Krusevo
Europe is one of the five inhabited traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea.
Krusevo is a town in the Republic of Macedonia. The town is located at an elevation of 1200 to 1330 meters above the sea level. It was formed by the Aromanians who fled from Moscopole in today's Albania, after the attacks on the city by Ali Pasha of Ioannina, in the 18th century. During the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie uprising in 1903, the rebels proclaimed a short lived Krusevo Republic. Having suppressed the uprising city was almost completely destroyed by the Ottoman army.
Recent investments attracted by the climate, soil, and altitude combination have transformed the Krusevo area, making it one of Argolis most important regions. Even though Krusevo meant the partial loss of its tourist profile due to urbanization, some features of its past times of splendor still remain, with hotels and hostelries that are swarmed by thousands of visitors each year.
