Rarity of its kind

Exploring Ohrid with Kate and through Katerina's eyes is a rarity of its kind. One has to live it through! Having dinner at fisherman's house at Kaneo, biking fastly through the colourfull landscape in autumn, jammin' and jazzin' in one of the most beatiful jazz bar's; that's what some specialities of Kate's tour are. Other's are surprise or privilegy - depends what you deserve. You can't miss the oportunity to get lost with Kate in Ohrid. Kate see you soon, in Ohrid, of course....

Lost and Found in Ohrid

TOURS: "Thanks Kate!!! What an unforgettable sightseeing, what an adventure! Every day you show us Ohrid in different light!!! To all those who plan travel in Ohrid, I strongly recommend tours offered by this marvelous person always prepared to answer your questions or enjoy the silence when beauty is just unbearable. Speaking of the city tours I would definitely highlight the one towards the Church of St Kaneo and then up to the Plaoshnik site...The streets are tiny and narrowed each of them offers different story. When approaching the St. Kaneo Church you will definitely feel the magic of that place- the view is just unforgettable and the smelt of the cedar threes will make you feel heavenly!! From there make your choice towards the woods or towards the Plaoshnik Church. Which ever you choose you will not regret..With Kate around you will be safe and treated responsivelly...Enjoy"
FOOD: When touring Ohrid, make sure that Kate arrange you lunch at Kaneo - Fisherman's House.This is small, family owned facility at the lake, with the view towards the St Kaneo Church. The hosts will greet you in traditional manner with "slatko" - sweet made of locally produced fruits. The food is tasty and delicious as it is prepared with organic food, in old traditional manner- you will not make mistake if you choose any of the menus. Still feel the taste of "sarma", home made pie and the fish..mmmm
SHOPPING:On your way back, Kate can give you a nice shopping tour so you can take home certified, locally produced souvenirs or jewelry. Be careful as there are lots of imported goods from neighboring countries so having Kate with you will be of great assistance...Do not forget that Ohrid is well known because of the famous Ohrid pearls as well as curved goods that could be purchased in the old part of the city....."

Come back to Ohrid, as I did

The day has started. You should first find you accomodation in a private room, not in a hotel, with an old hospitable 'gazda' (landlord) around to take care of you. Then, before noon, you must climb up to Samuil's fortress and smoke a joint, overlooking Ohrid below. No need to hurry. Then you must get to the small village of Trpeica near Ohrid to have lunch at this restaurant right on the shore of the lake. Order belvica fish and 'traminec' (traminer) white wine after you have had a nice big bowl of Macedonian salad with hot peppers and 'zolta lozova' (yellow Macedonian grape brandy). After the lunch, and maybe a swim, buy several Skopsko beers and drive or sail to Sveti Naum. Take the boat to the springs of the Drim river, bow down and drink directly from the lake the clearest cold water from earth's uterus. It may well be five or six o'clock buy now. Go to the jazz club in central Ohrid. Have a few drinks until it's ten or eleven. Then go to the 'kajces' (boats) below Kaneo. The day is not over yet. Enjoy the evening and come back to Ohrid, as I did.

Dreaming away in the sunset of Ohrid

Ohrid has always been a place dear to my heart, and it is not easy to describe the reason with words. The sunset is always charming, the lake is always colourful, food is extraordinary and the people are special. It is a mixture of modernity and ancient history. Every piece of soil we walk on dates back to the blood and tears of ancient conquest and empire. You can cross the lake by boat to Albania illegally, but I wouldn't recommend it in case your motor breaks down in the middle of the lake. It is at least two hours to each side if you row by hands from the border line. If it rains while you were there, I recommend you stay with some local people to drink cocktail or to learn how to cook Macadonian food from a grand mother. Hopping around the bars among teenagers in Ohrid at night, I feel young again--submerged in the lyrics of love and bitterness. As a foreigner, I feel I am most welcomed here among motivated people who try to build their country amongst political chaos. Come see it.

RAISON D'ETRE

We want to share this dreamy countryside with the rest of the world.Here one can enjoy: The sunrise in a coastal village, while drinking freshly ground coffee The warmth of freshly baked bread in small village bakeries The taste of freshly picked tomatoes and peppers directly from the local gardens, cherries and peaches straight from the tree The innocent whiteness of cheese home-made as you watch The sweetness of honey eaten in the flower gardens where the bees made it View of stars above the mountains, where you might even discover a new constellation The blue colour of clear rivers The scent of mountain flowers in spring Sunset at a fishermen's settlement, when colours of the lake vary from light blue to purple and orange...
And all that in a radius of less than 30km!
