About this experience
This is an excellent opportunity to see most of the churches and attractions of the old part of Ohrid while seating relaxed on our boat.
We are taking you along the old town from where you can enjoy in the best view and see most of the landmarks in the old town.
In the second half of the trip we are crossing the lake to the east coast in order to pass by the ex residence of Josip Broz Titio. This villa is not open for visitors, so the only way to see it is from a boat.
The cozy atmosphere on our boat will make this cruise one of a kind experience. You can stay inside on our indoor heated deck, or enjoy the views from the outdoor deck.
If you want to see most of Ohrid in one hour, than this is the right option.
