Promoting the Rich Tradition of Kratovo with My Wife
Outside, in front of the yard of the 'Shancheva' house, the cat peacefully sleeps, waiting for each new bite of the delicious food being prepared in the kitchen. In this rustic yard, which the owner Stevche Donevski arranges with the aim of preserving the traditional way of life in Kratovo, peace and tranquility prevail.

Mr. Donevski and his wife Valentina decided to purchase an old rustic house built 300 years ago, previously owned by renowned fabric traders from Thessaloniki and Dubrovnik.
After restoring the house, they chose to preserve all the traditional elements so that this house could tell the story of the past.

Она што ја прави толку привлечна куќата се вештите раце на госпоѓата Валентина, без кои раце ова куќа не би го имала комплетниот дух.
While Stevche is responsible for welcoming guests, Valentina is in charge of preparing wonderful traditional dishes such as homemade cheese, fresh vegetable salad that can be directly harvested from their garden depending on the season, roasted peppers with grape vinegar, traditional bean stew, twisted banitsa, dried vegetables, and of course, the homemade k’cana salt.

Wonderful comments about the owners are coming from all over the world. Many people say that they are wonderful individuals with whom you can raise a glass of wine and have a great conversation. They are also fluent in English, which is another advantage when it comes to attracting foreign tourists.

Kratovo is a great city to explore. You can visit many places and hear numerous stories about this location. Many refer to it as an "open-air museum."
Not far from the city is the archaeological site of "Kuklica." Here, you can find stone figures that, according to scientists, were created over 10 million years ago, long before humans existed on the planet.

Our recommendation is to visit Kratovo at least once in your life. Small towns have a story of their own. Before leaving the town, don't forget to buy local handicrafts or spices. This is one of the oldest cities in the Balkans, a place known as the city of bridges and towers.
