Airport transfers in North Macedonia
North Macedonia is a small, landlocked country with two international airports. Private transfers are popular because the drive between Skopje and Lake Ohrid takes around three hours and public transport is slow. Prices are usually quoted in euro, though local taxis may use denars (MKD, about 61.5 to €1).
Airports
- Skopje Airport (SKP) – the main airport, about 20 km east of Skopje
- Ohrid Airport (OHD) – seasonal and charter flights for Ohrid and Struga
Typical transfer prices
Skopje Airport to the city costs about €25–30, Skopje to Ohrid about €110–145 and Ohrid Airport to Ohrid about 1,200 MKD (€20). Matka Canyon is about €50 from Skopje.

Skopje is a good hub for the region. Fixed prices from Skopje include Pristina (Kosovo) €80–100, Thessaloniki and Sofia €150–200, Tirana €180–250 and Belgrade €250–360. From Ohrid, transfers to Tirana and Durrës in Albania cost about €90–120.
