We will start the morning with a walking sightseeing tour of Skopje where we will visit the Macedonia square, Memorial House of Mother Teresa, Skopje Fortress Kale, the old Bazaar with its' mid-15th century han buildings: Suli An & Kapan Han and much more. Then, in the afternoon hours, we will be heading towards one of the best vineyards in Macedonia (outside of Skopje). We will have wine tasting, as well as a delicious lunch there (included in the price). Along the way, we will also see other well worthy attractions. In the evening we will drive back to Skopje.

Ohrid
Day 3-5
Our Macedonian trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to one of the most beautiful, picturesque cities in Macedonia, home of Europe's oldest lake - Ohrid. Ohrid is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the few in the world that is both a natural world heritage site (the lake itself) and a cultural world heritage site (the Old Town). It is said that in the past there were 365 churches in town, one for each day of the year hence the place was often called “Jerusalem of the Balkans”. Still today Ohrid is known for its numerous churches. In the morning, we will hit the road to Ohrid, have a traditional breakfast at the half way stop (included in the price), and then spend 2 days there while seeing some of the best spots. We will explore the Old Town with its beautiful ancient churches, the ancient amphitheatre and the Samuel’s Fortress that offers an incredible view of Ohrid (admission entry tickets included in the price). On the second day we will take a boat lake tour (also included) that will take us around and all the way to Saint Naum Monastery, a very popular touristic spot. Then there will be time for free activities, hiking, enjoying traditional lunch, shopping etc. In the evening hours, we will drive back to Skopje. 🌟 Special, optional activity --> Imagine soaring gently above the crystal-clear waters, with the majestic mountains and historic town below you. It's an experience that will leave you breathless and craving more. So why not seize the opportunity to make your visit to Ohrid truly extraordinary with a thrilling paragliding excursion above the lake? If you're feeling adventurous and paragliding sounds exciting to you - there's an opportunity to experience it in Ohrid! 🪂 🪂

On this day we will visit some of the best tourist attractions in Skopje: the mountain Vodno (a car cable ride to the top of it) offering an amazing overview of the capital & the canyon Matka, a wonderful nature sight where we will take a boat trip to the Vrelo cave (arguably the deepest in the world). Plenty of other activities are available on site: kayaking, hiking, visiting old monasteries or simply having a nice drink/lunch and enjoying the beauty of this touristic area. In the evening we will immerse in the locals - we will visit a traditional Macedonian kafana along with a live music performance (included in the price).
