Get to Know Apostolis Karajanis
Since the age of 20, Apostolis has been looking for a way to promote the magnificent city of Ohrid to the world. After getting a Bachelor's degree in Tourism in Greece, he returned in 2012 to fulfil his dream, and became a professional tour guide, proudly and generously presenting the magic that the town has to offer to the world. That very same dream encouraged him to open a tour agency, and nowadays, after many years of work and experience, being a tour guide has remained the biggest passion of all for him. Once more, he has the opportunity to present the magnificent town that is Ohrid to you, with the same enthusiasm that he had with his very first tour.

Ohrid, the City of UNESCO: a Place Where History and Nature Combine
Feel free to join in on this tour together with Apostolis and explore the old city that is full of surprises. He will take you to the heart of the city, beginning from the top of the hill with the fortress of the Tsar Samuel from the XI century. From there, you will have the best view of one of the largest and clearest natural lakes in Europe, the lake of Ohrid. Next on the list will be the church of St. Clement (together with the archaeological excavation of the First Slavic university which is under restoration). Furthermore, he will take you to the oldest spot in the old city so far - the ancient theatre from the 2nd century B.C. Finally, the last stop will be the national papyrus workshop (handmade paper). The tour ends at the central square where the lake meets us again. Pretty interesting, isn't it?
Ohrid Springs - The Source Of The Lake, The Magic And The Myths
The lake of Ohrid is considered to be one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe. Its fame has reached all over the world, and even NASA named one of the lakes on Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, after it. Enjoy the walk through the small wooden bazaar, where you will feel the warmth of the local people. Apotolis will show you the largest springs, a divine place for magnificent postcards. In addition, you will be introduced to some of the unique species of fish as well as their history. He will tell you stories about the miracles of St. Naum - one of the disciples of Cyril and Methodius, and you will witness his greatest creation - the monastery he built by himself in the X century. If you haven't been to this place - now is the perfect opportunity to see what you have missed.

Apostolis enthusiasm is unique. He translates his love for tour guiding and for his city. I thought this tour was very complete: shops, history, gardens, kids areas, the lake. I loved it! Good if you are watching it with younger ones as its very light, relaxed tour.👏 Ill be joining more!

I enjoyed the tour! It's great to see the little-known places of Europe being explored even if it's just virtually. Now, I have more places to fill my bucket list! Will come back for more.
