You'll learn new cooking techniques that can easily be repeated at home. I was fortunate enough to grow up among the best cooks, my grandmother and my mother. Let the food be our language. I will introduce you how the ingredients can be made at home. In the past times people didn't have many ingredients and used their skills to make the best possible meal. The most important thing in Macedonian cuisine is that the dishes are made from only a few ingredients and you must use your imagination to make the testiest dish from the available products. Vegetarians are welcomed. Please let me know in advance if you have any dietary restrictions.

Monastery Winery Tour and Wine Tasting

Beautiful location, fantastic wines, lovely friendly people

Beautiful location, fantastic wines, lovely friendly people. A really lovely experience and great value for money. Also, pick up from the town centre was really easy and we got dropped back near where we staying in the old town. Couldn't fault a thing about the tour!

1.5 Hour Ohrid Lake Sunset Cruise

Troy_A, Aug 2026

Lovely trip!

Fair price and lovely trip. Arrive 20 minutes early for picking your seat, but truthfully all the seats on the upper deck are good ones, and no one had to sit below. We were served the complimentary drink quickly, before leaving the dock so we had plenty of time for another or two during the trip. You pay for additional drinks at the normal prices for the area. The sunset and views were excellent and the trip was the perfect amount of time.

Shared Cruise to St.Naum Monastery

Caren_W, Jul 2026

Great day out.

Great, friendly staff. Reasonably priced drinks on board. No guide or commentary, but if you've done your homework beforehand you'll know about the place/s you're visiting. Bay of Bones is a quick 20 min ish stop. Interesting archeology but you won't be missing a great deal if you look at it from the landing stage. 150mkd, just over £2 to have a look. St Naum was nice. 150mkd to get in the main church, we wandered in with a group. Its very beautiful inside but you'll literally be in there for minutes as its very small. You can get a row boat ride 300mkd pp on the fresh water lake that's fed from the mountains. Never in my life have I seen such clear water. Lake water is totally drinkable. Take your swim things as you'll definitely have time for a swim in the lake. There are restaurants but we took our own lunch as didn't know what waiting time for meals were. All in all we found it a great trip. €20 pp if booked in ohrid as opposed to €45 with tui. Row boat ride included with tui.

More Than a Cooking Class, A Core Memory

This was one of the most special experiences of my trip. Because it was so close to Easter, it ended up being a private 1-on-1 experience, which made it even more personal and meaningful. Sonja welcomed me into her home like family, and I was lucky enough to also meet her mother and mother-in-law, which made it feel even more authentic. We cooked together in her apartment kitchen, completely hands-on, with coffee, conversation, and so much warmth. It didn’t feel like a class at all, more like spending time with family, learning, laughing, and sharing stories. Her husband even kindly picked me up and later we all enjoyed a beautiful walk back into town together. If you’re looking for something real, personal, and full of heart in Ohrid, this is it. A truly unforgettable experience.
