Depart Skopje and travel in air-conditioned comfort to Vodno Mountain. Ride the cable car up to Millennium Cross on arrival, and enjoy panoramic views back across Skopje from one of the biggest Christian crosses in the world. Take the cable car back down Vodno Mountain to continue to the mountain village of Gorno Nerezi by air-conditioned vehicle. Visit the small 12th-century Church of St. Panteleimon on arrival and marvel at the historical frescoes of Byzantine art inside. Next, make your way to the Matka Canyon to enjoy a tasty lunch in a nice restaurant by the lake. Take an optional boat trip to the Vrelo cave or go for a nature walk along the many marked trails. Fill your lungs with fresh country air before the return trip to Skopje, and get dropped off at the triumphal arch of the Porta Macedonia on arrival.

Important Information

Cable Car Operation: The cable car does not run on Mondays or the last Tuesday of the month, and may be suspended in bad weather. On such days, the visit to the Millennium Cross is replaced with a panoramic stop at Mid-Vodno reached by mini-bus.
Itinerary Order: For operational reasons and to improve guest experience, the itinerary may occasionally run in reverse order (Matka Canyon first, then Nerezi and Vodno).
Matka Canyon Free Time: Once at Matka, guests are free to choose: o A walk around the canyon o A short boat ride or long boat ride to Vrelo Cave o Kayaking o Or lunch at the only restaurant on-site (note: it gets very busy in summer) ⏱ If choosing the 1-hour boat tour to Vrelo Cave, there will not be enough time for lunch. We advise bringing snacks or packed food in high season.
After the visit to St. Pantelejmon church, enjoy a brief stop at the newly opened Macedonian Village Complex, a charming representation of traditional architecture and village life.
