Details about this trip
Let's explore North Macedonia together - it will be my first time as well! On our trip to Ohrid, we'll explore the stunning lakeside views and visit the ancient churches and monasteries that make the city a UNESCO World Heritage site. One highlight will be taking a traditional Macedonian cooking class, where we'll learn to prepare local dishes. We'll also enjoy a relaxing boat ride on Lake Ohrid and stroll through the charming Old Town filled with local crafts and history.

About me: I’m Kathi, 28 years old, and born in Austria. I already organized many JoinMyTrip group trips, and it was always a lot of fun! Traveling is my passion and I truly enjoy planning trips. You can find all my trips when you click on my profile. Or read more about me here: https://www.joinmytrip.com/en/t/tripleader/kathichristalon.

Accommodation: Our accommodation will be a hotel and rooms will be shared with one other TripMate. We will also have breakfast included in our stay. If you prefer a private room, let me know, I will try my best to arrange it for a slightly higher price. Feel free to ask all your questions in the Q&A section - See you!

Today we enjoy the water: you can go stand‑up paddleboarding or kayaking on Lake Ohrid. If you’re up for adrenalin, consider paragliding over Lake Ohrid and Galicica Mountain! The promenade stretches along the lake with charming cafés and ice cream spots. It’s perfect for an easy stroll with spectacular views and people watching. We will finish the day with a sunset drink at a rooftop bar!
