Lake Ohrid
Lake Ohrid's surface is at an altitude of nearly 700 m, and it is surrounded by high mountains. The lake is deep and clear, like a giant sapphire embedded among the mountains. The deepest part of the lake basin is nearly 300 m, and on clear days, the water transparency can reach about 20 m. Overlooking from the hillsides or slowly cruising across the lake, one is often met with an endless expanse of blue, serene and pure. This attraction is not only beautiful but also possesses an extremely rich and unique ecosystem. The lake is home to hundreds of endemic species of flora and fauna, many of which are rarely seen elsewhere in the world, making this lake an important natural treasure trove for studying ancient freshwater ecosystems. Visiting the lakeside in summer, you can swim and play in the water at the quiet bay beaches, or take a boat cruise along the shore to enjoy the magnificent scenery where mountains and water meet.Ohrid · 51.7 km from Bitola
Ohrid
The ancient city is situated at Car Samoil and was built in the 2nd century BC. The city features numerous ancient buildings, including medieval churches, monasteries, frescoes, castles, and towers. It once had 365 churches (over 30 remain today), allowing people to visit a different church for worship every day, which earned it the name "Jerusalem of the Balkans." A 900-year-old towering Cinar tree also bears witness to the history of the ancient city. In 1980, Ohrid was added to the World Heritage List.Ohrid · 45.8 km from Bitola

Lake Ohrid, nestled on the border of North Macedonia and Albania, is a crystal-clear jewel hidden deep within the Balkans. It has existed quietly for millions of years, its waters so clear that you can see the native fish swimming at the bottom. Surrounded by verdant mountains and dotted with charming old towns, it is a renowned tourist destination that combines natural beauty with rich cultural heritage.

The old town of Ohrid is located on the seaside. The whole old town is built along the highlands and against the mountain. It looks very layered from a distance. There are many paths in the old town, and all kinds of shops are opened on both sides. It is really worth a walk in the old town to feel the different seaside style.
