Full-Day Private Bitola Tour from Ohrid

Full-Day Private Bitola Tour from Ohrid

Explore the Macedonian city of Bitola on this private full-day guided tour from Ohrid. Visit Heraclea Lyncestis, an important settlement founded in the middle of the 4th century BC, noted for its well-preserved floor mosaics; explore thousands of years worth of monuments, and admire the neoclassical architecture of the pedestrian street Shirok Sokak. This tour operates with just your group (maximum eight people) and a private driver/guide.

Your day begins with a 9am pickup from your Ohrid accommodations, or any other preferred location in the city. Board the comfortable air-conditioned car or minivan and drive about 1.5 hours to Bitola.

Upon arrival in Bitola your driver/guide offers an introduction to the city’s history and leads you to the ancient settlement of Heraclea Lynceststis to admire its well-preserved floor mosaics, fine examples of early Christian art.

After the visit to Heraclea Lynceststis, drive by the City Park to the City Museum from where you embark on a walking tour along the pedestrian street of Shirok Sokak. While walking, admire the colorful neoclassical buildings, housing cafes and restaurants. There is time to sample some local bites or just relax with a coffee while people watching (at own expense).

The tour continues to the Old Bazaar, from where you walk to the Green Market, passing by such historic sites as the Clock Tower and Yeni Mosque. At the Green Market, where the tour concludes, don't miss your chance to buy a traditional pepper necklace or to stock up on some fresh, organic produce.

Your day ends with a drop-off back at your accommodations in Ohrid.
