Things to do in Ohrid

Lake Ohrid, nestled on the border of North Macedonia and Albania, is a crystal-clear jewel hidden deep within the Balkans. It has existed quietly for millions of years, its waters so clear that you can see the native fish swimming at the bottom. Surrounded by verdant mountains and dotted with charming old towns, it is a renowned tourist destination that combines natural beauty with rich cultural heritage.

The ancient city of Ohrid in North Macedonia is not big, and Byzantine churches can be seen everywhere. You can spend half a day strolling around the ancient city, which is very quiet and simple.

The Monastery of Saint Raum in Ohrid is an ancient monastery with a thousand-year history on the seaside. It is a monastery built entirely of stone, with an orange-red tile roof that is very conspicuous. The decoration inside the monastery is very simple, with a strong historical flavor, and it is definitely worth going in to appreciate.
