Day 1: Pristina – Gracanica – Ulpjana – Gadima Cave – Prizren – Pristina (4.1 Hours driving time)

After early breakfast we drive to the beautiful Gracanica Orthodox Monastery located a few miles southeast of Pristina. Founded in 1321 Gracanica was commissioned by King Stefan Milutin and it was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, while in 13 July 2006 it was placed on the UNESCO's World Heritage List. Just a short drive south is the archaeological site of Ulpiana, the capital of Dardania, an Illyrian kingdom pre-dating the Romans as it was mentioned by Strabo an ancient Greek author. However it flourished under the Roman Empire and was mentioned as a glorious city “Urb Splendisima”. Ulpiana suffered numerous attacks from barbarian tribes and earthquakes. Emperor Justinian rebuilt it and called it “Justiniana Secunda”. After these visits will continue in the direction of Gadima Cave, a karst limestone cave also known as Marble Cave. It was discovered by chance by a villager cutting stone in 1966 and remains largely unexplored.Then proceed through the beautiful Sharr Mountains to reach Prizren the second largest city in Kosovo, where we visit: the Sinan Pasha mosque build in 17 century, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour and the 14th century Orthodox Church of “Our Lady of Ljevis” decorated with beautiful frescoes, part of the UNESCO list of protected Medieval Monuments of Kosovo.
