Churches in Krusevo are yet another architectural phenomenon, and a beautiful decor on the touristic map of Krusevo.

People in Krusevo are considered traditional and close to their inherited cultural customs and values, part of which is visiting their church. One of the four churches in Krusevo is St. Nikola.

The church St. John is called the Vlach church where many people from the Vlach ethnical group gather.

During 1956, when the pro-democratic revolution in Hungary began, approximately 500 Hungarian refugees came to Krusevo and spent about half a year in the town. They were situated in two parts of Krusevo and supplied with food and other necessities from the Ilinden hotel.

We’ve talked a lot already about history, culture and architecture in Krusevo, so we think that now is the perfect time to talk about traditional food here. When you travel around Macedonia you should have one thing in mind: everywhere in this country you can find really tasty food. The same is true about Krusevo. Starting with melted cheese in a pot to Krusevska pita (pastry with cheese, spinach or cabbage) and Krusevsko grne ( different kind of cheese mixed with mushrooms, ham and egg, baked in a pot) you can find a wealth of delicious options.

On the 23rd of May 2016, the national day of Aromanian (Vlach) people, the Vlach room has been opened and serves to illustrate the every-day life of Aromanians in Krusevo.

This room is also a symbol of the multiethnic population living in Krusevo and the coexistence between different nationalities.

The traditional Krushevo cuisine combines Balkan and Mediterranean characteristics, inherited largely from Turkish tastes that prevailed during long centuries of Ottoman rule. Travelers are delighted by the taste of local tomatoes, carrots, lettuces, parsley, onions, and garlic - not to mention the rich flavor and aroma of fresh fruit, such as watermelons, melons, cherries, apricots, grapes, peaches, and others. Most herbs are collected in the local mountains and in the countryside, and are renowned for their taste, scent and healing properties.
