Overview

This tour starts by picking up the guests from the hotel, and transport to Kumanovo which is a 50 minutes ride from Skopje. We start the tour from a local restaurant, riding on asphalt road. Our first stop is Church of Saint George from XI century, famous by the architecture and fresco painting. After this visit, we continue to ride to Kokino, passing by few villages on our way. When we arrive in Kokino, we will have a view of the 4th oldest megalithic observatory in the world, according to NASA. We can see and take a seat in the special stone markers used to track the movement of the Sun and Moon on the eastern horizon. Four stone seats or "thrones" are placed in a row on the lower platform. The observatory used the method of stationary observation, marking positions of the Sun at the winter and summer solstice, as well as the equinox.

After we finish view of the observatory, we return to our starting point for lunch in the local restaurant.
