Bukovo Monastery sits in the hills southwest of Bitola, close enough for a short excursion but far enough to feel outside the city's Ottoman street grid. The monastery is associated with the village of Bukovo and the wooded lower slopes that lead toward Pelister.
It is a modest, peaceful stop rather than a headline sight. Go if you are already exploring the villages and foothills around Bitola, or if you want a quieter Orthodox site after Heraclea, Širok Sokak, and the city's more obvious monuments.
