From the capital, we are traveling to the main tourist attraction in Macedonia, the town of Ohrid. Ohrid lies on the shores of the oldest lake in Europe, Lake Ohrid. Everywhere in Ohrid, breathtaking views of the Lake will fill your eyes and cameras. Called the Jerusalem on The Balkans, Ohrid is the center from where Christianity was spread in these lands. We will continue to Bitola and visit Heraclea and the Bitola Museum. We will not miss the chance to have coffee or just enjoy the Shirok Sokak Street cafes.

Ancient Theatre of Ohrid
The constructors built this ancient theater between two hills which protected it from winds, and thus the ancient theater has incredible acoustics. Because of its acoustics, it is chosen as one of the main stages where the Ohrid Summer Festival takes place.
The fresco painting in this church represents some of the first works of the most prestigious medieval painters Michael and Eutychios. Their dramatic expressiveness was the basis of the new trend in Byzantine art from this epoch, called “The Renaissance of the Paleologues”, which was the last chapter of the Byzantine art. On the walls of this church, with extraordinary vitality, power, and obvious emotions, they have painted scenes from the life of the Mother of God and Jesus Christ.

Our guide was really excellent and professional, she explained us all the sights in detail and about the history and culture of the Macedonian people. She also gave us enough time in museums and churches and was available for further questions. She even guided us until 7 pm. A very interesting excursion to beautiful Ohrid which I can recommend!
