An unforgettable one-day journey to one of the most picturesque places in North Macedonia! 🌿⛰️

We will immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Matka Canyon, a striking combination of sheer cliffs, turquoise waters, caves and greenery. We will have plenty of free time to enjoy the place the way we like: with a pleasant walk, a boat trip, beautiful photos or a tasty lunch with a view of the canyon.

Afterwards we head to Kriva Palanka, where we will soak up the atmosphere of a traditional Macedonian market, and finally we visit the beautiful Osogovo Monastery.
