General presentation
Kruševo and Prilep
Centre-west mountainous and historical, between Kruševo perched, towers of Marko, isolated monasteries and rocky landscapes of Pelagonia.
To understand what Kruševo and Prilep are, you must look at Kruševo, Marko Towers and Treskavec Monastery. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, heritage, countryside and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: mountain roads and sometimes slow access. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Mountain town
Kruševo
Kruševo is one of the highest cities in the Balkans, with traditional houses, wide views and strong historical memory. Its relative isolation is part of the experience: it comes for air, slopes, museums and a slower rhythm.
Rock Fortress
Towers of Marko
The Tours de Marko Pilep dominates in a landscape of granite blocks and dry reliefs. The site requires a little walking, but it rewards with very open views and an impression of fortress almost melted in the rock.
Isolated Monastery
Treskavec Monastery
The Treskavec monastery is located in a rocky setting above Prilep, with a feeling of isolation that gives the place a lot of strength. Access requires anticipation, but the mixture of mineral landscape, silence and religious heritage is a lasting sign of the stage.
