Gastronomy of Kratovo: A Story to Savor
Gastronomy of Kratovo: A Story to Savor
Today, we will share the story of Mladen Micevski, who is 27 years old, lives in Kratovo, and is one of the best promoters of the Kratovo region.
Mladen works as a vocational teacher in the hospitality and tourism field at the secondary school in Kratovo. He teaches students training to become hospitality technicians for rural tourism, with a primary focus on national gastronomy and traditional Macedonian and local specialties.

Together with his students, Mladen often participates in events that promote Kratovo’s traditional cuisine and local customs. Beyond these events, Mladen is also a skilled local tour guide who knows how to introduce Kratovo to curious tourists in an engaging way.
His passion for cooking traditional food began during his studies, but after returning to Kratovo, this interest deepened—especially when it comes to showcasing local, lesser-known specialties to visitors.



 


 


The young professor says that in his experience, he hasn’t met a tourist who wasn’t deeply moved by the stories of Kratovo. Many have asked to pause for a moment to fully experience the medieval atmosphere that Kratovo offers, as well as the fresh, clean air and the quietness that urban areas lack. Several times, tourists who initially planned only a short, one-day visit have ended up staying 3 to 4 days in the town. Mladen stays in touch with many tourists who express a strong desire to return to the charming streets of Kratovo.
