Passing through the western part of Macedonia in less than 3 hours drive and with one coffee stop, you will arrive in Ohrid. Start with a walking tour of Ohrid with our experienced local guide. Expect 2-3 hours of light walking. Because of the religious importance and its numerous churches and monasteries, Ohrid is famous as the “Macedonian Jerusalem”.

Do not miss taking a scenic picture from Ohrid fortress. Other stops and highlights on the tour include a visit to the remains of the first Slavic university in the Balkans, a visit inside the recently rebuild Church of St Clement (entrance fee included), passing by the unique church of St. John - Kaneo, a boat ride from Kaneo with a panoramic view of Old town (included in the price) and finally, a visit to the cathedral church from 10th century, St. Sofia (inside, entrance fee included). Afterward, have lunch at any of the many traditional restaurants by Ohrid lake (optional).

In the afternoon, we'll have a light drive along the lake coast to visit another pearl located on the south part of the lake, the St. Naum monastery complex (inside, entrance fee included), with its unique church, originally built by St. Naum in the 9th century.
