This is Lake Ohrid in Macedonia, one of the most beautiful spots in the Balkans. I was blown away by Ohrid and would definitely go back. It's somewhere I'd never heard of before visiting Macedonia in 2018, but now I would definitely recommend!

Ohrid is like paradise on Earth. I haven't seen a place as beautiful as that. I took a ton of pictures when I was there. Too bad you didn't show Holy Mary Peribleptos' and St. Sophia's churches, they're amazing to see, especially the first one, but they don't let you film or take photos inside it. I managed to take one after asking the guard, and he gave a good thought before letting me, maybe he was merciful because I was a tourist. In St. Sophia, on the other hand, they let you film and take all the pictures you want.

You did great job visiting Ohrid, the oldest natural lake in Europe. Unfortunately you were too short to experience some other stunning places around. 1) You missed St. Naum, one of the most beautiful churches in Macedonia where you can also see the springs of the River Drim. You will definitely see swans and peacocks. 2) The Prehistoric settlement in the Bay of Bones, 3) you can climb on Galichica Mountain and see both Ohrid and Prespa lakes - astonishing view. From here you can fly with parachute :) ...and more...

Levon Alyanakian I was born on the Albanian side of the lake, in a town called Pogradec. I would recommend you visit both sides of the lake, because they are both wonderful and very clean. Both Albanians and Macedonians are very nice and friendly.
