Some years ago I went on a number of bicycle tours in different regions of Macedonia. The experiences enabled me to see a part of the country that very few people today get to see. An enthusiasm was born in me to visit more of those ancient villages where the houses are made of stone and mud only, that have walls that are 0.6m thick, according to those architectonic solutions of old. It is a fascinating phenomenon to say the least. I have been to a village that had only four people living in it. I wonder how many of them are still alive. This place is just so far away from everything else. Just talking to the old people in these villages was an experience. Their eyes were brilliant and peaceful. They were present in the moment. I learned this skill from my trips to the villages around Macedonia. Since 2014 I dedicated most of my excursions to one particular region, because I find it to be the most fascinating, the most unique place. I am very fortunate that I have made some friends there. If you are interested to visit this special zone, far away from civilization, I can take you there. I can only take few people and my availability is limited, so going there will require scheduling the adventure ahead of time. My approach is fully professional. I can take you there and we can have many conversations, or you can enjoy the silence and become immersed in the environment. If you try to become one with everything, you will see the magic in the flowers, in the rocks, in the air around it. I love it and I think everyone should get to love it. I can provide myself for a single day adventure but there is the option to stay one or two nights. Options for an accommodation are sleeping under an open sky, inside sleeping bags or tents (May to September) or sleeping in a modest house that has electricity, a toilet and water from a well. I don't have a fixed program for the adventures that I am offering. We can organized everything together ahead of time, or in the car. We can walk around the village, go on a light hiking trail, walk from village to village, visit a very old monastery, make food, pick wild tea, taste home-made goat cheese, visit my friends and drink rakija. We can make this a creative experience by making land art in the open field. We can visit the amazing shapes made of volcanic rock, we can go forest-bathing next to a stream, we can visit a religious temple or a burial chamber from antiquity. One thing that I can guarantee is, this will be a special experience with lots of photo opportunities. Getting there from Skopje takes 2.5 hours driving. I drive. If interested get in touch.
