The city of Ohrid has quite a long history to offer. Located next to one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe, this place so called "The pearl of the Balkan" will astonish you with its amazing breathtaking views. Throughout the centuries,
Ohrid has witnessed the taste of Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the Byzantineculture, the Ottoman Empire, but most of all, the influence of the Slavic migration, which is still present today.
I will take you to the heart of the city, where you will see the fortress of the Tsar Samuel from the XI century. From there, you will have the best view of one of the largest and clearest natural tectonic lakes in Europe, the lake of Ohrid.
Furthermore, I will take you to the oldest spot in the old city so far - the ancient theatre from the 2nd century B.C. We will continue through the narrow streets where I will present to you 2 unique workshops for handmade paper and handmade woodcrafts.
I will show you the famous Ohrid pearl and will tell you the secret how it's made. It is going to be one unforgettable experience!
Escape the crowded tourist paths and immerse yourself in the living history of Lake Ohrid. This journey is designed for those who want to understand the soul of Macedonia’s most beautiful city, following the literal line where the deep blue lake meets the weathered stones of the Old Town.
We begin at the lively Ohrid Square, but quickly dive into the narrow, winding alleys that hold the city’s true character. You’ll stand before the Robevci House, a masterpiece of Ottoman design, where I will reveal the architectural 'magic' that allowed these houses to grow wider as they rose toward the sun.
Unlike generic tours, we pause for an exclusive demonstration at the National Workshop for Handmade Paper. Here, you’ll witness history in motion on a replica of the original Gutenberg Press—one of only two in the world.
As the scent of the lake breeze follows us, we climb toward the Ancient Theatre and the Church of St. Sophia, the historical throne of the Archbishopric. We conclude our journey at the iconic St. John at Kaneo, perched on a cliff where the water and sky become one—the perfect final view of the city’s ancient beauty.
The Blue Horizon: Discover the "photographer’s secret" viewpoints where the lake perfectly frames medieval Byzantine churches.
Gutenberg’s Legacy: Witness a live demonstration of 2nd-century paper-making on a world-famous replica press.
Architectural Riddles: Learn the hidden structural secrets behind the unique "stepped" houses of the Macedonian National Revival.
