Bay of Bones
Залив на коските
A lake-village reconstruction of Bronze Age stilt houses based on archaeological finds, with wooden walkways reaching out over the bay, where you can also dive to see underwater remains.
Around 6,000 ancient wooden piles and large numbers of animal bones have been found on the lake bed here. The museum has reconstructed, as they originally looked, stilt-house settlements from roughly 1200–700 BC and a section of Roman fortress wall (Gradište). Tickets cost about 100 denars. In summer you can book a dive at the dive centre to see the underwater remains on the lake bed. It is located near Peshtani on the way from Ohrid to St. Naum, about 15 km away, and is often visited on the same day as St. Naum.
Opening hours
Summer approx. 09:00–19:00; winter approx. 09:00–16:00
