17th century Turkish traveller Evliya Çelebi says that Ohrid was as prosperous as Baghdad, Egypt and Constantinople those years and incredible amount of profit emerged due to the product of its lake. That's why many Emperor's tried to capture here to have that profit. Lastly, Mehmed the Conqueror captured here and Serbians took control in Ohrid after 500 year of sovereignty of Turks.

In this article, I will give some information about transportation, accommodation and places to visit in Ohrid. I would also suggest to staying here at least 1 night.

SKOPJE TRAVEL NOTES

Things to do in SkopjeAfter the preparation process to my Balkan trip, my travel route was like this : 

Skopje > Ohrid > Shkodra > Ulcinj > Kotor > Mostar > Sarajevo > Belgrade > Petrovaradin > Novi Sad > Niš > Prizren > Prishtine.

I can say that I had never confronted with any bad situation during my Balkan trip which was done on my own without any tours or agencies. I would also like to give stats now instead of at the end of my articles. I totally stayed 15 nights in the Balkans and the money I spent was only 550 Euros and return flight ticket, transportation, food and accommodation were all included.

In this article, I would like to share my own experiences on transportation, baggage fees, left luggage, exchange money, border crossings, accommodation, places to visit, Macedonian language and what to eat & drink in Skopje.
