Tour Around the Lake Albania from Ohrid
Overview
This unique day tour invites you to discover a second country during your holiday in North-Macedonia, Albania (the once closed communistic country). Discover the striking differences and surprising similarities between these two Balkan countries.
Travel comfortably by bus or minibus as you enjoy a complete scenic tour around Lake Ohrid, one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe. Along the way, you’ll stop at iconic and charming locations including the Bay of Bones, Pogradec, Lin, and Drilon.
In Pogradec, enjoy free time to relax and have lunch at your own pace. In the picturesque village of Lin, take a coffee break and stroll through narrow streets lined with traditional houses.
For those who wish, there is an optional guided walk to the ancient Roman basilica—highly recommended for history lovers and photographers alike.
During the journey, you’ll also spot the famous concrete communist-era bunkers, silent reminders of Albania’s past, scattered across the landscape.
