We keep a relaxed pace, with plenty of opportunities for questions, photos and local recommendations, so you can make the most of your visit.
Beginning from St Clement of Ohrid Square, the walk will take you to the museum of The Robev Family House and the Paper Museum. Then to one of the most important monuments of the region, St Sophia Church, followed by the Ancient Amphitheater.
After stopping at the Church of Holy Mary Perivleptos with the most preserved old frescoes, the tour takes you towards St Clement and Panteleimon Church and in the end finally reach the most photographed place in the region, St John the Theologian, known by the name of Kaneo.
On the way back, you have an option to take a short 15 to 20-minute boat trip and see the Old Town from a different perspective, or walk back to one of the many restaurants on the lake and experience traditional local produce foods.
