Trivia time

Did you know Skopje boasts a "Skopje Sea" that isn't actually by the sea? Lake Matka, located just outside the city, is often referred to as Skopje's Sea due to its size and beauty. Surrounded by lush mountains and offering opportunities for boat rides and exploring caves, it provides a peaceful escape from the city bustle and earns its "sea" title with its serene atmosphere.
