Hidden Gem: The Monastery at the Border is Stunning...

Located right on the border between Ohrid in Macedonia and Tirana, the Saint Naum Monastery is a must-see.

I traveled there from Ohrid city by shared taxi! Since there are no regular buses to this location, it might be a good idea to ask your hotel staff for advice if you're unsure about transportation.

Due to its proximity to the border, you can feel the international atmosphere as some passengers in the taxi are heading to Albania for work.

The Naum Monastery is situated in a lush green area, offering breathtaking views of Lake Ohrid and a chance to immerse yourself in nature 🌱
(Peacocks 🦚 roam freely within the grounds.)

The serene and solemn atmosphere provided me with a deeply cleansing experience, even as someone without religious beliefs.

※ For some reason, this spot is mistakenly listed as being in Albania 😭
