As a rule, those who meet Ohrid once, return to this city-museum, whose every church and chapel, fresco or icon is a rarity of inestimable value.
Lake Ohrid, often referred to as the Macedonian freshwater sea, is a story in itself. In the 9th and 10th centuries, Saints Clement and Nahum, students of Cyril and Methodius, worked here, so Ohrid is considered a center of Slavic literacy and culture and an artistic treasure of the Balkans.
According to one legend, the city was named after the position on the cliff "o hrid".
Lake Ohrid, but also the city of Ohrid, is surrounded by high mountains and at almost 700 meters you will have the illusion that you are at sea. At the very least, you will think that you are in a sea bay, and in fact you are on one of the largest and oldest European lakes, but also the deepest. Many people like to spend their holidays on Lake Ohrid, but also - for some, Ohrid is an indispensable point on the way to Greece. When Ohrid is mentioned, it refers to the city of Ohrid and the lake of the same name. The lake is divided between Albania and Macedonia, while the city is located on the northeast coast and is the seat of the Ohrid Archbishopric.
They say that there are 365 churches on it - one for each day of the year. Lake Ohrid in numbers stands like this: its area is 358.2 km2, it can be as deep as 289 m, and it is located at an altitude of 695 m, which is a health, primarily air oasis.
