Legend says Ohrid once had 365 churches, one for every day of the year. Among those that survive are the 13th-century Church of St John at Kaneo, perched on a rocky outcrop above the water, and the medieval Church of St Sophia. At Plaošnik, the restored church of St Panteleimon stands among the remains of early Christian basilicas with floor mosaics.
Narrow cobbled lanes link these sites with traditional houses, the ancient theatre and Tsar Samuel’s Fortress at the top of the hill, while the lakeside promenade invites a slow evening walk.
