Every year, over a million tourists visit the Italian region of Lombardy to see Lake Como and its luxurious villas. However, there are dozens of other incredible lake landscapes on the continent waiting for tourists. This is reported by TimeOut.
The publication reported on Lake Ohrid, which stretches between Albania and North Macedonia. It has been recognized as the most beautiful place in Europe by travel journalists from Time Out.
"While Lake Como attracts both A-list celebrities and throngs of tourists, Lake Ohrid - one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe - offers a more tranquil and accessible alternative, without compromising on the beauty of its landscapes. Imagine mirror-blue waters, mountainous backdrops, and a shoreline dotted with historic towns, seemingly frozen in time," the article adds.
At the same time, on the North Macedonian side, the main role is played by the city of Ohrid, located on the shores of the lake, with its cobblestone streets, hundreds of medieval churches, and terracotta roofs descending to the water. "Here, you can spend the day swimming and exploring ancient ruins, and in the evening, watch the sunset behind the mountains - all without the staggering prices of Lombardy," the publication emphasized. If you cross to the Albanian side, you will see more rugged landscapes and sleepy villages. In particular, the village of Lin has ruins with mosaics and picturesque campsites that can be booked by the water along with sun loungers.
