PORT D'OHRID

Port

Located on a pier, this small harbor (Пристаниште Охрид/Pristanište Ohrid) is home to a few pleasure boats and, most importantly, tour boats that serve St. Naum's Monastery on the southeast side of Lake Ohrid. Be aware of the safety conditions: make sure you know where the life jackets are and that the boat is not overloaded. In 2009, a shipwreck cost the lives of fifteen tourists. At the entrance to the pier, a statue of a man holding a cross reminds us that the harbor is also the setting for the traditional Orthodox Epiphany plunge.
