ABOUT THE CITY

There is truly no other like Struga. Set on the northern shore of Lake Ohrid where the River Crn Drim spills into its midtown channel, Struga blends lake-life ease with centuries of culture and a famously poetic soul. Its ancient name, Enhalon—Greek for “eel”—hints at millennia of fishing tradition, while the modern city offers promenades, pebble beaches, and a relaxed rhythm that makes weekend plans melt into weeklong stays. If you’re mapping things to do in Struga, picture evenings on the quay, boat rides to cliffside chapels, and dinners above glassy water swimming with swans.

Struga sits about 14 km from Ohrid, on the plain of the Struga Field, wrapped by mountains—Jablanica to the west, Karaorman to the northeast, Galicica to the southeast. The geography and proximity to the lake give Struga a gentle climate and a theatre of winds, from cool northerlies that drift along the Drim to the mountain strmec that whispers down at night. In summer, the water warms nicely, and the riverfront becomes the city’s open-air living room.
