Gevgelija - Macedonia For 91 Days

To Gamble or Not to Gamble in Gevgelija

We showed up in Gevgelija raring to hit the casinos. Gambling is one of our favorite vices and Gevgelija, a small city on the border with Greece, has a reputation as Macedonia's gaming hot spot. But even though a casino was just across the street from our hotel, we ended up taking a rain check. What went wrong?

The Ruins of Isar and Vardarski Rid

It was a long day of archaeology. In the morning, we hunted down Isar, an ancient settlement dating from the 7th century BC. Later, we drove over to the site of Vardarski Rid, on a hill overlooking Gevgelija. And our afternoon was spent at a museum which collects and displays the best archaeological finds from both sites.
