As if landed on a hill, you can see it everywhere - if you are above it, if you are on a boat tour (the view is amazing at sunset), from both shores. From the playground in front of the church the view is also amazing, it is no accident a favorite decor for wedding photos. The church itself is in a typical orthodox style, renovated, much attended. You can reach it from downtown or from the fortress, but you must. You will not regret it.

Compared to some of the other churches in and around Ohrid, this church, St Kliment is a bit understated - although we still thought that this serene building was most enjoyable. Unusually parts of this church are very simplistic , white washed walls contrasting with dark stained wood panels, but this had the effect of being a respectful inspiring and reflective spiritual building. Given the almost understated nature of the church, the location of St Kliment final resting place is almost hidden away, unusual for this saint has achieved an almost cult status.

Svet Naum was high on my list of places to visit while in ohrid. The church sits on top of the hill built in the 16th century. It’s the oldest Balkan church. Peaceful and tranquil surroundings. Surround by beautiful gardens and an amazing view of lake ohrid. I would suggest bringing your swimmers and spending the day at Svet Naum. You can have a relaxing boat ride along the lake, enjoy lunch at the many restaurants, shop at the many survivor stores, take a swim in ohrid lake, explore the churches or just chill out at one of the cafes enjoying the scenery. We actually visited Svet Naum twice and I would go again. Absolutely beautiful. Enjoyment for the whole family

The Holy Mary Perybleptos church is considered to be one of the most important religious, historical, archeological, but also site with artistic value. The church is the oldest one in the city and is considered to be one of the preserved ones, not only in Macedonia, but also in the region. It is most famous for its mesmerizing and truly amazing fresoces, with unusual depictions of the scenes described in the Bible. If you're a history buff, then the richness of frescoes and the history of the church itself will for sure amaze you and inspire to explore more about the church and the amazing city of Ohrid. All in all, if you're visiting Ohrid, do visit this church, you won't regret it!
