THE TRIP

An experience to remember

North Macedonia is much more than you can imagine. In this getaway you will enter the history of the magical place of Dojran, you will connect with the local population, you will taste delicious delicacies and you will live the most incredible music of the country in the D-Festival.

Dojran, formerly Star Dojran was first inhabited in prehistoric times, and the first written document of the city dates from the 5th century, in which the Greek historian Herodotus wrote about the Peonians, an ancient Thracian-Illyrian people, who founded and expanded the city. Herodotus points out how the Peonians lived in settlements that could only be accessed by boat, settlements that still exist today on the west and north shores of Lake Dojran, between the reed beds and the lake itself.

Stroll through its streets with our local host, navigate its famous Dojran Lake, savour fresh and local produce, explore Koleshino Falls and dance until dawn.

Discover the traditional culture of fishermen, marvel at the mountain and its waterfalls, have fun in a cozy and musical Dojran!
