Ohrid UNESCO-erfgoed: dagtour met gids vanuit Skopje
Beschrijving
Ontdek de charme van Ohrid tijdens een volledige dag groepsreis vanuit Skopje. Deze ervaring combineert een begeleide wandeltocht met bezoeken aan enkele van de meest iconische bezienswaardigheden van de stad, waaronder het oudste meer van Europa (ja dat klopt!), Het meer van Ohrid, het oude theater, het fort van Samoil en de kerk van St. John in Kaneo. Als onderdeel van de tour bezoekt u het Ohrid Ancient Theatre, een van de oudste in de regio, voordat u naar Samoil's Fort gaat voor een panoramisch uitzicht over de stad en het meer. De route gaat verder naar de kerk van St. John in Kaneo, dramatisch boven het water gelegen en beroemd om zijn schilderachtige omgeving. Tijdens de warmere maanden kunt u zwemmen in het meer of deelnemen aan een boottocht (extra kosten). Er is ook vrije tijd om te lunchen in een lokaal restaurant. Na een volledige dag verkennen, wordt de tour afgesloten met een comfortabele terugreis naar Skopje.

De Macedonische kant van het meer van Ohrid werd in 1979 door UNESCO uitgeroepen tot werelderfgoed, en in 1980 werd de site uitgebreid met het culturele en historische gebied van Ohrid. In 2010 noemde NASA een van de meren van Titan ernaar. In 2014 werd het grensoverschrijdende reservaat Ohrid-Prespa tussen Albanië en Noord-Macedonië toegevoegd aan UNESCO's Wereldnetwerk van biosfeerreservaten. De Albanese kant van het meer van Ohrid kreeg in 2019 ook de status van UNESCO-werelderfgoed
Bezoek aan het oude theater van Ohrid.
Ohrid Fortress bekend als ,,Samuilova tvrdina'', werd gebouwd door Filips de 2 van Macedonië. Tijdens de late jaren 900 herstelde de Macedonische koning Samuil het fort door het om te bouwen tot een bolwerk in middeleeuwse stijl dat er nog steeds staat zoals het nu is.
Saint John in Kaneo is een Macedonische orthodoxe kerk gelegen op de klif boven Kaneo Beach met uitzicht op het meer van Ohrid in de stad Ohrid, Noord-Macedonië. De kerk is opgedragen aan Johannes van Patmos, de schrijver van Openbaring, die door sommigen wordt beschouwd als dezelfde persoon als Johannes de Apostel. De bouwdatum van de kerk is nog steeds onbekend, maar documenten met details over het kerkbezit suggereren dat het vóór het jaar 1447 werd gebouwd. Archeologen geloven dat de kerk werd gebouwd enige tijd vóór de opkomst van het Ottomaanse rijk, zeer waarschijnlijk in de 13e eeuw. Restauratiewerkzaamheden in 1964 leidden tot de ontdekking van fresco's in de koepel.

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.
