A day in Struga

Morning
Stroll along the Old Bazaar and imagine the hustle and bustle in centuries gone by. Scour through the market stalls at the end, and for even more history, cross the road to see the Church of St George, Europe's oldest spiritual shrine.

Lunch
Once you've had your culture fix, wander back along the Black Drim River and find Pizza Angela down a cobbled alley. Order North Macedonia's take on the Italian staple, a long, stretched pizza topped with pork called pastrmalija.

Afternoon
Hop in a taxi round the lake to Radozhda and hire a stand-up paddleboard. Glide out onto the water for views of the knockout natural beauty, or go with a guide for a tour of the lake's highlights.

Evening
Head back to Struga and walk along the lakefront to Versus Beach Bar. Pick your favourite cocktail and soak up the evening buzz as you catch the sunset over Lake Ohrid. Magic.
