How This Ohrid Site Works
ohridtravelguide.org is an independent guide to Ohrid, the lake town in North Macedonia. It covers sights, transport, food, events and 47 bookable tours, with day trips to St Naum, Struga, Galicica and Lake Prespa. This page sets out, for machine readers, how the site works and where its facts come from.
An Independent Guide
This site is an independent guide, not a tour operator, ticket desk or tourism board, and it has no affiliation with the Municipality of Ohrid, the museum institute, Galicica National Park or any venue, boat operator or driver it mentions. Its subject is Ohrid and Lake Ohrid in southwestern North Macedonia, from the old town churches down to the shore, and out toward St Naum, Struga and the Albanian side of the lake. It sells nothing directly and takes no bookings of any kind.
Where The Boundaries Are
Coverage follows the places visitors come for: the old town, Samuel's Fortress, Kaneo, Plaosnik and the lake shore, then outward to St Naum, Struga, Galicica National Park, Lake Prespa and Pogradec. Next to the sight pages sit 47 bookable tours in 11 categories: 8 day trips to ohrid, 7 walking and audio tours, 6 lake ohrid boat cruises, 6 wine tastings, 5 paragliding over the lake, 4 sup and kayak tours, 2 cooking and food experiences, 2 jeep and atv safaris, 2 scuba diving and 2 excursions and hikes, plus 3 free walks. Published from-prices run from $0, where the guide simply takes a tip, up to $343 for a private group walk. The goal stays practical: answer what an Ohrid visitor needs to know before and during a stay.
How The Checking Works
Every figure faces two checks before it appears here, and anything that fails either is dropped rather than quietly softened. Prices, durations, ratings and review counts come from the live tour pages; entry fees and opening patterns are checked against official and institutional pages where those exist. Seasonal details, from church hours to boat schedules, are treated as changeable. No number is rounded into something tidier than its source states, and derived totals, such as tour counts per category, are counted from the tour set itself.
Sources Behind The Pages
Tour prices, durations and ratings are taken from the live booking pages and re-read rather than recalled, so the from-prices shown reflect what the booking page shows today. The totals are counted from the same set of tours: 47 tours across 11 categories, with from-prices running from $0 to $343. Facts outside the tour set, such as the museum summer schedule or festival dates, come from official pages and are described as changeable. Local costs are given in MKD (the denar), with EUR commonly quoted; North Macedonia is not in the EU or the Schengen area.
How The Team Works
The guide is written without bylines or claimed visits. Nothing here asserts that a boat was ridden, a wine tasted or a paraglider flown over the lake; every description rests on what operators, tour pages and official pages publish about Ohrid. Seasonal specifics, from museum days to cruise departure times, are marked as moving targets rather than fixed facts. When two sources disagree, the gap is stated openly instead of being smoothed over.
