Remains of those baths still exists, and some of them are still used for relaxation and pleasure. The country has 64 springs with different water temperature, between 20-72 degrees. The waters are rich in sulphur, phosphorus, arsenic, iodine, bromine – elements with huge healing and physiotherapeutic features.
Each wine has its own secret story. It soaks the magic of the region where the grapes were cultivated, the warmth of the hand that gathered it, the skill of the wine maker that made the miraculous drink. The story of the Macedonian wines is cordial, friendly and colorful, since they have been cultivated in the most fertile regions bathed in the heat of the sun, in the flow of the Vardar River. Although Macedonian wines live their renaissance in the last ten years, the grapes have set their roots on this land a long time ago.
Springs with foam water, high and green forests, mountain peaks that capture you with their beauty, the ecological apples that grow at 1.200 meters above the see level, are only part of the values that Macedonian villages have. Located in mountain bosom, they are enchanting with their authentic architecture, warmth and cordiality of their hosts. Windmills where flour is still made, old bobbins, making pipes and flutes that produce the sounds of the folk songs and dances are part of the mosaic of the Macedonian villages.
Almost all Macedonian monasteries have been built in the mountains’ bosoms at places difficult to access, in areas with wonderful natural beauties, surrounded by thick forests and wide meadows.

Секое вино во себе носи некоја тајна приказна. Во него е впиена магијата на регионот во кој што се одгледува, топлината на раката која што го набрала, вештината на винарот кој што ја правил чудесната напивка. Приказната за македонските вина е средечна, пријателска и колоритна, оти се одгледувани во најплодните региони заплискувани од топлината на сонцето, долж течението на Реката Вардар.Иако вистинската ренесанса македонските вина ја доживуваат последниве десетина години, на ова тло виновата лоза одамна ги има пуштено своите корени. Тие полека, но сигурно почнаа да се пробиваат на странските пазари и да го освојуваат истенчениот вкус на Европјаните.
Изворите со пенлива вода, високата и зелена шума, планинските врвови кои пленат со својата убавина, еколошките јаболка кои зреат на надморска височина од 1.200 метри, се само дел од благодетите со кои располагаат македонските села. Сместени во планинските пазуви тие воодушевуваат со својата автентична архитектура, топлина и срдечност на домаќините. Водениците во кои се уште се меле брашно, старите вретена за предење волна, изработката на кавалите и гајдите од кои се шират звуците на народните песни и ора, се дел од мозаикот на македонските села.
