Adventure Tour Canyon Matk St. Pantelemon Mt. Vodno and Breakfast
4.9 / 5 · 50 traveler reviews
Escape the city and discover the natural and cultural highlights around Skopje on a small-group experience. Meet us in front of Espresso Bar “Podvig,” in the heart of Skopje, where the journey begins with our Macedonian “Breakfast of Champions” — a traditional pastry made by a neighborhood bakery. With breakfast, every guest can enjoy a complimentary coffee or tea. It's a relaxed way to meet your guide and fellow travelers, because every adventure is better on a full stomach! After breakfast, we head to Matka Canyon, arriving early to enjoy its atmosphere, crystal-clear waters, spectacular scenery before the crowds. Walk along scenic paths, explore at your own pace, or choose a boat ride to Vrelo Cave or a kayaking adventure. We then visit the 12th-century Church of St. Panteleimon, famous for its Byzantine frescoes, before continuing to Mount Vodno and taking the cable car to the Millennium Cross for panoramic views over Skopje. Small groups keep the experience personal and unhurried.
