    [description] => 
The Republic of North Macedonia is the most southerly of the six republics that together comprised the former Yugoslavia, and one of Europe’s best destinations for butterflies. Our tour is timed to coincide with peak butterfly season and by visiting two contrasting localities, we hope to maximise our sightings. After a flight to the capital, Skopje, we drive south to Bitoli, situated at the foot of the impressive Baba Mountains. From here we will explore a wide range of altitudes in the Pellister National Park and on the Galicica Plateau in search of butterflies including Balkan Fritillary, Esper’s Marbled White, Balkan Copper and Grey Asian Grayling. Birds to look out for include Eastern Bonelli's Warbler, Rock Bunting and Black-eared Wheatear. For the second half of the holiday, we will move to the historic town of Kavadarci, our base for three nights. Here we will explore the surrounding lowland habitats of the Vardar Valley in search of a wonderful range of fritillaries, skippers, blues and other Lepidoptera as well as enjoying the eagles, warblers and other birdlife around us.

Tell me about North Macedonia …


The most southerly of the six republics that were previously part of Yugoslavia, the Republic of North Macedonia declared its independence in 1991. A landlocked country in the heart of the Balkans, North Macedonia has a rich history, having been in turns occupied and ruled by Alexander the Great, Romans, Greeks, Ottomans and Slavs, to name a few!




A central valley runs through the middle of North Macedonia, formed by the Vardar River; to either side lie mountains. North Macedonia has three national parks and a relatively rich fauna and flora for a country that is smaller than Belgium.

Although the Republic of North Macedonia is largely unknown to those of us in western Europe with an interest in natural history, it is an extremely rich and exciting wildlife destination. The most southerly of the six republics that were previously a part of Yugoslavia, North Macedonia boasts an impressive variety of habitats and scenery, from the high, forested peaks of the Baba Mountains to the hot, rolling plains of Pelagonia. This hidden jewel of the Balkans is also one of Europe’s very best destinations for butterflies. To date, over 200 species have been recorded in this small, land-locked country and we can expect to see around half of these on this pioneering tour, as well as an exciting diversity of birds and other wildlife. Our holiday is timed to coincide with the peak butterfly season — a time when the mountains should be clear of snow and full of the higher altitude species, yet before the heat of the lowlands really kicks in. Highlights will be many and varied, but may include such delights as Balkan Fritillary, Macedonian Grayling, Grecian Copper, Little Tiger Blue, Russian Heath, Balkan Marbled White and Lattice Brown.


We begin our holiday with a flight to Skopje, North Macedonia’s capital city, from where we head south to Bitola, a journey of about three hours. Set at the foot of the Baba Mountains, which rise to nearly 2,500 metres, Bitola will be our base for our first four nights as we focus our attention on the upland wildlife of the Pelister National Park and Galicica Plateau. The region’s excellent network of roads and tracks will allow us to explore a range of altitudes from the forested lower slopes of the mountains to heights of 1,500 metres. Here, far above the tree-line, the scenery is spectacular and we can look down upon Lakes Ohrid and Prespa, the two largest natural lakes in the Balkans. At this altitude the alpine meadows should still be awash with a colourful display of rare plants including Asphodeline liburnica, Silene longiflora, Viola orphanidis, Greek Hellebore (Heleborus cyclophyllus) and Rindera graeca. Such a wide range of altitudes will offer us a wonderful variety of butterflies, amongst them Powdered Brimstone, Eastern Wood White, Esper’s Marbled White, Balkan Copper, Ripart’s Anomalous Blue, Eastern Short-tailed Blue, Great Sooty Satyr, Balkan Fritillary, Freyer’s Fritillary and Yellow-banded Skipper. This is also one of the few places in Europe where Grey Asian Grayling can be found during the summer months. Birds to look for include Eastern Bonelli’s Warbler, Syrian Woodpecker, Black-eared Wheatear, Alpine Accentor, Rock Bunting and Water Pipit, and we must ensure that our eyes are turned skyward from time to time in case a Golden Eagle should drift by.


During our time in the mountains we will take a short break from the butterflies, birds and other wildlife to visit the small historic town of Ohrid, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set on the shores of the lake with the same name. For the second half of our holiday, we will move to the historic town of Kavadarci where we will be based for our final three nights. During our time here we will explore the lowland habitats in the vicinity of the beautiful Vardar Valley: the dry limestone hills bisected by the Babuna, Demir Kapija and other gorges … and the rough fields, pastures and wooded river valleys that provide a mosaic of habitats rich in butterflies, birds and other wildlife. Typical butterflies include Tufted Marbled Skipper, Zephr and Chapman’s Blues, Southern Comma, Delattin’s Grayling, Twinspot and Marbled Fritillaries, and Lesser Purple Emperor. There is also the chance of a late Eastern Festoon! The birdlife is equally diverse and, with colourful Beeeaters hawking for insects overhead and Woodchat Shrikes and Rollers adorning roadside wires, we will be looking out for Black Stork, Griffon Vulture, Eastern Imperial Eagle, Booted Eagle, Rock Thrush, Subalpine Warbler, Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, Black-headed Bunting and such east European specialities as Masked Shrike, Levant Sparrowhawk, Western Rock Nuthatch and Olive-tree Warbler. There will also be the opportunity to learn about North Macedonia’s fascinating history with a visit to the ancient Roman ruins of Stobi, the best preserved archaeological site in the country.


