Lake Ohrid is very much an undiscovered hidden gem. It’s nice to visit now before it eventually becomes too commercialised. It’s nice for having a walk along and we also did a boat trip where we had the opportunity to swim a bit further out.

This is truly one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I've been. The lake is surrounded by mountains so you can hike as well. Accommodation prices were reasonable. There plenty restuarants but also plenty supermarkets to buy produce for self catering. People are great as well

This is the oldest tectonic lake in Europe, and a must see, if you are in the area. Shared by three states (Macedonia 🇲🇰, Greece 🇬🇷 and Albania 🇦🇱) every side has its own charm. Thousands of springs come out from under the water, and you can see the bubbles coming out. The best time to go and swim is late summer, and in my opinion-too cold to swim in June. I highly recommend visiting Lake Ohrid-you will not be disappointed.

This is a fantastic lake that is well worth visiting. There are numerous paths and swimming areas along the coastline. Some very secluded and pretty bays. Make sure that you also take a boat ride on the lake at sometime during your visit.

An amazing, beautiful and peaceful lake. I would reccomend staying a few nights in Ohrid itself, preferably the Old Town which is gorgeous. There are some walking trails along and around the lake, and it is also possible to go on boat trips or kayak on the lake itself. All around gorgeous views and well worth visiting.

Great to walk around this lake and admire the view of the lake . Nice vistas for you to take pic. Also many restaurants are around with which you can enjoy your meal and take in the sites . Nice place to while away several hours .

We stayed outside the town for a fortnight in mid-July, so it was very hot. It's such a beautiful place with lots of restaurants, many boat trips and great walks. Went into the town at the weekend and it was almost a different place. Crowds everywhere, market stalls. All the outside seating at bars and restaurants was full. Great and very friendly atmosphere. Would love to go again, perhaps more off season.

One of the most underrated places in Europe! Stunning view of the oldest lake in the old continent with beautiful nature. Perfect for solo trips, family, small kids, elderly people. It's cheap, safe and the food is very tasty

Its easy to see why Lake Ohrid is called the Pearl of the Balkans. I could have stared at this beautiful lake and mountains all day long, if it had been warmer. We walked the promenade, sat, enjoyed the views, walked some more and repeated. Sadly, we didn't get to go on a planned boat cruise around the lake as we were told the boat operators allowed smoking on board or at least turned a blind eye. The town is full of jewellery shops, if you like that kind of thing (my friend did) but also traditional shops, museums, galleries, mosques and many restaurants and cafes. I imagine it would be packed with tourists in the summer so I'm glad we went in May.
