The third stop on the trip to North Macedonia was Bitola.

To start getting an idea of the places and views that I was able to admire, I invite you to watch the video below containing the most significant images of this experience.

How to reach Bitola?

During this trip to North Macedonia I reached my destination by direct bus from Ohrid (find out the article here). Obviously it is also possible to reach this city by bus coming from Skopje or from neighboring Greece.

First steps towards the center of Bitola

I started getting to know this southern city of North Macedonia starting from the Clock Tower area and walking towards the pedestrian zone crossing Magnolia Square

where I left the statue of King Philip II of Macedonia on my right.

Stories of straights :)

I remember that the avenue was swarming with people (perhaps also because it was Sunday!) and, in fact, I found it difficult to try to bring home some shots without “invaders” of the scene: D
Having crossed the entire avenue, I came to the beginning of another pedestrian straight line. What is it about? The answer is simple: the stretch that approaches the BItola city park.

Archaeological site of Heraclea Lyncestis in Bitola

Why was this long walk necessary? Here too the answer is immediate: reach the famous archaeological site of Heraclea Lyncestis (find out the article here).

Mosques and Old Bazaar

I dedicated the last part of the daily experience to the part of the city that I still lacked. What is it about? I had not yet seen the area of the New Mosque, the Ishak Chelebi Mosque and the Old Bazaar (Stara Charshija).

The journey continues…

The next stop on the journey was Prilep (find out the article here).
