OHRID

Ohrid is a town located in the southwestern part of the Republic of Macedonia and is host to one of the largest and most important natural aquariums in the world – the Lake of Ohrid. It is accepted as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980 and is home to unique and endemic flora and fauna with many relict living forms that make the lake a real ”natural museum of living fossils“, one of the most significant natural sites in Europe and the world.

The capital of the Samoil’s kingdom in the 10th-11th century, it has remained a cultural, educational, and artistic center for centuries. A city of old, traditional, and urban Macedonian architecture, the houses in Ohrid are arranged in the form of an amphitheater, ascending the slopes of hills by narrow winding streets. Also notable for its religious buildings, it is the home of 365 churches, one for each day of the year, and is referred to as Macedonian Jerusalem, with many churches that still remain to this day.

A relatively small city that can be fully experienced in a short period of time, it remains a natural tourist attraction and is the home of numerous beaches and daily entertainment. So whether you enjoy cultural exploration or are just a fan of nature and leisure activities, it is a place for all to visit, experience, and fall in love with, at least once in their lifetime.
