Trpejca is a scenic village nestled at the foot of the Galicica Mountain along the shore of Lake Ohrid in North Macedonia. Traditionally a humble fishing village with about 303 residents, it has transformed into an upscale vacation destination heavily reliant on summer tourism.

Here is what 3 days in Ohrid look like when the planner builds them - arriving at noon on the first day and flying home at noon on the last. Stops are grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, and the same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.
The route assumes the first day starts at noon, after you land, and the last ends at noon, before your flight. It is an example: with your dates the planner builds a route around your landing and your flight home, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
