One of Europe’s oldest lakes, Byzantine churches and summer swims.

Ohrid is a UNESCO-listed town of Byzantine churches and icons above a clear, ancient lake. The Church of St John at Kaneo stands on a cliff above the water, boats visit the springs at St Naum, and prices are among the lowest in Europe.
