Ohrid

Makedonija

The 'Jerusalem of the Balkans' on the shore of Lake Ohrid — one of the oldest lakes in the world, over 3 million years old. Legend gives the town 365 churches, one for each day of the year. Dual UNESCO status, both natural and cultural — a vanishingly rare distinction. The Ohrid pearl, crafted from fish scales using a technique known to only a handful of families, is authentic nowhere else on earth.
