I've been there in late summer, that means no tourists, just clean water, empty beaches, sun and friendly people. Very nice to chill out and peacefully enjoy the last bits of summer in marvellous nature... More

Liked: Around the lake was fantastic. We traveled by car all around the lake. The Albanian side was full of fishermen sellers. The FYROM side is much better and the road passes by the coast. There is a beauty forest next to the road and the view is superb. The Sveti Naum Monastery is a small paradise and the restaurant... More

Ohrid is known as the pearl of the Balkans and that's just right. Few places have the charm of this small city where you can find fun for all ages. Go to the beach, swim in the lake, have a boat trip, visit a couple of churches, walk around the lake, go to the cultural activities during the Ohrid Summer... More