Finally, we must return to Skopje where we say farewell to this beautiful, unspoiled corner of the Balkans and embark on our journey home.

Summary

Although the Republic of North Macedonia is largely unknown to those of us in western Europe with an interest in natural history, it is an extremely rich and exciting wildlife destination. The most southerly of the six republics that were previously a part of Yugoslavia, North Macedonia boasts an impressive variety of habitats and scenery, from the high, forested peaks of the Baba Mountains to the hot, rolling plains of Pelagonia. This hidden jewel of the Balkans is also one of Europe’s very best destinations for butterflies. To date, over 200 species have been recorded in this small, land-locked country and we can expect to see around half of these on this pioneering tour, as well as an exciting diversity of birds and other wildlife. Our holiday is timed to coincide with the peak butterfly season — a time when the mountains should be clear of snow and full of the higher altitude species, yet before the heat of the lowlands really kicks in. Highlights will be many and varied, but may include such delights as Balkan Fritillary, Macedonian Grayling, Grecian Copper, Little Tiger Blue, Russian Heath, Balkan Marbled White and Lattice Brown.

We begin our holiday with a flight to Skopje, North Macedonia’s capital city, from where we head south to Bitola, a journey of about three hours. Set at the foot of the Baba Mountains, which rise to nearly 2,500 metres, Bitola will be our base for our first four nights as we focus our attention on the upland wildlife of the Pelister National Park and Galicica Plateau. The region’s excellent network of roads and tracks will allow us to explore a range of altitudes from the forested lower slopes of the mountains to heights of 1,500 metres. Here, far above the tree-line, the scenery is spectacular and we can look down upon Lakes Ohrid and Prespa, the two largest natural lakes in the Balkans. At this altitude the alpine meadows should still be awash with a colourful display of rare plants including Asphodeline liburnica, Silene longiflora, Viola orphanidis, Greek Hellebore (Heleborus cyclophyllus) and Rindera graeca. Such a wide range of altitudes will offer us a wonderful variety of butterflies, amongst them Powdered Brimstone, Eastern Wood White, Esper’s Marbled White, Balkan Copper, Ripart’s Anomalous Blue, Eastern Short-tailed Blue, Great Sooty Satyr, Balkan Fritillary, Freyer’s Fritillary and Yellow-banded Skipper. This is also one of the few places in Europe where Grey Asian Grayling can be found during the summer months. Birds to look for include Eastern Bonelli’s Warbler, Syrian Woodpecker, Black-eared Wheatear, Alpine Accentor, Rock Bunting and Water Pipit, and we must ensure that our eyes are turned skyward from time to time in case a Golden Eagle should drift by.

During our time in the mountains we will take a short break from the butterflies, birds and other wildlife to visit the small historic town of Ohrid, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set on the shores of the lake with the same name. For the second half of our holiday, we will move to the historic town of Kavadarci where we will be based for our final three nights. During our time here we will explore the lowland habitats in the vicinity of the beautiful Vardar Valley: the dry limestone hills bisected by the Babuna, Demir Kapija and other gorges … and the rough fields, pastures and wooded river valleys that provide a mosaic of habitats rich in butterflies, birds and other wildlife. Typical butterflies include Tufted Marbled Skipper, Zephr and Chapman’s Blues, Southern Comma, Delattin’s Grayling, Twinspot and Marbled Fritillaries, and Lesser Purple Emperor. There is also the chance of a late Eastern Festoon! The birdlife is equally diverse and, with colourful Beeeaters hawking for insects overhead and Woodchat Shrikes and Rollers adorning roadside wires, we will be looking out for Black Stork, Griffon Vulture, Eastern Imperial Eagle, Booted Eagle, Rock Thrush, Subalpine Warbler, Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, Black-headed Bunting and such east European specialities as Masked Shrike, Levant Sparrowhawk, Western Rock Nuthatch and Olive-tree Warbler. There will also be the opportunity to learn about North Macedonia’s fascinating history with a visit to the ancient Roman ruins of Stobi, the best preserved archaeological site in the country.

Finally, we must return to Skopje where we say farewell to this beautiful, unspoiled corner of the Balkans and embark on our journey home.

The trip surpassed all my expectations - the abundance of butterfly species was thrilling, the range of birds extraordinary, the friendly groups, the local feasts Slave organised for us, the trip to the alpine meadows, swim in the glacier lakes, and the array of outstanding landscapes and habitats.

D.C., Berkshire, June 25, Jul 2025

A wonderful week, spent in the company of two very knowledgeable local guides, staying at two locations and enjoying some wonderful food (especially lunches). All the sites we visited were packed with different species of butterflies and birds, proving that the country truly is a natural haven for all wildlife. It was an excellently planned and organised tour, with lots of variety in habitats and local restaurants, giving everyone a memorable experience and an extremely pleasant introduction to the country of North Macedonia.
