Ohrid The Lake Town

Ohrid is one of the most beautiful town in the whole world.
It’s at the heart of the Balkans, with one of the deepest and oldest lakes in Europe, with more than 200 endemic species. The trout is the most famous of all the fish in the Lake, and also is the most famous dish in the restaurant - the Ohrid trout.

The weather in Ohrid it’s really nice, especially in spring when the colors come to life, with the beautiful green trees, and divine blue skies overflowing with the blue waters of the beautiful Lake.

One of the best places in Ohrid, where you can really experience the great nature treasures that the town poses, are St.John Kaneo, a church built in the 13th century with one of the most fascinating views. Not far from there through the forest you go deep and then at the highest point of the Ohrid Old Town, where are the basics of the town’s history, such as Plaosnik and Church of Saints Clement and Panteleimon, one of the most archaeological sites and one of the holiest places in the town. 250 meters further you are at the front step of the Castle, the Samuil’s Fortress, one of the main tourist attractions.
Not to forget to mention, St.Kliment Ohrid University, the first university in Europe and one of the most significant historical figures of the Slavic world.

In this kind of natural beauty I must mention the St. Naum Ohrid Church which is set on the other side of the town, on the border with Albania. Every tourist that goes there is being told that this place is one of the holiest places on Earth, and has different kinds of energy and I couldn’t agree more. It's a different dimension, different experience.

Also, if you ever have the chance, I strongly recommend to visit the most peaceful place, St.Zaum, a beach, a church set at the foot of the mountain Galicica, between Trpejca and Ljubanista. You can go there only with a boat, from Trpejca or Ljubanista, you can camp there and recharge your batteries to the fullest. I guarantee you it will be your favourite place in Ohrid.
At night seeing the beautiful sky full of stars above Ohrid, in the morning listening to nightingales singing to you, drinking your first cup of coffee by the lake with your feet in the water, and drinking from the cleanest water source directly from the mountain.

Not to forget to mention, Ohrid has the most beautiful sunset in the whole world. Period.
Once in a lifetime experience.

For such a small town there is so much to see and experience, but for many more things connected with Ohrid in some other time.
