Dolno Konjsko Holidays

With its peaceful vibe and prime stretch of pretty pebble beach, Dolno Konjsko gets top marks when it comes to laidback holidays to Lake Ohrid. Make the most of its sunny shoreside location and spend your days splashing in the shallows and soaking up the sunshine.

For an easy peasy outing, the ancient town of Ohrid is tough to beat – just take a 15-minute taxi ride and you’re there. The whole place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s home to some impressive historical buildings that date way back to Roman times. Then when lunchtime rolls around, you’ve got a line-up of lakefront restaurants to pick from.

Taking to the water is the best way to visit two of Lake Ohrid’s must-visit historical sites – your rep can sort the tickets, and the ferry will pick you up on its way down the lake. Your first port of call is the Bay of Bones museum, where you can see a Bronze Age village built on platforms out on the lake itself. Next is St. Naum Monastery, which is one of the oldest in Macedonia. Take a stroll around its peaceful grounds, then pop inside the church to have a peek at the frescoes.
