Ohrid Daily Excursion – A Journey to the Heart of the Balkans

Get ready for a truly unforgettable day as we take you to Ohrid, one of the most enchanting cities in the Balkans, known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and deep cultural roots. This full-day excursion from Durrës will guide you through Albania’s scenic landscapes, showcasing its diverse terrain and natural beauty before arriving in North Macedonia’s UNESCO World Heritage jewel—Ohrid.

As we leave the coastal charm of Durrës behind, the landscape transforms before your eyes. Rolling green hills, lush valleys, and quaint villages make way for the beauty of central Albania. The journey unfolds through vineyards and ancient ruins, offering a glimpse into Albania’s vibrant traditions and history. As we approach the border, the scenery grows even more dramatic, with towering mountains and winding roads leading to the sparkling blue waters of Lake Ohrid—a sight that signals the beginning of something extraordinary.

Our first stop is the serene St. Naum Monastery, a breathtaking landmark on the shores of Lake Ohrid. Known for its crystal-clear springs and peaceful atmosphere, the monastery offers a chance to unwind and take in the stunning views. Wander through its incredible architecture and enjoy a moment of tranquility by the water, before savoring a delicious lakeside lunch, where local flavors and panoramic views come together to create an unforgettable experience.

Next, we’ll explore the ancient charm of Ohrid’s Old Town. A guided city tour will take you through its cobblestone streets, past medieval churches, and to viewpoints that offer stunning views over the lake. As we explore iconic landmarks and delve into Ohrid’s centuries-old heritage, you’ll quickly understand why it’s often referred to as the “Jerusalem of the Balkans.”

As the sun begins to set, we’ll start our journey back to Durrës, making one last scenic stop to take in the breathtaking views of Albania’s countryside, leaving you with cherished memories of a day filled with history, culture, and natural beauty.
