You will never be bored hereOur location
Our b&b is located in the village of Dolno Dupeni in North Macedonia, which is easy to reach from Skopje (3 hours), Ohrid (1 hour 15 mins), Bitola (50 mins) or any of the major cities in the nearby countries, such as Thessaloniki and Kastoria in Greece (via Medzitlija-Niki border crossing) or Tirana and Korce in Albania (via Struga-Kjafasan or Stenje-Gorica border crossings).
Important info if You arriving from Greece:
- The border crossing between Greece and North Macedonia at Markova Noga-Lemos is not open yet (opening is planned for 2027-28), so please bear in mind that the only way to reach Villa Prespa from Greece is to drive via Medzitlija-Niki border crossing near Bitola/Florina.
- Notice for the guests who arrive from Greece, with greek car rentals:
Cross-border travel to North Macedonia is permitted by select Greek companies like Enterprise, Greenmotion, Centauro, and AutoUnion, typically with a one-time fee (e.g., €60–€120 + VAT for Green Card coverage; please check the exact amount with the rental company).
You must request permission at booking or 7+ days in advance, inform the provider of your plans, and get written confirmation— greek border officials check for valid insurance proving coverage in North Macedonia.
Not all companies allow this insurance; many Greek rentals restrict non-EU borders like North Macedonia, so check terms during booking, so that You avoid unpleasant surprises at the Greek-Macedonian border crossings.
