Enjoy a known and beloved excursion starting from the harbor of Ohrid. The boat on calm lake water will take you to the Island of Saint Naum. The wonderful view along the road is full of gems, like the ‘Bay of Bones’, idyllic fishing villages, and historical buildings.

After arrival, visit the whopping 9th-century monastery of St. Naum, where you'll learn the origin of the Cyrillic writings and the legends of St. Naum and its predecessors. Before discovering the island by yourself, enjoy a rowing boat trip over the springs of the Black Drim, known for its pure and untouched natural beauty.

Afterwards, you'll have the opportunity to explore the island at your own pace, then you'll be brought back to the starting point.

We enjoyed everything about this trip. The guides were excellent and knowledgeable. The bay of bones wasn't included but they still did a close up / slow down with some basics explained. There was a lovely row boat excursion included too. Delightful!

There was confusion with the pick-up despite my time and location confirmed night before. Bus didn't pick me up as planned, but a lovely TUI lady rescued me in her car and caught the boat in time - just! The boat trip to St. Naum was great (avoid toilet!) the visit around the church was busy, but interesting. Loved the mini boat trip and spoke to some great people at the restaurant for lunch. Free time was right amount of time.

The trip was excellent. Beautiful scenery, interesting historical narrative from the guide and some free time to explore. The pick up was very good, with your representative arriving early. However we could have made our own way to the harbour and avoided this altogether.

Could have stopped at the Bay of Bones for a more interesting tour

The journey may bit long for some as hour and half so point that out , the tour guide was very good , his knowledge and enthusiasm was clear . Most beautiful place . Recommend it to those interested in history plus the natural beauty of the springs

You can get this trip a lot cheaper if you book your own at the harbour
