Ohrid

Ohrid - Balkan Erusalim. In the past there were 365 churches and monasteries one for every day of the year. Ohrid is Macedonia's prime destination, with its atmospheric old quarter with beautiful churches along a graceful hill, topped by a medieval castle overlooking serene, 34km-long Lake Ohrid. Nearby, mountainous Galičica National Park offers pristine nature, while secluded beaches dot the lake's eastern shore.

Ohrid Lake is protected by UNESCO and is considered one of the oldest lakes in the world. Lake Ohrid is 300m deep and three million years old. Although usually calm, during storms Ohrid seethes with steely-grey white caps evoking the sea. Nearest airport is Ohrid airport "St. Paul the Apostle" . The airport is located 9 km from Ohrid and 145 km from Skopje, along the Ohrid-Kičevo-Skopje motorway. JK Travel provide transfers to Ohrid from Skopje and Thessaloniki airport.
