Ohrid Excursion – A Journey to the Heart of the Balkans
Get ready for an unforgettable day as we take you on a journey to Ohrid, one of the Balkans’ most enchanting cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This full-day excursion will immerse you in breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and serene lakeside beauty, making it a must-visit destination for culture lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Our adventure begins as we leave Tirana, winding through picturesque routes where rolling hills, olive groves, and traditional villages create a stunning backdrop. As we approach Pogradec, the waters of Lake Ohrid, one of Europe’s oldest and deepest lakes, come into view—an awe-inspiring sight that sets the tone for the day ahead. Our first stop is Tushemisht, a charming lakeside village, followed by a peaceful retreat at Drilon National Park. Here, tranquil water channels, lush greenery, and graceful swans create an atmosphere of pure serenity.
Next, we cross into North Macedonia and make our way to the St. Naum Monastery, perched elegantly on the shores of Lake Ohrid. This stunning spiritual and historical landmark offers a chance to admire the breathtaking springs of the lake and soak in the peaceful surroundings. The Byzantine architecture of the monastery is a marvel, and the harmony of nature and history here is truly unforgettable.
After a delightful lunch at a lakeside restaurant, we head to Ohrid’s Old Town, where you’ll embark on a guided city tour. Explore the cobblestone streets, ancient churches, and panoramic viewpoints that offer stunning views of the lake. As you wander through the town, you’ll uncover centuries of history, impressive medieval architecture, and a cultural heritage so rich, it’s no wonder Ohrid is known as the “Jerusalem of the Balkans.”
As the day draws to a close, we retrace our scenic route back to Tirana, leaving you with cherished memories of North Macedonia’s stunning natural beauty and its deep cultural treasures.
