Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Skopje Airport (SKP) to Matka Canyon takes about 30 min by car on an empty road (30–40 min in heavy traffic) over 41 km via A4. Our private transfer costs €50 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €70 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the Arrivals Hall on the ground floor of the terminal, after baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Matka Canyon lies south-west of Skopje, where the Treska river cuts through the Suva Gora mountains, about 42 km by road from the airport. The route crosses the city or follows its southern bypass, then leaves through the Saraj area and climbs a narrow local road to the canyon entrance near the dam. The last kilometres are narrow and busy with visitors' cars on sunny weekends, and parking at the end of the road is limited.
The road ends near the dam at the entrance to the canyon, and from there a footpath follows the shore of Lake Matka, an artificial lake with steep limestone walls. Boats take visitors to Vrelo Cave, one of the deepest underwater caves in Europe, and kayaks can be hired on the lake. The Monastery of St. Andrew stands by the water near the start of the path, and hiking trails lead up into the surrounding mountains.
Public transport instead: Erak Transporter (official airport shuttle bus) Skopje International Airport – Skopje city from Skopje International Airport, terminal to Skopje: Central Bus Station (Nikola Karev 20), Hotel Continental, Holiday Inn, several departures a day, timetable adapted to flight arrivals and departures. No direct public transport from the airport to Matka Canyon: airport shuttle bus to Skopje city centre, then a city bus or other local transport from Skopje to the Matka area.
