Itinerary

  • 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.
