Description

️ 1. Ancient Theatre of Ohrid We begin our tour with a visit to the Ancient Theatre of Ohrid, built in 200 BC during the Hellenistic period. It is the only theatre of its kind in North Macedonia. Nestled between two hills, its location provides excellent acoustics and natural shelter from the wind—ideal for performances in ancient times. ⛪ 2. Church of St. John at Kaneo Perched dramatically above Kaneo Beach, the Church of St. John the Theologian is one of the most iconic sites in Ohrid. It is dedicated to John of Patmos, the author of Revelation, and believed by many to be the Apostle John himself. ▶️ Pass by Saint Sofia Church On the way back from Kaneo, we pass by the Church of Saint Sofia, a stunning example of Byzantine architecture, known for its well-preserved frescoes dating back to the 11th century. ️ Optional Boat Ride (€10 per person) From Kaneo, guests have the option to take a short boat ride back to Ohrid City Center, offering a scenic perspective of the lakeshore and historic skyline. ️ 3. Ohrid Old Town & Bazaar We continue exploring the Old Town and the vibrant Bazaar, where cobblestone streets, Ottoman-era houses, and local artisan shops reflect the city's rich multicultural past. Ohrid was once known as Lyhnidas, meaning “shining gemstone” in Latin. ️ 4. Bay of Bones (10-minute photo stop) We make a short stop at the Bay of Bones, an open-air museum built over Lake Ohrid, recreating a prehistoric stilt village from the Bronze and Iron Ages—an excellent place for a photo and a quick walk around the platform. ⛪ 5. Monastery of Sveti Naum We then visit the impressive Monastery of Saint Naum, founded in the 9th century. The monastery holds the tomb of Saint Naum and is considered a sacred site by Orthodox Christians. From 1912 to 1925, this area was part of Albania before returning to Yugoslavia. 6. Drilon National Park (30-minute stop) Back on the Albanian side, we stop at the serene Drilon National Park, famous for its spring-fed ponds, swans, shaded walkways, and natural beauty. A great spot to relax and take photos. ️ 7. Tushemisht Village & Traditional Lunch Our final stop is Tushemisht, a peaceful lakeside village in Albania with a deep connection to the Orthodox tradition. Here, we enjoy a delicious lunch by Lake Ohrid, with the chance to try the rare and delicious Koran fish, a unique trout species found only in this lake.
