Ohrid is a lakeside city that offers visitors a coastline ideal for swimming. Marvel at the immense Lake Ohrid and its pebble beaches, particularly on the Macedonian Riviera, Lin or Gorica coasts. The view of the large body of water is exceptional during sunset. It is even more breathtaking if you go to the side of the Church of Saint John of Kaneo, a monument built in the 13th century.
Ohrid is full of fabulous historical heritage. Strolling through the Old Town is a must, the latter being surrounded by fortifications. You will notice its imposing fortress at first glance. Also, take the time to appreciate its old alleys, period houses and shopping streets.
Leaving the lower town, you can explore the church of Saint Clement, nestled on one of Ohrid's two hills. This monument, built in 1295, houses frescoes restored in 1950 and several manuscripts in Slavic.
Also, do not miss exploring the Orthodox monastery of Sveti Naum, one of the symbolic sites of North Macedonia that stands out for its Byzantine architecture. You can visit the museum located there and stroll through its green space.
Samuel's fortress is also to be discovered in Ohrid. Impressive with its eighteen towers, fortified gates, sixteen-meter-high walls, and three-kilometer-long walls, this place offers an idyllic panorama of the lake and the Old Town. ◄
