Additional Info

Important Notes

• Lunch Break: Guests can choose from a wide range of options—from traditional Ohrid bagels starting at around €1 sold locally to fine dining experiences in fish or traditional Macedonian restaurants by the lake. Whether you want a quick snack or a leisurely meal, there’s something for every taste and budget.

• Swimming: During the summer months, swimming in Lake Ohrid is possible. Please bring your swimwear and towels if you wish to take a dip.
Note: If you decide to swim, there will be limited or no time for a full sit-down lunch at a restaurant. For those wanting more swimming and relaxation time, we recommend booking a private tour, where the itinerary and activities can be tailored to your preferences.

• Luggage Policy: Bringing luggage on this group tour is not recommended.
– There may not be enough space in the vehicle for bags or suitcases.
– At several stops, the vehicle is left unattended, and we cannot guarantee the safety of your belongings. Leaving valuables in the van increases the risk of theft or damage (e.g., broken windows).

• Tour Operation: Operates rain or shine, year-round.
