Ohrid is Macedonia's number one tourist destination and the town can get quite crowded. Lake Ohrid, however, is quite large and it is not hard to find a quiet spot to go for a swim or just enjoy the views on the crystal-clear waters.

Bay of Bones is a museum on Lake Ohrid about the lifestyle of an ancient civilisation of fishermen who used to live in stilt houses on the edge of the lake.

Mavrovo National Park offers some of the best hiking in Macedonia, but it is also home to the artificial Mavrovo lake. After a hike in the mountains, I enjoyed this beautiful view when cycling back to the hostel.

Prilep is a hidden gem in Macedonia: Close to the town, the ruins of an ancient castle are waiting to be explored. From there, I hiked to a monastery in the mountains that offers incredible views over the valley and ancient frescos.

While hiking at the beautiful Lake Ohrid in Macedonia, I found myself in a meadow of wild flowers overlooking the blue lake.
