Wine town
Kavadarci

Lake and hills
Lac de Tikveš
The lake of Tikveš Extend its waters between dry hills, valleys and quiet roads south of Kavadarci. It is a landscape stop more local than spectacular, interesting to slow down a wine route or look for a late-day light.
Archeological site
Stobi
Stobi occupies a strategic site near the old Vardar valley, with streets, mosaics, theatre and remains of several periods. The visit completes very well Tikveš, because it adds a clear historical stage to a region especially associated with wine.
