Guests who prefer can relax with a coffee by the lake. Continue to Struga, known as the City of Poetry and Bridges and host of the renowned Struga Poetry Evenings. Enjoy a short guided walk to see where Lake Ohrid flows into the Black Drim River, along with bridges, monuments, and the local market. The final stop is Vevchani, a self-proclaimed independent town famous for its traditions, pagan Carnival, and natural springs.
