The main getaway to Macedonia is Alexander The Great Airport in the outskirts of Skopje. It is relatively small but definitely modern and very clean. It is built by the Turkish TAV (Tepe-Akfen-Vie) company which also built the airports in Istanbul.So, internal architecture-wise this airport is very similar to those in Istanbul. Once you reach the airport, there are several ways to get to the city center. I just want to briefly mention them.
There are many taxis waiting outside the airport.
There is also furgons operated by Vardar Express. The price to city center is 100 MK Dinar which is around 2.1 US$.
Here is the ticket for Vardar Express. There are several stops along the route. It also passes through the international bus station. Getting off around Hotel Holiday Inn is enough for walking to the historical old city, Stari Grad.
Just out of the airport, the roads looked good. Evidently, the Macedonian government is trying to beautify the country.
Right between the airport and city center, there is the municipality called Gazi Baba.
Halkbank was a big hit over there. All the billboards were full with their advertisements. Also Acibadem hospital was exhibiting itself everywhere.

ReplyDeleteDid you get the bus ticket on the bus or at a counter in the station? great Blog, this and the Ohrid to Tirana have been very useful.
