Lychnidos - City of Light 🇲🇰

Ohrid is a city in the southwestern part of Macedonia, on the northeast coast of Ohrid Lake. Due to the large number of churches and monasteries, the city of Ohrid is known as Balkan and European Jerusalem. It is also known as the "City of Light", a literal translation of its old name, Lychnidos. Lake Ohrid is one of the oldest lakes in the world. North Macedonia's side of Lake Ohrid was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, with the site being extended to also include the cultural and historic area of Ohrid in 1980. #ohrid #northmacedonia #lakeohrid #unescoworldheritage #travel
