Journeys In Colors

A Glimpse of what to expect this summer in Lebanon

If you are planning a trip off-the-beaten-path, think no more. Ohrid is the place.

Ohrid is The Republic of Macedonia's most seductive destination, with an atmospheric old quarter cascading down a graceful hill, crammed full of beautiful churches and topped by the bones of a medieval castle.

The Republic of Macedonia has agreed a historic deal with neighboring Greece to change its name to the Northern Republic of Macedonia.

The reason for the rift between the two goes back to 1991 when Macedonia – officially the Republic of Macedonia – became independent after peacefully seceding from Yugoslavia. However, within Greece there is also a region called Macedonia, which directly neighbors the country.
