The journey then leads toward St. Naum, one of the most iconic destinations on Lake Ohrid, located just across the border in North Macedonia. Here, you will visit the historic Monastery of St. Naum and explore the breathtaking water springs, where underground sources create a peaceful and picturesque landscape. Depending on timing, there will be free time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings.
