Ohrid – The Sacred Lake City of the Balkans

Ohrid is known as the Sacred Lake City of the Balkans and is beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Ohrid, one of Europe’s oldest and deepest lakes. According to legend, the city houses 365 churches – one for each day of the year – making church visits a central part of the experience. The old town winds its way up the hills with cobblestone streets, historic houses, and panoramic views of the lake. Here, Byzantine heritage, Orthodox Christianity, and a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere merge. Whether you’re exploring icon-filled churches, enjoying views of the lake, or strolling through the old town, Ohrid feels like a living museum full of soul and tranquility.
