Ohrid Lake is one of Macedonia's most famous places to visit. The scenery is very charming and attracts many tourists to come here. The lake is very clear and calm. A lot of restaurants close to the lake. It's really a good choice to enjoy the surrounding or take a lake tour with boats.

I fell in love with this lake, it’s marvelous. The water is so clean and clear. You can take a boat ride for a cheap amount of money.
