Three interesting orthodox monasteries - Our guide seemed quite professional, he explained interesting facts about the culture and history of Kosovo. He could have explained a bit more about the medieval frescoes in the monasteries. We did not have the occasion of having lunch but that was not really a problem since the excursion ended at about 3 pm. We also got the possibility to visit the ethnographical museum of Pristina.
