7. Location and Venue
The City of Struga
Struga is a town and popular tourist destination situated in the southwestern region of the
Republic
of
Macedonia,
lying on the shore of Lake
Ohrid. Struga is also a
place of important cultural
significance in the Republic
of Macedonia, as it is the
birthplace of the poets
Konstantin
and
Dimitar
Miladinov. The main event
of the cultural life in Struga
is the world’s largest poetry
gathering. Every August at
the Poetry Bridge are held the Struga Poetry Evenings visited by poets, writers and artists from
all around the world.
There are several cultural monuments in Struga and in its vicinity such as the Monsatery of
Kalista, a few kilometres away from the town center, lying on the shore of Lake Ohrid. It is
believed that it dates from the 16th century, with frescoes from the 14th and the 15th centuries.
The Church St. Mary in the village of Vranista, is believed to be the one where Tsar Samuel was
crowned. The church has many doors and far fewer windows and often the people call it “the
king’s church” especially at nighttime when it’s cold.
Struga’s location on Lake Ohrid makes it a slightly quieter and more peaceful experience that
the more bustling Ohrid. When visiting this quiet town of the Republic of Macedonia, there are a
few other places that show the beauty and culture, the old Struga bazaar, the century old
churches and mosques. Before the evenings, you can enjoy on 3 kinds of beaches called Malle
beach, Female beach and the most beautiful called Galeb, located just before the estuary of the
river Srn Drim in its own flow, and between the two previous beaches.
8. At night you can walk by the lake, by the river, or go at the most popular discos like Oaza,
Glamour, Alibi, Empire and others. There are also very beautiful bars and pubs located by the
lake, by the river and in the center of Struga.
Hotel Biser
Hotel Biser is situated right by the coast of Ohrid Lake, about five kilometres of the center of
Struga. The hotel itself overlies the rocks near the Monastery of Virgin Mary and fascinates and
delights with its unique beauty. The hotel is a typical model of the old Macedonian architecture
tending to keep up the national architectural features today.
