Pick North Macedonia 🇲🇰 if you're going in…

September

Stay on Ohrid's old-town side and walk to Sveti Jovan Kaneo at sunset.

Pick United Kingdom 🇬🇧 if you're going in…

May has long days and the fewest Scottish midges.

Months where both are equally good: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, October, November, December.
