Itinerary
Inside the museum building, you can see original artifacts from the original settlement. The best part of this museum are the 24 houses that represent a pre-historic village. Inside you can see everyday items that were used by the villagers at that time.
A beautiful place, just on the other side of the border, near the town of Pogradec.
We will visit this small beautiful town, on the shores of Lake Ohrid in Albania.
It is a beautiful building painted in pink, blue and brown. The cathedral was built by Greece in 1995 on the foundations of a destroyed church of St. George.
Korca was once the Albanian center of the higher class. We will first stop to visit the old city architecture, then we will walk through the modern part, including the visit of the Central Orthodox Church.
We will see perhaps the most undeveloped region in Europe, the rural area of Albania called Pustec, along the Lake Prespa. We will visit the village of Zrnosko, where we can have our lunch.
We will return to Ohrid through Galichica National Park and stop in a few viewpoints of both lakes, Ohrid Lake and Prespa Lake.

About Ohrid
Ohrid is a lakeside town in North Macedonia on one of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes, with a hilltop fortress and Byzantine churches.
Ohrid stands on the north-east shore of Lake Ohrid, which North Macedonia shares with Albania and which UNESCO lists for both its nature and its culture. The old town climbs a hill from the water to Samuel's Fortress, and the church of St John at Kaneo perches on a cliff above the lake. Frescoed Byzantine churches, among them St Sophia and St Clement's at Plaošnik, record the town's role as a centre of Slavic learning.
