Departure from the hotel Metropol by boat and 40 minutes cruise towards the city of Ohrid, welcome drink on board. Wonderful view on the church of St Jovan Kaneo (13th century).
The walking tour starts from the square of St Clement. Then we head towards the old part of the town and we stop at the Lower Gate (one of the gates of medieval Ohrid) and the archaeological museum situated at Robevi house (1826). Just next door the museum in a 19th century house is a unique hand-made paper workshop, one of three of a kind in Europe.
What follows is a tour of the church of St Sophia which dates from the 11th century. The church is known as the cathedral of Ohrid Archbishopic a masterpiece of architecture and fresco paintings. Due to its great acoustics it is one of the stages of Ohrid Summer festival, the most famous festival of classical music and drama of the country. Then we go up to the Roman theater which dates back to the 2rd century BC. The Upper Gate, the only preserved city gate of Ohrid is 50 meters away and many ancient stones used to build it are still visible.
Then we walk to Plaoshnik, the place where we visit the reconstructed church of St Clement , which is dedicated to St. Clement (the patron of Ohrid) and St. Pantelejmon, and which stands beside the original site of St Clement’s University, the first university of the Macedonian Slavs started in the 9th century AD. Inside the church you can also see the tomb with St Clement’s relics. Beside the church you can see the foundations of couple early Christian basilicas and remains of a bishopical palace with beautifully preserved mosaic floors and some swastikas also discovered on the floors of an early Christian baptistery. After this we go back to the town on foot.
