Beautiful Ohrid

I just love this city. I've been to many places but nothing beats Ohrid if you ask me. It has all that you can ask for as a tourist; Beaches, a lake, ancient churches and monasteries, amphitheater, shops, nightclubs and cafes.

Ohrid is a city on the eastern shore of Lake Ohrid. Ohrid is notable for having once had 365 churches, one for each day of the year and has been referred to as a "Jerusalem". The city is rich in picturesque houses and monuments, and tourism is predominant.


You can find all my photos from the city in the slideshow at your left side.

A Short Trip to Bitola

Bitola formerly known as Monastir, is located in the southern part of the Pelagonija valley, surrounded by the Baba and Nidze mountains, 14 km north of the Medzitlija-Niki border crossing with Greece. It is an important junction connecting the south of the Adriatic Sea with the Aegean Sea and Central Europe. It has been known since the Ottoman period as "the city of the consuls", since many European countries have consulates in Bitola. According to some sources, Bitola is the second largest city in the country.
Saat Kula is one of Bitolas most famous sites in the center of the town.
Pelister

Sirok Sokak - the main street in the center of Bitola
Yesterday we went on a short day-trip to Bitola. The mountains of Pelister lingers on the way to our destination. The view is breathtaking.
