Trpejca
Трпејца
One of the few traditional fishing villages left on the east shore of Lake Ohrid, with white-walled, red-tiled houses nestled at the foot of the mountains and clear bays with beaches, nicknamed the 'St. Tropez of Macedonia'
The village has only a few dozen households. Its lake shore is clear and quiet, and you can rent a small boat to visit the nearby Church of St. Zaum and the rock caves. The village has several lakeside restaurants, and local lake fish are recommended (Ohrid trout is protected and may not be fished, so restaurants mostly serve farmed or other lake fish). It lies about 20 km from Ohrid, right beside the road to St. Naum, and is ideal for a half-day swim.
