Just across the border in North Macedonia is a treasure trove of religious relics, crumbling castles and beautiful Byzantine architecture. Known as 'the Jerusalem of the Balkans', UNESCO-listed Ohrid is a fascinating city to explore.

Sitting serenely on the edge of a gleaming lake, Ohrid boasts Instagram-perfect locations at every turn. Arrive in the city, and you'll make a beeline for the old quarter for a guided tour. Stroll down cascading streets dotted with beautiful houses and gaze up at the hillside to see Tsar Samuel's Fortress, a medieval castle that looms above the town. With entrance tickets to this must-see landmark, you'll get a glimpse of Ohrid's strategic past as you explore the fortress walls and towers.

Another highlight is Plaosnik, where you'll find ruins of Ohrid's early Christian heritage. Don't miss the grand Church of St. Panteleimon, where you can spot the sarcophagus containing the remains of St. Kliment of Ohrid –one of the key figures in spreading Christianity throughout the Balkans. And, of course, the entire experience is framed by stunning panoramic views of Lake Ohrid below, making every step of the journey even more wow.
