Ohrid and Ohrid Lake is a great getaway for summer period, for the holidays and weekend when people can enjoy in this beautiful place with spirit older then 2 000 years.
No matter in which season you are visiting Ohrid, you can relax by the Ohrid Lake, visit the amphitheater (which is revitalized after more then 2000 years), St. Jovan Kaneo, St. Panteleimon - Plaoshnik, Samuel Fortress, drink a cup of coffee by the lake in the Liquid café or on the Ohrid Square and enjoy the great view on the lake.
In Ohrid there is a great day and night life. Liquid , Kadmo café and all the places on the main square are great for having a coffee with friends while enjoying a great view on the lake. Liquid , Kadmo café are situated in the old town of Ohrid, by the Lake shore. Cuba Libre is also a great place, but it’s on the other side of the canal away from the city which is preferable for same people (you have to walk till the end of the pier).
All the places that are available for the day life are also available for nightlife. Café bar Duck which has live performance of local bands on Fridays and Saturdays has a very nice atmosphere. Duck is located on the pier. Liquid Café has live performances on Thursdays. The night bar Jazz Inn is always a great place for the jazz lovers and cool atmosphere till late hours. Discotheque Park which is 4km away from the town is opened till morning and offers different music (techno, rock, DJ performances). Nearby Duck there is a newly opened pub Dublin which offers snack and drinks.
A good choice for food is Belvedere restaurant (not a fancy one) which offers a great barbecue, Macedonian food and live acoustic music with folk songs. More sophisticated restaurants are Dalga, Momir (in the old town), St Sophia (in front of the church St. Sophia).
Good pica places are Cosa Nostra, Leonardo, Big Blue (taste the hot cheese in pot).
You can find good accommodation in recently renovated Villa Ginek which is located on the main square where everything is near - the old town, the pier, the monuments, bars, shops.
The house is built in 1932 when it was used as a hotel. The front side of the house is protected by the city and has its original construction.
Vila Ginek offers accommodation in double rooms. The rooms are with pleasant interior, clean, with TV, air conditioner, mini fridge, wireless Internet, private bathroom. They offer coffee and tea for free.
This is the view to the square and the lake from the terrace of the hallway.
This is the view to the shops and promenade ( ‘ohridska carsija’).
If you like to be in the heart of Ohrid, near everything you have to visit, and to have a pleasant and clean accommodation, Villa Ginek is a perfect place to stay.

This antic store is in authentic house.
The water – source of the life is everywhere. We follow the river trough the village and to the beautiful strings. We are welcomed with a gate ‘We belong to the nature – not the otherwise’.
By the water, to the strings we walk on a beautiful trail.
There is neat picnic space.
After seeing this beauty you mustn’t leave this village before you eat in one of the restaurants that prepare traditional Macedonian food. I recommend ‘Macedonian house’ (‘Makedonska kuka’) or ‘Via Ignatia’ (Via Ignacija). ‘Macedonian house’ has traditional atmosphere. In ‘Via Ignatia’ you can eat fish that is cached in front of your eye in the fishpond which surrounds the restaurant. This restaurant is in the pictures bellow.
Vevcani is 14 km far from Struga, and 30 km far from Ohrid. To get to Vevcani from Ohrid, you have to take the road to Struga (not entering the town), than through villages Vranista and Velesta. The road is asphalted and well marked. In Vevcani there are also signs to all the places that can be visited (springs, restaurants, enviroment). There is also a Tourist Information office in the middle of the village. In front of the village St. Nikola there is a map with all the places that can be seen in the village end in its near surroundings.
