Travelers start by boarding private transportation in Tirana for an 11-hour day trip into North Macedonia. The first major stop is Ohrid, where guests spend about three hours exploring the historic old town. Ohrid has a long history from the Hellenistic period through Roman and Ottoman times and is known for its 365 churches. Visitors walk through the old streets to see key churches including Saint Sophia, Saint Jovani, and Saint Clement, as well as the medieval Samoil Fortress and the National Workshop where traditional handmade paper is demonstrated. The tour also includes a visit to the Ohrid Amphitheatre. After Ohrid, the journey continues with a short stop at the Bay of Bones Museum along Lake Ohrid to learn about this prehistoric settlement.
