Description

Discover the natural beauty just outside Skopje on a half-day tour exploring Vodno Mountain and the stunning Matka Canyon in North Macedonia. Begin your journey with a convenient hotel pickup and a scenic drive up Vodno Mountain, where you’ll pause at the summit to capture sweeping views of the Skopje valley.

Take in the impressive Millennium Cross, the largest cross in Europe, perched atop Vodno Mountain. If weather allows, enjoy a cable car ride to the top for panoramic vistas that stretch across the city and surrounding landscapes, offering a unique perspective on Skopje’s natural setting.

Continue your adventure with a visit to the 12th-century Church of Saint Panteleimon. Marvel at its striking Byzantine frescoes and historic architecture, a testament to the region’s rich cultural heritage. Please note, a small entry fee applies for this remarkable site.

Your final destination is the breathtaking Matka Canyon, a nature reserve known for its dramatic cliffs and tranquil waters. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and, if you wish, opt for an additional boat trip to explore the fascinating Vrelo Cave, one of the canyon’s hidden gems.

Travel in comfort with air-conditioned transportation and the guidance of a knowledgeable local guide throughout your five-hour journey. Group sizes are kept small for a more personal experience. Secure your spot now and immerse yourself in Skopje’s most unforgettable natural wonders!
