“In Kosovo, Prizren stands as the country’s beacon of
creativity, set at the base of the Sharr Mountains along the river Bistrica and
host to rich Byzantine and Ottoman architecture. Visit during August when the
city hosts DokuFest, the largest film festival in all of Kosovo, featuring live
music sets, photo exhibitions, and screenings of more than 200 films from
around the world. Stay at Hotel Kacinari or Hotel Centrum Prizren, and to get
the most of both city and country life, tour the area with Butterfly Outdoor
Adventure and Airtour: Begin with an interactive workshop at a local filigree
factory, dine on kebabs near Prizren’s Stone Bridge at Te Syla, and venture
uphill to the Prizren Fortress, which offers the perfect view of bustling
Prizren from above. Head into nature on a hike to Struzha, where you can stay
at a traditional guesthouse and enjoy a campfire and local meal before
completing a cross-country hike from Kosovo to Macedonia, summiting Scarpa Peak
and passing Kara Nikolla Lake along the way.”
