3.Shared Cruise to St.Naum Monastery

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 76 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $24

Shared Lake Ohrid cruise to St Naum Monastery with a quick Bay of Bones stop, onboard Wi-Fi, and time to explore on your own.

“The boat was comfortable and not overcrowded compared to the other boats providing the same trip. Staff were friendly, drinks were reasonably priced, good WiFi on board. The monastery was pretty but our highlight was the rowing boat through the springs which cost 300 denars pp if you shared the boat , our boatman was very knowledgable and the springs themselves were stunning. Lunch options in the restaurants were plentiful and again reasonably priced. We are not beach people but enjoyed sitting where the springs flow into the lake, very cool and relaxing. All in all a lovely day out .”

He also recommended a few restaurants for lunch and once we had decided he had arranged a table for us right on the water front which was lovely. The whole day was a highlight of our trip so far.
