About Ohrid for Solo Travelers

The Jerusalem of the Balkans — a small, ancient city on Europe's deepest lake, where Byzantine frescoes fill cave churches, Ottoman mosques stand beside Orthodox monasteries, and the crystal-clear lake water offers the finest swimming in the region. Ohrid is one of Europe's most atmospheric UNESCO sites and one of its most affordable summer destinations.
