Ohrid, the Jerusalem of the Balkans
UNESCO, Northern Macedonia
Ohrid City Tour or “Jerusalem of the Balkans” is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the number of Byzantine Churches located in the town.
Ohrid City Tour
Ohrid is certainly the most suggestive location in the whole state of Northern Macedonia and one of the most beautiful in the Balkans. The city stands on the eastern shore of the lake that has the same name. Furthermore, one third of it is Albanian and two thirds Macedonian. It is one of the oldest lakes in Europe and certainly one of the clearest. Despite the many villages villages around the shore, the water is as transparent and as fine glass. In summer it is very crowded and in addition, you probably won’t enjoy the atmosphere . It is totally another story in low season. Surely a visit in this season helps to understand why UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site. By the way it is one of the few cases where it is both natural and cultural heritage. In addition to the clear waters, Ohrid is famous for the number of Byzantine churches: originally there were 365, one for each day of the year. For this reason it was known as the Jerusalem of the Balkans.
