Vevcani is located at the foot of the Jablanica Mountain, 14 kilometres away from the Ohrid Lake and the town of Struga. It has over 2.500 inhabitants and its own local self-government. It sees its perspective in tourism development. You can reach Vevcani by bus or by another vehicle. Accommodation of bigger tourist groups is done in hotels in Struga and, for individual tourists and smaller groups it is done in private houses in Vevcani.

There are 8 restaurants in the settlement where guests can freshen up and get something to eat. Vevcani people are known as skilful builders which can also be noted in the village architecture. Lovers of the Macedonian cuisine and of authentic environment should certainly visit a restaurant called “Domakinska kuka” where traditional dishes are prepared. Vevcani must be visited during its Carnival and also at the time of Lazarica-Gjurgjovden holiday events.    

But don't forget to ask for the Vevcani “passport” and to buy the Vevcani “currency”. You should indeed visit the Vevcani Springs - one of the most beautiful and extraordinary ones in Macedonia. For fans of mountain tourism, picnics are organized including a special local guide. In addition to being attractive in summer, Vevcani is attractive during winter period as well, especially on the Vasilica holiday (January 13 and 14), and also during Vodogorski holidays (January 19). Guests can also visit the Vevcani shrines including the St. Nikola church (XIX century), the three “paraklis” at the site of the Vevcani Springs and other shrines in the vicinity of Vevcani.

Every Jan. 14, on St. Vasilij Day, outsiders flock to Vevcani for the village carnival, a 1,300-year tradition with pagan roots. Its highlight is political satire, with masked villagers acting out current events.

The village has created its own coat of arms - two harlequins dancing over a magic cauldron. It also issues red Vevcani passports and prints a currency, the licnik, to hand out as a souvenir. But villagers do not use the bills as legal tender, imprinting them with the word "specimen" to avoid breaking Macedonia's currency laws.
