Unveiling the Hidden Gems: Sermenin Village and Ethno House Sermeninski Chardak

Last weekend, our adventurous family of four had to return from camping in the scenic camping grounds of Chalkidiki, Greece due to some urgent work commitments on Monday. Strategically planning our journey, we decided to make our way back to Skopje on a Friday, wisely avoiding the bustling weekend border crowds during the peak of July. Thinking we had outsmarted the heatwave, we assumed that not many travelers would leave Greece on a scorching Friday, preferring to bask in the soothing coastal waters over the weekend. However, our assumptions were swiftly proven wrong as we found ourselves stuck in a seemingly endless line of cars, enduring 3.5 hours of the sweltering heat at the border crossing. Our hearts went out to the elderly, babies, and young children as ours, trapped in the cars, braving the oppressive temperatures. Finally passing the border, hungry and weary, we yearned for a respite. That’s when I recalled hearing about “Ethno House Sermeninski Chardak,” nestled in the village of Sermenin. This ethno retreat is gracefully perched on the slopes of Mount Kozuf, a mere 35-minute drive from the border, easily accessible via the asphalt road using GPT navigation.” As we approached the village, I immersed
