Ohrid Old Town 🌼
#cityplaybook
Ohrid old town gently caresses the crystal clear waters of the lake, which, in return, gently shines and polishes the pebbly shores. 🐾
Where the two meet, the best lakeside bars provide moments of heaven, and somewhere to enjoy a refreshing cold beer after a day of exploration.
A rickety wooden boardwalk dances over the lake, linking the old town to one of the most picturesque scenes I've ever witnessed at the Church of Saint John the Theologian.
Within the town, the slim, uneven, flawlessly clean, shiny cobbled streets rise and weave up the cliff, like a river's tributary through an eclectic mix of red-tiled buildings. Colourful flowers gleam throughout, as historic landmarks dot Ohrid old town.
The narrow steps wind you up the cliff, where, once at the top, unrivalled views await. You'll look down on the almost edited bluey-green waters that disappear into the mist that never leaves the southern shores, while mountains tower on all three sides of Lake Ohrid.
Red-tiled roofs stagger down the mountain with the occasional grand building, often a church, taking centre stage.
From the old town square on the water's edge, you can walk the vibrant and busy Old Bazaar Street, where shops, bars and restaurants await.
In truth, Ohrid is worth visiting and is one of the best old towns I've had the pleasure of visiting.
