Lozovo District is an administrative district in the central part of the Republic of North Macedonia, located about 40 kilometers southeast of the capital city of Skopje. Named after the administrative center, the town of Lozovo, the district covers an area of approximately 166 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 2,800, making it one of the more sparsely populated regions in North Macedonia.
The District of Lozovo is situated in a hilly area and has a temperate continental climate with warm, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. Agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy, producing grapes, cereals and vegetables, and the surrounding hills retain a pristine forest landscape.
The district retains the remains of Ottoman architecture and Orthodox churches, and an annual wine festival in the fall attracts tourists from around the region. The neighboring Koca Water Spring, one of the largest karst springs in the Balkans, is a popular destination for nature lovers.
The district of Lozovo is connected to Greece by the A2 highway, which facilitates the logistics of agricultural products. In recent years, rural tourism has evolved, offering traditional Macedonian lodging experiences and ecological hiking trails.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
