Description

We start our journey from Tirana & Durresi to Lin & Lake Ohrid, one of the most enticing destinations in North Macedonia, considered one of the oldest human settlements in all of Europe. Lin this tiny lakeside village on the eastern border of Albania is one of the best hidden gems of the entire Balkans region. The town of Lin is geographically blessed and located on the shore of one of the most stunning lakes in the entire world.It's a perfect start to our adventure. The city of Ohrid and Lake Ohrid have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1980. Lake Ohrid and its surroundings are inhabited by the Illyrian tribe of Enkelej. The lake was named by the Romans as 'Lyhnidas' (Lake of Light). We will visit the famous view of the church of Saint John, the church of Saint Nicholas and the Halveti Hayati Teqe mosque. Ohrid became an important center for Orthodox believers during the Byzantine Empire and is famous for its 365 Orthodox churches, said to have one for every day of the year. During the Ottoman Empire the city grew in the hills and surrounding lakeside areas. The houses were built with a very specific architecture that created narrow streets, tunnels and small courtyards in the hilly terrain, making it possible for each house to have a good view of the lake. Today the city is famous for its architecture, churches, castle on top of the city, amphitheater, beautiful view of the lake surrounded by mountains and pearls from the lake. Also you can find some relaxing time by swimming in the crystal waters of Lake Ohrid or take the opportunity to enjoy a scenic boat ride along its breathtaking shoreline. After this unique experience, we return to Tirana.
