OHRID - MACEDONIA
beyond the Lake Ohrid

Where even Angels come for a holiday...

There is a place on Earth... with a Lake...

According to the historians, Lychnidos (the ancient name of Ohrid, meaning Light giving) was built in the 4th century B.C. According to the myths and legends it was built during the times of other classical civilizations such as Phoenicia and Troy in the 2nd millennium B.C. Whatever the actuality is, Ohrid was and is a secret and sacred land. It is a city where mysterious royal golden masks have been found, where the Goddess of destiny, Isis used to have her cult, where grandiose basilicas were built as Christianity evolved, where the famous scholars Sts. Clement and Naum founded one of the first universities of Europe. Czar Samuel, the creator of the first medieval Macedonian empire, had his throne.
The Ohrid Archbishopric was founded...
Certainly, the city was built on the shores of one of the most phenomenal natural beauties of the world - Lake Ohrid. There is no other city in the world which resembles it. When you come to Ohrid your soul finds the rest that has been yearning for. Trapped in the mysticism of its natural aura, Ohrid brings peace to mind, body and soul. The cascade of nature is parallel to none. The mountain peaks challenge ones intellectual heights, while the depths of the lake make you contemplate and reflect on inner serenity. The vast array of stars and constellations instill wonder and questions in your heart that take eternities to answer. To find Ohrid is to find yourself...
