Bigorski Monastery, Mavrovo - St. Nicholas & House of Miyaks
A perfect one-day taste of western Macedonia — the submerged Church of St. Nicholas on Mavrovo Lake, the magnificent Bigorski Monastery, and a long traditional lunch at the famous House of Miyaks.
This relaxed ~7-hour private tour takes you through Mavrovo National Park to two of Macedonia's most loved sights: the half-submerged Church of St. Nicholas rising from Mavrovo Lake, and the Monastery of St. John the Baptist — Bigorski, famous for its miraculous wood-carved iconostasis.
The highlight for many guests comes at the table: a traditional Miyak lunch at the House of Miyaks (Kukja na Mijacite), an authentic ethno-house celebrating the culture of the Miyak region — slow mountain food, beautiful architecture and real hospitality.
