Itinerary
Gadime cave is located within the marble limestones belonging to the Mesozoic era. The cave is full of quite extraordinary crystallized stalagmites and stalactites that have formed over millions of years.
We will make short sightseeing in Pristina, with an opportunity to see some of the capital's landmarks, or simply make a coffee break.
The mosque overlooks the main street of Prizren and is a dominant feature in the town's skyline.
The League of Prizren was an Albanian political organization officially founded on June 10, 1878, in the old town of Prizren, in the Kosova Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. The Museum is dedicated to League's history.
Our Lady of Ljeviš is a 14th-century Serbian Orthodox church in the town of Prizren. It was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire and then back into a church in the early 20th century. Today, the church can only be seen from the outside, as it is closed for the public.
We can make a lunch or a coffee break somewhere in the city and continue with our tour. We will pass by the Stone Bridge, a landmark of the city and a place, where we can see several buildings from different time periods, all in one sight. After our city tour, we will get back into our comfortable vehicle, and return to Skopje

A very good trip with a knowledgeable and passionate guide. He is from Kosovo himself and loves to share the dramatic story of his country. The caves are interesting, Pristina gives you a flavor of what the country is all about, and Prizren justifies the trip by itself both for its Ottoman and Prizren League memories. The guide kindly added upon our request the monastery of Gračanica, which has beautiful frescoes. We understand that sometimes Kosovo tours do not include Gračanica because it is a place where the Serbian minority presents its grievances, but the fact that they are freely expressed and you can buy there literature critical of the government is a good sign.
Our guide Petrit was very knowledgeable and friendly making a fun day in Kosovo! Definitely recommend this tour if you’re looking for a Kosovo day tour from Skopje!
