Your day begins with pickup in Skopje, followed by a scenic drive to Ohrid. After arriving, you’ll explore the city on foot, taking in its rich history and beautiful surroundings. Walk along the shores of Lake Ohrid and wander through the old town, a UNESCO-listed area known for its cultural and historical significance.
As part of the tour, you’ll visit the Ohrid Ancient Theatre, one of the oldest in the region, before heading up to Samoil’s Fortress for panoramic views over the city and lake.
