Description - What to expect

Start your Ohrid tour with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Durrës or Tirana, and drive to the charming city of Ohrid for a fully guided tour. Start with a visit to the beautiful Church of Saint Sophia. Then visit the National Workshop for a handmade paper-making demonstration.

Then, visit Samuil’s Fortress and walk along its historic 4th-century walls. Admire the Ancient Theatre of Ohrid built in Hellenistic style and walk up to the cliff-top church of Saint John at Kaneo for panoramic views of the lake and the mountains that surround it.
