Highlights
  • Marble Cave - Gadime Cave - The entry fee is 2 Euros per person, and 1 Euro for children. An English-speaking local guide is available. If it’s crowded, our guide will assist. Ongoing works are currently in progress. The cave is rich in stalactites and stalagmites. Known as Gadime Cave, this karstic limestone cave is located in the village of Gadime e Ulët, near the municipality of Lipjan in Kosovo. Much of the cave remains unexplored. It was discovered in 1966 by a villager named Ahmet Asllani while working in his garden. Gadime Cave is situated within marble limestones from the Mesozoic era. Over time, tectonic shifts and erosion have caused the marble to crack. The cave’s total length is 1,260 meters, and it covers an area of 56.25 hectares.

  • Gracanica Monastery - The next stop is one of the finest Orthodox churches in the Balkans. The Monastery of Gracanica is a stunning example of Serbian medieval architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The custos is very knowledgeable, providing a factual account of the monastery’s architecture, history, and fresco paintings. There is no entry fee.

  • Pristina - The next stop is Pristina, the capital and largest city of Kosovo. It serves as the administrative center of the municipality and district of the same name. We offer a walking tour through the city, visiting notable spots such as:

It is located on the banks of the Bistrica River, between the foothills of the Sharr Mountains in southern Kosovo. Prizren has an oceanic climate influenced by the surrounding mountains.

Excellent tour guide , with expert knowledge, thoroughly recommend. - I did 3 tours with Jordan whilst staying in Skopje. All of them extremely enjoyable. Jordan tailored the tours to exactly what I needed. First trip was to local canyon, followed by Kosovo and one to lake Ohrid in the south of North Macedonia. His knowledge of all areas was impressive and made the trips even better , to go along with the stunning scenery.

Amazing tour with a wonderful guide - Jordan is one of the most friendly and knowledgeable guides I have had the pleasure to come accross. He planned a custom itenirary for my wife and I based on our requirements for the trip (in our case, culturally rich locations and great photo spots) which we enjoyed immensely. Our favorite thing about the tour was the flexibility and freedom of the tour as not once did we feel rushed by Jordan and that allowed us to enjoy Kosovo to the fullest. I could not recommend this tour enough as his knowledge about the balkans was extremely impressive and made us feel very engaged with the history of the countries.
