A day in Lagadin

Morning
Jump on the bus from the town centre and head into Ohrid. Spend a few hours exploring the must-visit sites, like the Church of St John at Kaneo and Tsar Samuel's Fortress.

Lunch
Take a seat outside a waterfront café for some authentic North Macedonian cooking. Try the local fresh lake fish or fill up on a pastrmalija, a pizza-style flatbread.

Afternoon
Catch the bus back to Lagadin and spend the afternoon at Green Paradise beach. Kick back on a sun lounger, go for a dip in the lake or hire a pedalo. When it's time to cool down, pop to the beach bar for a cold drink and an ice cream.

Evening
For a meal with a view, hop in a taxi and ride up into the hills of Galičica National Park to Utarna Terrace. Graze on stuffed vine leaves, zingy tomato salads and slow-cooked meat as you look out over Lake Ohrid – don't forget your camera to snap the sunset.
