Day 1: Discovering Skopje
Begin your Macedonian adventure in Skopje, the capital city. Explore the diverse architectural styles, from Ottoman mosques to buildings from the communist era. The city's highlight is its Old Bazaar and the Fortress of Skopje. Don't miss visiting the birthplace of Mother Theresa, now a museum. Wander through the Stone Bridge and Porta Macedonia, the main square where locals celebrate Independence Day. Enjoy local Macedonian cuisine at traditional kafanas and taste the region's renowned wines.
Day 2: Matka Canyon's Natural Wonders
On your second day, venture 17 kilometers southwest of Skopje to the stunning Matka Canyon. This scenic area offers activities like kayaking, hiking, cycling, and exploring old monasteries. Take a boat tour through the canyon, including a visit to the famous Vrelo Cave. Matka Canyon, not a natural wonder but an impressive sight nonetheless, was formed after a dam was built on the River Treska.
Day 3: Bitola's Historical Charm
Conclude your trip with a visit to Bitola, Macedonia's second-largest city. Known for its Ottoman-era architecture, Bitola is a blend of European and Ottoman cultures. Explore the Sirok Sokak, the main pedestrian street filled with cafes, shops, and restaurants. Visit significant historical sites like Heraclea Lyncestis, an ancient Greek city founded by Philip II of Macedon. The city's proximity to Lake Ohrid also makes it an ideal stop before exploring the famous lake.
