A pearl on the lake taking its name, Ohrid is more than just a fancy tourist spot in Macedonia: it is rich in history, beautifully located, offers some great places to relax on the lake, and has marvellous sunsets.
The entrance gate is notably impressive, but work is still going on inside and the main attraction, after you climb the stairs to the top of the fortified walls, is the great views over Ohrid, Lake Ohrid, and the surrounding area. Further down, we found access to the remains of one of the oldest churches of Ohrid closed for reconstruction, and instead visited the completely rebuilt Sveti Klementi and Pantelejmon church, and saw the 5th century mosaics. Continuing our way towards the lake, we came across the most famous Orthodox church of Ohrid: Sveti Jovan Kaneo, or Saint John at Kaneo. Dramatically located on a rocky outcrop towering above the surface of Lake Ohrid, it probably has become the best known sight of Macedonia. Built just before the Ottomans invaded, the church offers some original frescoes and icons inside. But the exterior, with small gardens with flowers, is its main draw. It is especially beautiful at sunset and sunrise, when the tranquil lake forms the perfect backdrop of a serene place.
