Ohrid – Museum “The Bay of Bones” (N.Macedonia) – St.Naum Ohridski – Pogradec (Albania) – Korça (Albania) – Kastoria (Greece) – Florina (Greece) – Bitola – Ohrid

This full-day tour is designed for travelers who want to experience the diverse cultures and landscapes of three Balkan countries, North Macedonia, Albania, and Greece, in one unforgettable loop. The journey begins in Ohrid with a guided walk through the city’s most iconic landmarks. From the Filevi Pearl Workshop and the Robevi House to the Church of St. Sophia and the hilltop Samuel’s Fortress, this introduction gives you a strong sense of Ohrid’s layered history.

The route also includes a visit to the Church of St. John at Kaneo, with its famous lakeside view, and a quick stop at the Bay of Bones, a reconstructed prehistoric lakeside village.

From there, the road follows the southern shoreline to the Monastery of St. Naum, where spring waters feed into Lake Ohrid and peacocks roam the gardens. Crossing into Albania, the tour continues to Pogradec for a brief lakeside stop, then heads inland to Korça. This highland city is known for its grand Orthodox cathedral, lively market district, and distinct cultural charm. There’s time for a stroll and lunch before continuing south.

The tour then crosses into Greece, arriving in Kastoria, a lakeside town famous for its fur-making history and Byzantine chapels. A drive along the waterfront reveals mansions and churches built into the surrounding hills. The next leg brings you to Florina for a short coffee stop before heading back into North Macedonia.

Your final cultural stop is Bitola, where a panoramic vehicle tour and short walk highlight its Ottoman-era mosques, Shirok Sokak promenade, churches, and ancient ruins. The day ends back in Ohrid, having completed a 440-kilometer arc through landscapes, borders, and stories that few visitors manage in one trip.

This tour is perfect for seasoned travelers, history lovers, or those seeking a rich and varied day on the road. Passport required.
