2 dayOHRID CITY TOUR

After our breakfast we depart for the beautiful city of Ohrid nestled on the shores of the lake. In Byzantine Ohrid we will visit the ancient "Lychindo" which was baptized Ohrid (And the Slavic meaning is city on the hill). There we will have time to admire the old town with the picturesque houses that have red roofs and are built on the hill of the peninsula overlooking the lake and the Byzantine church of Agios Klimentas. Then we will visit the metropolis of Agia Sophia which was built in 1035 and we will continue our tour of the old town of Ohrid on the cobblestones, the old Greek mansions and Tsar Samuel's castle with small shops and folk art. The outdoor cafes, the picturesque cobbled streets, the small shops and the elegant boutiques, the rustic combined with the restaurants win the imagination. There we will have free time for shopping and lunch(Optionally).Then Return to rest and in the evening we will watch the Resurrection sequence, at the Church of St. George. Then Resurrection dinner, in a rich buffet with fine dishes and musical accompaniment at the Hotel and overnight stay. (Christ is Risen!)

3 dayEASTER SUNDAY VISIT TO HOLY NAUM

After breakfast we depart and following a lakeside route we drive to the charming Byzantine monastery of Osios Naum on the south side of the lake with amazing frescoes from the 10th century. The entire area was the seat of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. From there, the monks Cyril and Methodius set out to teach the Slavs the alphabet and the Bible. The legend wants his heart to still be heard beating normally, listening carefully over one's grave. Later return to the hotel for the traditional Easter meal combined with live music. In the afternoon we suggest a walk in Struga and the Drim river to enjoy our coffee in one of the many cafes combined with a beautiful landscape. Then return for dinner and overnight.
