Itinéraire

Forteresse de Samoil
Marvel at the massive medieval walls of this hilltop fortress, built by Tsar Samuel in the 10th century and commanding sweeping views over Lake Ohrid and the surrounding mountains. This is where your journey begins, high above the town, with the full sweep of one of Europe's oldest cities laid out below you.

2
Église Saint-Clément d'Ohrid
Explore this deeply significant church built on the site where Saint Clement established one of the world's first universities in the 9th century. This is the spiritual heart of Macedonian Orthodox Christianity, where the Cyrillic alphabet was developed and a literary tradition that shaped an entire region was born.
0 minute
3
Ancient Macedonian Theatre of Ohrid
Walk through the ruins of this ancient open-air theatre, carved into the hillside during the Roman period and still used for live performances during summer festivals. Standing here, with the lake glittering in the distance, it is easy to understand why Ohrid has drawn artists and storytellers for thousands of years.
0 minute
4
Upper Gate of the Fortress
Pass through this ancient stone gateway, the main entrance to the old fortified city and one of the best-preserved sections of Ohrid's medieval defences. The views from here stretch across the rooftops of the old town all the way to the shimmering surface of the lake below.
0 minute
5
Church of Holy Mary Peryvleptos
Admire this beautifully preserved Byzantine church, its exterior modest but its interior decorated with some of the finest medieval frescoes in the Balkans. Built in the 13th century, it contains artwork so well preserved that it has influenced the study of Byzantine painting across the world.
0 minute
6
Church of Saint Nicholas of the Hospital (Bolnichki)
Stroll past this quietly striking church, known locally as Bolnichki, which once served as a place of healing as well as worship. Its frescoes and intimate scale make it one of the hidden gems of Ohrid's extraordinary concentration of medieval religious architecture.

Ohrid Boardwalk
Enjoy a leisurely walk along this celebrated lakeside promenade, where the calm waters of Lake Ohrid stretch out to the Albanian mountains on the far shore. This is where locals and visitors alike come to slow down, take in the views, and feel the unhurried rhythm of life in this UNESCO-listed town.
0 minute
8
Potpesh beach
Discover this small and sheltered pebble beach tucked along the lake's edge, offering a quiet pause between the tour's historic highlights. The clear turquoise waters of Lake Ohrid, one of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes, are at their most inviting here.
0 minute
9
Église Saint-Jean-le-Théologien
Marvel at this iconic 13th-century church perched dramatically on a cliff edge directly above the lake, its golden stone glowing against the blue water below. Few religious buildings anywhere in Europe enjoy such a breathtaking natural setting, and it remains an active place of worship to this day.
0 minute

Kaneo Viewpoint
Pause at this celebrated clifftop vantage point, where the Church of Kaneo, the lake, and the mountains beyond compose one of the most photographed scenes in the entire Balkans. This is where your tour reaches its emotional peak, and where the full meaning of Ohrid's title as the Pearl of the Balkans becomes clear.
