1/8

Peaceful site set just off a beach with views over Lake Ohrid
About a five-minute drive to Pogradec and an hour to Ohrid town
Watersports, fishing, bar, restaurant and lakeside sun loungers

Have yourself a hol on one of Europe’s lushest lakes with a stay at Camping Victoria, just off a beach on the banks of scenic Lake Ohrid with sunbeds aplenty to lie back on during balmier days. This UNESCO-registered body of water marks a boundary between Macedonia and Albania, with the park sitting in the latter nation’s county of Korçë about a five-minute drive from the pretty town of Pogradec. If touring the region's at the top of your itinerary, bikes are for hire from Camping Victoria. Use them to cart you off on a trip to the National Park of Drilon (20 minutes’ drive) for rests beside the clear-water springs that flow into Ohrid before traipsing along the town of Tushemisht’s cobbled streets right next door (and also 20 minutes away). Nearer to the park is the traditional village of Memëlisht with its handful of restaurants a 10-minute walk away; an eatery and bar are also on site if you’d rather stay put when it’s time to snack and sup. In fact, there’s no need to flit too far from this park for anything much at all – especially if your main aim is to lounge in the lake while gazing at mountain surrounds, fish for famed Ohrid brown trout or whizz across the water using the site’s sporty amenities. If you do want to explore further, a little to the east (half an hour’s drive) is the much-visited Saint Naum Monastery just over the border in Macedonia, a postcardworthy place built from pink-tinged bricks with wandering peacocks in its grounds.

Local attractions

Ohrid is by far the most famed town in this region (an hour away from the park by car) and is celebrated for sights such as the much-snapped Church of St John at Kaneo overlooking the lake. First settled in the prehistoric era, it’s also the home of many other structures from days of yore, from the 10th-century Samoil's Fortress to the medieval Orthodox Church of St Sophia with its displays of religious art. And if the sizable open-air amphitheatre built here back in about 200 BCE is anything to go by, the Greeks must have been fond of this area too... When you’re not watching a performance at this buzzy venue or ambling around admiring the other architecture, beaches on the lake’s shores are worth hunting out. Locate the one you like best – perhaps Labino or Potpesh – slather on the sun cream and soak up the rays before returning home to Camping Victoria via the Bay of Bones Museum (45 minutes) for a glance at archaeological artefacts unearthed from the region's first settlements.
