Kratovo - the town that brings back history

Kratovo is a small town located in northeast Macedonia. The city is named after the extinct volcano it is located in. The whole city is rich in history and that’s why it’s dressed in a historical style.

If you want to cool off in a mountain climate, Kratovo is the right choice for you. It’s a magnificent place where you can relax, charge the batteries, and prepare for the upcoming workweek.

Kratovo is best known for the towers and bridges built in old town Macedonian architecture as well as Ottoman-era architecture. The whole environment itself is picturesque and teeming with exotic things. The distinctive verandas on the houses are a standout feature that adds to the town's charm. You'll feel as though you have stepped back in time.

One of the famous landmarks in Kratovo is the Clock Tower which dates back to the 17th century.

Additional charm to the town is the Stone Bridge known as Krali Marko Bridge which was built in the 19th century.

What's most fascinating about Kratovo is the wealth of tunnels and underground labyrinths. They were part of the mining centre during the medieval period and today some of these tunnels are open for exploration.

If you are starving, there's no space for worries. There is a wealth of magnificent places where you can take a break and savour some delicious food. The most well-known of these is Hotel Kratis, which is available for your enjoyment. It's an exquisite place where you can taste delectable food while taking a scenic view.
