Description

Pedal away from your Skopje accommodation on a private bike tour to the stunning Matka Canyon. Pass by Lake Matka and the Monastery of St. Andrea while learning fascinating stories about the area's history and culture. Customize your journey with a boat ride, a break at the lake, or a hike for a truly unique experience.

Your bike journey to Matka Canyon starts in Skopje, passing through the outer neighborhoods and suburbs. Riding further, you'll reach Gjorche Petrov, a former farming village, and Park Saraj, once a lively spot in Yugoslavia.

Along the way, you'll cycle through Krushopek and Grchec, villages with strong Muslim traditions. Next, you'll pass through Shishevo village, where Christian and Muslim communities live side-by-side.

As you approach Matka Canyon, the surroundings become greener and more pristine. You'll see the Treska River's kayak slalom course and stop by Lake Matka to enjoy the peaceful views before visiting the Monastery of St. Andrea.

At Matka Canyon, the real adventure begins. You can take a boat ride to Vrelo Cave, one of the deepest underwater caves in the world. If you prefer to stay on land, relax by the lake or hike to St. Nicolas of Shisevo Monastery, perched above the canyon.

The activity is offered in 3 languages: English, Croatian, and Serbian.
