Description

Paddle through the stunning Matka Canyon on a kayak tour from Sofia. Discover the beauty of Vrelo Cave (optional), enjoy the tranquility of Lake Matka. Explore Skopje - the Old Bazaar & fruit market!
Arrive at the Matka Canyon, home to a great treasure of natural rarities, rich oak and beech forests, beautiful pink flowers of Natalie's Ramonda, white-headed eagles, unique butterflies, and speleological objects. Begin your acitivity paddling a kayak along the Matka Canyon. Discover a beautiful piece of untouched nature, rich in rare animal species and endemic plants just 15 km from the capital.
See the artificial Lake Matka, created in 1938 by partitioning the river Treska with a dam. The lake water is used for obtaining electricity and for irrigation of the surrounding villages. The lake is stocked and is often used for sports fishing.

In this lake, there is the underwater cave Vrelo, one of the deepest underwater caves in Europe, which has a depth of more than 203 m. From about ten caves in the speleological park, Vrelo is the only one that currently functions as a tourist attraction. Its immediate vicinity to Lake Matka makes it most suitable for tourist exploitation.

In the afternoon visit Skopje - the capital of North Macedonia. It is the largest city in the country and it represents an administrative-political, economic, cultural and educational-scientific centre. It is located in the northern part of the country, divided into two parts by the river Vardar. The city in the course of its existence, depending on the historical circumstances, was named by different names, and its ancient name was Skupi.
Here you can visit the memorial house of Mother Theresa, walk accross the Vardar river on the Stone bridge from the time of Justinian and visit the lively Old Bazaar and the fruit and vegetables market.
Taste the local food - from burek to chevapi, drink yougurt and airan, even the lager - Skopsko is quite worth it!
