History
Dojran was a city on the west shore of Lake Dojran in the southeast part of North Macedonia. Today, it is a collective name for two villages on the territory of the ruined city: Nov Dojran and Star Dojran, which contains both old ruins and recent construction, especially hotels, resorts, and restaurants. Dojran is 170 kilometers (110 mi) from Skopje, 59 kilometers (37 mi) from Strumica, and some 30 kilometers (19 mi) from Gevgelija. The nearest airports are Thessaloniki International Airport and Skopje Airport. The mayor of Dojran Municipality is currently Ango Angov. The old city of Dojran was totally ruined during the First World War, and the modern villages were established after the Second World War.
