Reviews by readers

Very useful and very informative

I absolutely loved this guide; even though I have traveled through Macedonia many times there were a lot of little useful details and insights Thammy offers in her book. I would recommend the book to anyone traveling to Macedonia even travelers returnees.

Finally a useful and reliable guide for Macedonia

When I first set out to my assignment in Macedonia, I went off to bookstores to get a book on the country. To no avail. Yes, there were a couple of pages in some regional guides but nothing that gave a full overview of the countrry and all the hidden treasures there is to see here. Also it gives a good overview of the fascinating history of this part of the world. I am sure the book will find a rich audience of all internationals in the country that are not acquainted with and hardly travels outside the Skopje and Ohrid axis. Now their eyes have been opened. It should also find audiences of those who have never been to this country and want to find hidden treasures outside the regular paths of tourism.

Useful guide, with a pinch of salt

This is a useful guide to Macedonia, clearly written by someone with an enthusiasm and love for the country, which is to be applauded. However, while the writer is extremely helpful about places to visit and mountains to climb, and so on, she does little to conceal her own prejudices. In places there are unfortunate assertions (about certain groups) that do little to dispel myth and stereotype, and do not help to promote reconciliation and understanding. This is probably unintentional and written in all innocence, but as the guide purports to support responsible tourism, it could perhaps be written with a greater degree of sensitivity, given the well known tensions and history of conflict in the country. Read carefully, with a large pinch of salt!
