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....."

I think that this kind of "alternative" tourism is way better than the old fashioned commercial tours that are maybe OK for countries larger than Macedonia and cities bigger than Ohrid. You can't explore the essence of the city and area with the conditional way of organizing tours. We must rewind and refresh old fashioned tourism and give it a new swing. I hope you will all enjoy Ohrid - Dream. Come. Live it!
