In the period of “modern era”( XIX c. - WWI), an era of national awakening and literacy, a period when the big Empires dissolved into smaller nation-states, Macedonia as the rest of the Eastern Europe became a war polygon for the big powers and their Balkan country allies.
If you want to hear the stories from the great XIX c. archaeologist - Sir Arthur Evans, those of the mystery seeking, defiant young poet and hero - Lord George Gordon Byron, or the truth from the trenches of the Macedonian front at the Great War, then book some of ours modern era tours.

“…Macedonia sends forth her invincible race,
for a time they abandon the cave and the chase,
but those scarves of blood-red shall be redder, before
the sabre is sheathed and the battle is o’er…”
(Lord George Gordon Byron - Childe Harold's Pilgrimage)
