From airport to location
The Church of Saint John the Theologian (Sveti Jovan Kaneo), dramatically situated on a cliff above Lake Ohrid, is one of North Macedonia's most iconic sights. It is accessible via a picturesque walk along the lakeside path from Ohrid Old Town, involving some stairs to reach the church itself, or by boat taxi; individuals with significant mobility limitations may find access challenging. Visitors can explore solo to enjoy the breathtaking views and exterior, though a guided tour offers deeper insights into its Byzantine art and rich history. While generally open year-round, the exterior views are free, with a modest entrance fee (approx. 2-3 EUR) typically required to enter the interior. A typical visit lasts 30-60 minutes, allowing ample time for photography, especially during the golden hours of sunrise or sunset for unparalleled views. Dress respectfully if entering the interior.
