Fantastic account Rowena. Ohrid is certainly on my list!

I so enjoyed this account and the photos! I left my heart in Ohrid many years ago and haven’t been back since 2010. Til now. Thanks!

Thank you so much. That means a lot when you write about a place that means something to someone! It’s a magic place and I encourage visitors to take time beyond the highly presentable old town. I get the sense summer has a lot of tour buses (we got the wisps in September) and there is a lot of new building going up. But the essence of the town endures; we stayed with the family of Ljupcho Panevski who makes paper by hand in a workshop in town.

Beautiful! There are so many people from Ohrid in Australia that if you meet anyone in Ohrid who doesn't have a relative in Australia, then they're imposters and not from Ohrid lol! Enjoy the rakija!
