Astronomical Observatory, Planetarium & Hotel

International Balkan University

Idea projektu

Kokino is home to a megalithic observatory. Today, the sites potential is not being used as it should and only local tours are given to the location. This project aims to change the current situation and give life to Kokino. Since Macedonia does not have an official astronomical observatory, there is no better place for it to be positioned than near Kokino. The project has the aim to make Kokino a valuable tourist attraction and start a new chapter in the astronomical journey of the country.
