A view of Lake Ohrid

Lake Ohrid is probably the most popular destination in Macedonia with locals and tourists alike. The city of Ohrid is notable for once having had 365 churches, one for each day of the year, and has been referred to as a “Jerusalem (of the Balkans)”.  Today there are still many old churches such as St John at Kaneo, built sometime in the 13th century and perched on a ledge overlooking the lake.
