Generally off the radar of most travelers, Macedonia is gaining new exposure for its mountains, charming villages and cultural heritage. The new Macedonia Experience allows visitors to choose exactly the way they’d like to explore, whether that’s rock climbing and hiking across the landscape, wandering through churches, monasteries and ancient sites, or discovering folkloric traditions and fine wines.

Transportation arrangements to and from Macedonia are your responsibility, but once there, multi-day tours include accommodations in your choice of hotel category, guided tours in English and applicable taxes. Among the many themed itineraries are Macedonia in 4 Days (Skopje, the Megalithic Observatory at Kokino, the Monastery Complex of St. Joakim Osogovski in Kriva Palanka and the mountains near Berovo Lake), Macedonia in 8 Days (Skopje, Mavrovo National Park, the UNESCO Heritage site of Ohrid, the Monastery of St. Naum and the city of Bitola), Ancient Macedonia (visits to significant sites including Matika Canyon, Heraclea Lyncestis, the royal capital of Vergina, Athos and Thessaloniki) and options for specially focused bird watching and culinary expeditions.
