Overview

You can learn a lot about North Macedonia from what is on the table. These 7 nights are built around markets, cellar visits and a hands-on cooking class across Skopje · Ohrid · Mavrovo, with Lake Ohrid & the church of St John at Kaneo and Ohrid old town (UNESCO) in between so it is a proper trip and not just a long lunch. From ₹1,11,999 per person.

May – Sep is the sweet spot for North Macedonia (Europe), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ boutique & agriturismo hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹1,11,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, North Macedonia visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

★★★★★
Booked the 7N/8D Skopje trip with Explera for our first trip abroad and it was flawless — 4★ boutique & agriturismo, smooth transfers and a well-paced itinerary. Nothing to arrange ourselves, we just enjoyed.

Shreya Desai

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
Explera planned our Skopje holiday end to end — flights, 4★ boutique & agriturismo, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

Ronak Kakadia

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
Our first trip abroad to Skopje was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 8-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
