Prilep, little known outside of North Macedonia, I had no idea what to expect and was delighted to hike to Markovi Kuli and the views offered.
Wikipedia refers to Markovi Kuli or Marko's Towers as the fortress that stood atop the hill but the local information board describes it as being the whole hill, "A Monument of Nature".
To get there from town, walk up the main street heading North West and take a smaller road off to the right and then a footpath. See it on Maps Me. Then you'll reach the dirt road and 'Stone Elephant Rock". Then just follow the dirt road. It's not that far.

Take supplies with you!

Where to stay in Prilep:

I stayed at the Guest House Antika. 5 min walk to the centre. Clean and quiet. Chris the owner is very amiable, a great source of local information and always happy to help.
