Saint Naum Monastery

Beautiful place in Ohrid. It feels like you are living during the medieval times. The castle is still intact from the time it was built, it’s a place of it’s own. Some peacocks wander outside of the monastery, it’s possible to visit the inside of the monastery which is considered a sacred place, as sveti naum (saint naum) is buried there. Absolute banger

Really beautiful spot! There are a couple of nice places to walk around with multiple chapels on the property, all of which are lovely. Don’t miss St. Naum’s tomb where you can hear his heart beating 1100 years later. Also some great little shopping spots for Ohrid pearls and filigree art.

The monastery is beautiful and well maintained. The surrounding area is also clean and pleasant. However, the entrance to the shrine itself is paid, which feels very strange. (150 mkd)

Beautiful and fairly affordable to visit! Definitely warrants a full day trip to enjoy the whole area tho! You only pay the parking fee while entering by car. There are small shops with gifts, souvenirs, food/water and beach amenities. Two big restaurants and paid toilets by the entrance. The surroundings are beautiful and the history is also interesting. Make sure to visit before noon to enjoy it better with less people tho. If you plan to visit the sandy beaches too there are paid loungers at the main part of the monastery grounds, but if you want a more calmer environment you can go by the monastery, to the ‘’beach saint naum’’ where you pay an entrance fee but have a calmer beach in return. You can also try the boat tour around the crystal clear springs.

Such a lovely place & some great views over the lake. Just a shame the entry to the monastery was locked. Nice beach area too.

It was a wonderful stroll around and through the ancient St. Nahum/Naum Monastery adorned with beautiful peacocks. 🦚

For me the most beautiful monastery in Macedonia. 10/ 10 / Good option when you stay in Ohrid take boat and visit this place

This place is amazing. Starting from the beautiful park with natural streams and fountain. To the church and restaurant, to the amazing views at the beach and of course the amazing peacocks that live there. Also a great place to take many pictures of or just chill under the shadows of the trees. 🫰
