Struga
Струга
A small town on the north shore of Lake Ohrid where the Black Drin river flows out of the lake, with small bridges across the river, and the venue of the famous international poetry festival
The town spreads along both banks of the Black Drin, and the riverside walkway and lakeside beach are popular summer leisure spots. The 'Struga Poetry Evenings' held every August are among the oldest international poetry festivals in the world. The Miladinov Brothers Memorial in town is worth a visit. It is about 15 km from Ohrid, with convenient shuttle buses and taxis, and can be combined with Kališta and Radožda cave churches.
