The monastery is in a lovely setting, the small historic chapel is beautiful and the fresco’s inside impressive. A slightly bizarre and unexpected sight was the ten or so colourful peacocks on the roof of the chapel and around the grounds. I tasted and ended up buying some delicious local honey there. It’s funny how word gets around about these sorts of things to look out for and try.
Ohrid itself is proclaimed on several signs around town as a ‘City of Unesco’, the central ‘old’ city is heritage protected. There are a series of pedestrian streets, paved with marble, and while full of tourist focused bars, shops and restaurants, it has a nice feel to it. Unfortunately due to the training course I was there for (its not all fun and games) I was unable to explore the city during daylight hours and get any decent photos…
