Ohrid, Macedonia

In August 2015 I have visited Ohrid in Macedonia. I would suggest everyone to visit Ohrid if you are looking for low priced holiday in a beautiful country.

Although Ohrid is relatively unknown for the basic tourists, Ohrid is the most popular destination within Macedonia. Sublime 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. Lake Ohrid, 300m deep and three million years old, shared by Macedonia (two-thirds) and Albania (one-third), is among Europe's deepest and oldest. Although usually calm, during storms Ohrid seethes with steely-grey whitecaps evoking the sea.

When you are staying at a hotel outside the city centre, like I did, than you reach the city centre by using the bus. The bus is relatively cheap (€0,50 one way) and stops everywhere you want, you just have to get up from your seat. Taxi’s are also available in and around Ohrid and are low priced as well.
