The city of Gjilan is located in a distance of 47 km in the southeast of the capital city Prishtina. It has a surface of 515 km2 and includes 63 villages. In this part of Kosovo, which is also known with the name Anamorava there is a population of 130.000
Of the areas of Kosovo I have traveled so far, I have to say I enjoy Gnjilan best so far. Gnjilan has retained its Eastern European flavor, although some locals prefer it to advance more than it has. It is a more manageable area to navigate, so poking around shops or having a machiatto or cappuccino is just around the corner. If you want to people watch, go to the outdoor cafe in front of the Kristal Hotel in the center. You can get a bite to eat there as well as a drink and just relax. There is also a nice green market not far from the center. Much more relaxing than the hustle and bustle of Prishtina which is just too busy for me, although there are some good restaurants there as well like the Gresa Restaurant and the Thai Restaurant next door to that.
