Ohrid UNESCO Heritage : Visite guidée d'une journée au départ de Skopje
Description
Découvrez le charme d'Ohrid lors d'une visite de groupe d'une journée au départ de Skopje. Cette expérience combine une visite guidée à pied avec des visites de certains des sites les plus emblématiques de la ville, y compris le plus vieux lac d'Europe (oui c'est vrai!), Le lac Ohrid, le théâtre antique, la forteresse de Samoil et l’église Saint-Jean de Kaneo. Dans le cadre de la visite, vous visiterez le théâtre antique d'Ohrid, l'un des plus anciens de la région, avant de vous rendre à la forteresse de Samoil pour une vue panoramique sur la ville et le lac. Le parcours se poursuit jusqu'à l'église Saint-Jean de Kaneo, perchée dramatiquement au-dessus de l'eau et célèbre pour son cadre parfait.

Il y aura également du temps libre pour déjeuner dans un restaurant local. Après une journée complète d'exploration, la visite se termine par un confortable voyage de retour à Skopje.

Le côté macédonien du lac d'Ohrid a été déclaré site du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO en 1979, le site étant étendu pour inclure également la zone culturelle et historique d'Ohrid en 1980. En 2010, la NASA a nommé l'un des lacs de Titan d'après lui. En 2014, la réserve transfrontalière d'Ohrid-Prespa entre l'Albanie et la Macédoine du Nord a été ajoutée au Réseau mondial de réserves de biosphère de l'UNESCO. Le côté albanais du lac d'Ohrid a également été désigné patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 2019
Visite du théâtre antique d'Ohrid.
La forteresse d'Ohrid, connue sous le nom de ,, Samuilova tvrdina '', a été construite par Philippe le 2 de Macédoine. À la fin des années 900, le roi macédonien Samuil a restauré la forteresse en la transformant en une forteresse de style médiéval qui est toujours telle qu'elle est aujourd'hui.
Saint John at Kaneo est une église orthodoxe macédonienne située sur la falaise sur la plage de Kaneo surplombant le lac Ohrid dans la ville d'Ohrid, en Macédoine du Nord. L'église est dédiée à Jean de Patmos, l'écrivain de l'Apocalypse, qui a été considéré par certains comme étant la même personne que Jean l'apôtre. La date de construction de l'église reste inconnue mais des documents détaillant la propriété de l'église suggèrent qu'elle a été construite avant l'année 1447. Les archéologues pensent que l'église a été construite quelque temps avant la montée de l'Empire ottoman très probablement au 13ème siècle. Des travaux de restauration en 1964 ont conduit à la découverte de fresques dans son dôme.

A beautiful and varied day to Lake Ohrid! Our guide Bona made a party of it. She bought cake that her mother had made and she told a lot about the history and all the sights in good English. She took good care of my 88-year-old mother who occasionally wanted to sit. The lake and fortress, churches is beautiful! Boating is also recommended!
A great way to see Ohrid if you only have one day available. Bona, our guide, was very flexible and shared a lot of knowledge about both Ohrid and the history of North-Macedonia. We even got home made breakfast in the morning and a drinkable suprise at the end. A nice balance between guided history and free time. The driver was safe and cautious. All in all a beautiful city and a trip I would recomend to do.
Unfortunately, GetYourGuide has a maximum number of characters for reviews. That's why I'm placing it here. Wow wow wow! Not only did I find this the most wonderful tour I have ever had, but also the most fun. Stef (Stefani) has given us a lot of information about Ohrid. Her passion radiated from it. She also went to great lengths to connect with everyone. For example, there was a Turkish man who did not speak English, while the tour was English. She sometimes said some Turkish words and communicated with gestures to also make sure he had a good time. She did this for everyone! But I found it remarkable that she went to extra lengths for him. I got along very well with another girl who joined the tour. We sat down together at Stef's front seat. Outside the information about the tour we had nice conversations in the van. I laughed a lot. The bus itself was equipped with excellent air conditioning. I wasn't a moment too hot. Even with the air conditioning, Stef did her best to keep it at the right temperature. On the way to Ohrid we had a break in which we could have breakfast. There we had eaten a delicious Macedonian specialty, which was very tasty! We started at the old theater, then we visited the fort. Then the church and we had been on a luxury boat. This boat had very soft pillows. We enjoyed the view and took pictures of each other. Stef clearly indicated when we were going to do something, so everyone knew what to expect. She gave everyone the option to do everything or just a few things. She put the choice all the way to us without judging. In addition, she thought along with when we had to drink, go to the bathroom or buy souvenirs. On the road were quite a few people driving dangerously. Stef made sure she kept her distance and that we felt safe. Before this tour started, I looked up to the long duration of the tour (11.5 hours). But because of the rest time we had received in between and being on the bus, this was a perfect balance! I loved this to end my holiday with. Moreover, we were very lucky with the weather in Ohrid. It was sunny but not too hot and not too cold. If you are going to Macedonia: this tour (specifically from this company!) is a must!!
It’s a great introduction to Ohrid for those short of time. Just know that it’s going to be a lot of driving (six hours return) you will have coffee and toilet breaks in the middle. Our mini van was full . I was lucky to have the single seat with plenty of leg room but I can imagine how uncomfortable that must have been for others. Bona is a good guide and she is enthusiastic about sharing with us the great history of her country. We saw and walked through the majority of the main sights but you will always have that feeling of being rushed but it’s understandable unless you don’t really want to see them, in that case she gave us choices too. In the first part of the long drive (1 and half hour) the driver was talking to the guide so much and quite loudly. It was in their language. I am not against him talking, at least I hope at least he’s not sleeping or texting but he could have toned down his voice. He never paused, I was wondering if his mouth gets ever dry from the chatting. It was becoming irritating especially for the couple who were immediately behind him.
Excellent day out with lots of interesting stuff to see
I give this tour my highest and warmest recommendations. Ohrid was absolutely magical—truly a hidden gem of the Balkans. Our guide, Bojana (or 'Bona' as she's called), was incredible. Having traveled quite a bit, I can easily say she’s in the top three guides I’ve ever had. She took care of us from start to finish and made sure everyone in the group felt seen. Definitely the highlight of my trip!
Beautiful experience. Our guide (she was in training) was so very kind and helpful. The lake itself was gorgeous, of course, and the information was nice to know. I had a great time!
Nice city and very good guidance from Bojana. Only i would recommend to do a smaller groups than 40.
