Meteory - wiszące klasztory na skałach w Grecji

Na szczytach skał umiejscowiony jest zespół 24 prawosławnych klasztorów (monastyrów). Początkowo wszelkie materiały potrzebne do budowy i życia mnichów wciągane były na linach, również odwiedzający mogli dostać się do monastyrów jedynie w taki sposób. Obecnie część z monastyrów udostępniona jest dla zwiedzających i dla ich wygody wybudowano schody i pomosty.

Šar planina - Macedonia

Titov Vrv (2,748 m) - the highest peak in the Šar Mountain.
The summit was named after former Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito. On top of the mountain, there is a small tower (still standing), so the mountain can be recognized from far away.

Galičnik Wedding Festival - Macedonia

The Galichnik Wedding Festival is an annual festival held in the Macedonian village of Galičnik near the city of Debar in which a selected couple gets married in the traditional "Galichka" style wedding. Traditionally the wedding lasted for 5 days with the main activities on St. Peter's Day (12 July) every year. It was the only period of the year when couples got married. Today it is part of the festival "Galichko Leto" (Galicnik Summer) and it is a two-day event held on the weekend nearest to 12 July and it serves as a cultural and tourist attraction. During the wedding, men dance the Teškoto, symbolizing the suffering of the Macedonian people through the centuries. Each year, couples from all over Macedonia enter a competition run by the organisers to be the couple that gets to have a "Galichka" style wedding. Every year, a new couple gets the opportunity.
