Maybe our visit was too early in the season, mid May and the weather was very wet. The location is great, but the experience was poor. Very few staff to offer guidance. But the views and the wildlife were great More

This is just a very nice place. It is more than just a monastery with the grave of a saint and some peacocks...there is also a nice market which gives you a good idea about life in this country. More

This was amazing. Between the peacocks, the monks, and the buildings on the water, this is worth the trip to Macedonia. There isn't a lot to do, but there is a lot to see. More

GO THERE!! It's the best place around Ohrid. Plan to stay there at least half day. Even though is not so far from the city, because of the bad and curved road it takes about 45 minutes to reach the place.
