Lake ohrid will never disappointed us

I took a bus from skopje to ohrid, it cost 16 Euros.It took less than 4 hours to reach the ohrid main bus terminal, from there you can walk to lake ohrid for only 20 minutes. Lake Ohrid is famous for being beautiful, and is deep rooted in interesting history. As well as fishing, sailing, and exploring the beaches, there are plenty of historical buildings to explore along the shores. The crystal blue waters of Lake Ohrid are the heart and soul of this region. The lake provides food and transportation for many of the inhabitants of the town. One of our favorite things to do in Lake Ohrid was chartering a small submarine boat to take us from the Church of St. Jovan of Kaneo out onto the lake for views of the mountains and then back to town. This region needs to be appreciated from the water. Atop the ridge of a small peninsula jutting into the town is the fortress of Samuil. This hilltop has served host a fortification since the 3rd century BC. The current fortress built for Tsar Samuil dates from the 10th century. Visitors who climb the steep steps of the fortress walls are rewarded with stunning views of the town, the lake, and the surrounding mountains. My favourite cafe is located just outside the fortress. The views from the cafe is magnificent. Foods and drinks are not expensive as well. 📍Address:
