The Hidden Gem Uncovered

Airport pick-up, settle into your apartment, and meet your travel crew over drinks and bites. Later, enjoy your first taste of Macedonian cuisine at a traditional kafana.

Morning coffee and pastries, then off to the stunning Bigorski Monastery. After a hearty lunch, we’ll explore the charm of Ohrid’s old town, its lakeside views, churches, and cozy spots to eat.

Start with a classic fish ciorba breakfast. Visit Sveti Naum Monastery and take a boat ride on the springs. In the evening, discover Vevcani’s natural beauty, enjoy a top-notch kafana dinner, and stargaze in peace.

Hike to Duf Waterfalls in Mavrovo, followed by another traditional lunch. Back home, we’ll cook together and unwind under the stars.

On our way back to the capital, we’ll cruise through Matka Canyon by boat and after a refilling lunch we’ll explore Skopje’s art, history, and street life. Watch the sunset from Mount Vodno, dine with live music at a local kafana, and let the night take its course — bar, club, or chill vibes.

One last ciorba (this time with meat!), then we’ll go up to Mountain Vodno by cableway. After lunch, it’s time to head to the airport — with hearts and cameras full of memories.

Summer’s bringing the heat, but don’t let it fool you — nights in Mavrovo, Ohrid, and Vevcani can get chilly, so pack a hoodie! And for our waterfall hikes, sturdy boots are your best friend.
