Ohrid – A Journey Through Time, Nature, and Flavor

Discover Ohrid, the shining jewel of North Macedonia and a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. Set against the backdrop of shimmering Lake Ohrid and surrounded by mountain peaks, this destination is a perfect blend of history, culture, spirituality, and natural beauty.

Stroll through cobblestone streets where every corner tells a story — from the statue of St. Kliment and the medieval Church of St. Sofia to the ancient amphitheater and the breathtaking cliffside Church of St. John Kaneo. Explore Plaošnik, with its mosaics and archaeological treasures, and feel centuries of history come alive as your guide shares the city’s most fascinating tales.

Beyond the city, experience Ohrid’s peaceful side: cruise the lake to visit the remarkable Bay of Bones, admire the springs of Crn Drim, and explore St. Naum Monastery where legend says you can still hear the saint’s heartbeat. Taste the soul of the region during an intimate winery visit, sampling award-winning Macedonian wines paired with local delicacies in a serene monastery setting.

For a deeper dive into local life, visit Struga — the “City of Poetry” — and discover the hidden cave churches of Kalishta and Radožda before marveling at the natural springs of Vevčani, tucked high in the Jablanica mountains.

Ohrid offers more than just sightseeing — it’s a full sensory experience where history, spirituality, and hospitality meet. Whether you’re chasing sunsets over the lake, uncovering ancient secrets, or toasting with a glass of local wine, Ohrid promises a journey you’ll never forget.
