What do people like (and dislike) about Prilep?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Prilep, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in Prilep, often like the low cost of living, which allows them to maintain a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They also appreciate the friendly and welcoming locals, who are generally open to interacting with foreigners. The city's rich history and cultural heritage, including its beautiful monasteries and churches, provide a unique and fascinating backdrop for daily life. Prilep's natural beauty, with its surrounding mountains and landscapes, offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and rock climbing. The city's relatively small size and walkability make it easy to navigate and explore. Additionally, the local cuisine is delicious and diverse, with a variety of traditional Macedonian dishes to try. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier to be a challenge, as not everyone in Prilep speaks English. This can make it difficult to communicate and integrate into the local community. The city's infrastructure and public transportation system may also be lacking compared to larger cities, which can be frustrating for those who are used to more developed urban environments. The job market in Prilep may be limited, particularly for those seeking employment in specific industries or fields. This can make it difficult for expats and digital nomads to find work locally, and they may need to rely on remote work or freelance opportunities. Finally, the city's entertainment and nightlife options may be limited, which could be a drawback for those who enjoy a more vibrant social scene," wrote a member who made the move to Prilep, Macedonia.
