Totul a fost minunat, începând de la gazde care ne-au primit cu bratele deschise pana la mâncare sau cazarea superba cu vedere spre lac.
Recomand cu drag!

Z dala od tłumu turystów, cisza, piękne widoki
Życzliwość gospodarzy, pyszne śniadanie przygotowane dla nas. Cudowny widok z dużego tarasu na jezioro ochrydzkie. Wąskie uliczki, bliskość natury. Można było zaobserwować życie lokalnej społeczności.
