There are millions reasons to visit Ohrid; like 365 churches and monasteries for each day of the year, its unique flora and fauna characteristic of the tertiary period (2-4 million years ago), the masterpieces of local craftsmen… and the rest of them you will discover yourself. In one of the most beautiful landscapes on the coast of Lake Ohrid, there are natural caves situated one above the other, high in the rocks, hidden from the eyes of the tourists. Here, in all the different caves, many hermits lived and practiced mysticism, miracles and prophecy. By painting the caves they were telling the truth of God.
