Overview

From the capital, we are traveling to the main tourist attraction in Macedonia, the town of Ohrid. Ohrid lies on the shores of the oldest lake in Europe, Lake Ohrid. Everywhere in Ohrid, breathtaking views of the Lake will fill your eyes and cameras. Called the Jerusalem on The Balkans, Ohrid is the center from where Christianity was spread in these lands. We will continue to Bitola and visit Heraclea and the Bitola Museum. We will not miss the chance to have coffee or just enjoy the Shirok Sokak Street cafes.
