Dolno Konjsko Holidays

With just a handful of hotels and a laidback atmosphere, Dolno Konjsko feels a million miles from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Set midway down the eastern side of Lake Ohrid, you’ve got far-reaching views over the water to the mountains beyond. Make the most of the shoreside spot and spend your days swimming and soaking up the sunshine.

Itching to explore? Take a 15-minute taxi ride up the lake shore and spend the day in the ancient town of Ohrid. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its home to impressive historical buildings, from a Roman theatre to one of the biggest medieval castles in Macedonia. As for lunch spots, you’ve got a row of waterfront restaurants to choose from, where you can tuck into freshly caught fish and take in lake views.

Two of Lake Ohrid’s must-see sites are super simple to visit by boat from Dolno Konjsko – just reserve your place and hop aboard to get there. First stop is the Bay of Bones museum, where you can see a reconstruction of a Bronze Age settlement built on platforms over the lake itself. Further down the shoreline is St. Naum Monastery. Dating back to 905AD, it’s one of Macedonia’s oldest churches, and inside the walls and ceilings are covered with centuries-old frescoes.
