A day that takes you from the stunning serenity of Matka Canyon to the vibrant heritage of Tetovo. Explore the mesmerizing Painted Mosque and find peace in the centuries-old Arabati Baba Tekke.

Step away from the city's hustle and enjoy a full-day escape into nature, history, and culture. Begin your journey at Matka Canyon—home to rare wildlife, dramatic cliffs, and crystal-clear waters. Glide across the lake by kayak, take a boat ride to Vrelo Cave, or simply relax with a meal on a terrace overlooking the canyon. Continue to Tetovo, a city nestled beneath the Shara Mountain. Discover the beautifully adorned Painted Mosque, a true Ottoman gem, and feel the calm at Arabati Baba Tekke, a tranquil Dervish monastery. A perfect mix of beauty, tradition, and discovery awaits!
