- Start the day with an effortless walk in the area of King Marko's towers (Markov Kuli). The towers of Macedonian medieval Prince Marko Mrnjavčević are located on a 120-180 m high hill, surrounded by steep slopes covered with minute granite stones. The significance of the fortress Markovi Kuli (Marko's Towers) and the medieval town of Prilep, in the long history of the Balkans, is great, primarily because of its location in Pelagonia.
- Walk around in Varosh (the old town of Prilep) around the fort's remains, followed by a coffee break arranged at a spot with a great view over Pelagonia.
- From King Marko's Towers, continue to the Tobacco Institute of Prilep, where the wealthiest Tobacco Museum in the Balkans is situated, consisting of 1600 exhibits, an art collection of 150 artworks in paintings and sculpture and two models of old Macedonian houses.
