Questions and answers
Everything guests usually ask us before they book: where we are, how to get here, prices, parking, pets and how booking direct works.
Where is the best place to stay in Ohrid?
The old town is the best place to stay in Ohrid, because the lake, the main square, the churches and most restaurants are all within walking distance. Our two apartments are in a traditional house in the old town, two minutes on foot from the main square and three from the lake shore, so you can leave the car at the house for your whole stay.
How far are the apartments from the lake and the old town?
The apartments are in the old town itself: the main square is a two-minute walk and the lake shore three minutes. The Church of St. Sophia, the Ancient Theatre, Samuel's Fortress, Plaošnik and the Church of St. John at Kaneo are all within walking distance along the cobbled lanes.
How do I get from Ohrid airport to the apartments?
Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport is about 10 km north of the town, and a taxi takes around 15 minutes. Tell us when you land and we will tell you the easiest way to reach the house and where to park or stop.
How do I get to Ohrid from Skopje?
Ohrid is about 170 km from Skopje, about two and a half hours by car. Buses also leave from the main bus station in Skopje several times a day and arrive at the bus station in Ohrid, a short taxi ride from the house.
How do I get to Ohrid from Tirana?
Ohrid is about 130 km from Tirana, about two and a half hours by car through the border crossing at Qafë Thanë and Struga. There are also buses and shared minibuses between Tirana and Ohrid; ask us and we will help you plan the trip.
Is there parking at the apartments?
Yes, parking is free at the house. You don't need to look for a space in the old town, where parking is scarce in summer.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, small and medium-sized pets are welcome in both apartments; large pets are not. Please tell us about your pet when you send your booking request. Our own pets also live in the house.
How much does an apartment in Ohrid cost per night?
Our apartments cost between €40 and €75 per night, depending on the season, and the price is for the whole apartment, not per person. Pick your dates on an apartment's calendar to see the price for your stay. Stays of 7 nights or more get 5% off, 30 nights or more 10% off, and arrivals today or tomorrow 10% off.
How many guests can stay in an apartment?
Each apartment is for up to two guests and has one bedroom with a double bed. In Apartment M the sofa can also be used for sleeping, but it is only big enough for a child.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00. We meet you in person when you arrive, and if you arrive early or leave late you can leave your luggage with us.
How do I book directly and how do I pay?
Pick your dates on an apartment's calendar and send a booking request; nothing is booked or paid on the website. We reply personally, usually within 24 hours, to confirm your dates, the final price and how to pay. Both apartments are also listed on Airbnb and Booking.com if you prefer to book there.
What is the best time to visit Ohrid?
The best time to visit Ohrid for swimming is from June to September, when the lake is warm. July and August are the busiest months, with the Ohrid Summer Festival of music and theatre. May, June and September are quieter and still warm, and they are good months for walking and sightseeing.
Are there beaches near the apartments?
Yes, there are small beaches along the shore below the old town, including the one at Kaneo, all within walking distance. Larger beaches such as Lagadin and Peštani are south of the town along the lake, a short drive or bus ride away.
Can I stay for a week or a month?
Yes, longer stays are welcome and get a discount: 5% off from 7 nights and 10% off from 30 nights. Both apartments have a full kitchen and a washing machine, and the minimum stay is one night.
