Description

Ohrid Excursion – Embark on a fascinating journey to Ohrid, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most enchanting cities in the Balkans. This full-day excursion takes you through breathtaking landscapes, historical sites, and serene lakeside settings, making it a must-visit experience for culture and nature lovers alike.

As we leave Tirana, the journey unfolds along a picturesque route, where rolling hills, olive groves, and traditional villages create a stunning backdrop. As we head toward Pogradec, enjoy panoramic views of Lake Ohrid, one of Europe’s oldest and deepest lakes, shimmering in the distance. Passing through Tushemisht, a charming lakefront village, we stop at Drilon National Park, where tranquil water channels, lush greenery, and swans gliding across the water create a peaceful retreat.

From there, we cross into North Macedonia and continue to St. Naum Monastery, a stunning historical and spiritual landmark perched on the shores of Lake Ohrid. Discover the springs of Ohrid Lake, admire the monastery’s Byzantine architecture, and soak in the tranquil surroundings, where the blend of nature and history creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

After a break for lunch at a lakeside restaurant, the journey continues to Ohrid’s Old Town, where you’ll embark on a guided city tour. Explore cobblestone streets, ancient churches, and panoramic viewpoints, offering stunning views over the lake. As you walk through the town, you’ll uncover centuries of history, impressive medieval architecture, and a deep cultural heritage that has earned Ohrid its title as the “Jerusalem of the Balkans.”

As the day winds down, we’ll return to Tirana, retracing our scenic route through Albania’s breathtaking countryside, leaving you with lasting memories of North Macedonia’s cultural and natural treasures.
