According to historians, Lychnidos (the ancient name of Ohrid) was built in the 4th century BC, but again myths and legends tell us that it was built during the times of the legendary classical civilizations such as Phoenicia and Troy in the 2nd millennium BC. Whatever the actual date is, Ohrid was and will eternally stay a mystical and sacred place. 

This Package combines the two final (and very unique!) stages of the High Scardus Trail from Velestovo via Mountain Hut Spiridon to Sveti Naum with a lot of time to explore all the cultural (and natural) treasures in Ohrid and at Lake Ohrid.
