Its natural and cultural attributes have made it the tourist capital of the country. Ohrid Lake, surrounded with various beaches and byzantine monasteries, is one of the biggest attractions of the Balkans. The town of Ohrid and its surroundings have been declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979 for its natural values ​​and in 1980 for its cultural and historical values.

Every year the famous Ohrid Swimming Marathon takes place in Ohrid Lake. Professional swimmers from all over the world travel to represent their country in this competition.
