About this ride
Matka Canyon is one of the most loved natural spots near Skopje, with steep cliffs, a calm green lake, medieval monasteries and boat trips to the Vrelo cave. Many guests stay at the hotel by the dam or simply want to start their trip with nature.
From the airport the drive skirts around Skopje and heads southwest into the canyon. It takes about 45 minutes, and your driver will drop you as close to the lake as the road allows.
