Hardly horrid, Orhid is the jewel of Macedonia's crown.

Ohrid is the Macedonian tourist mecca, with stunning Byzantine churches, small cobbled streets, art galleries, good accommodation and picturesque pebbly beaches to relax on. The town rests by the waters of Lake Ohrid, a natural tectonic lake which is Europe's deepest and one of the world's oldest.
