A beautiful area with a lot to see and do. I highly recommend coming but making this an entire day excursion. Dress nicely for the monastery but bring a change of clothes and enjoy the beach and restaurants in that same area.

Yeah, it’s a nice monastery but if you saw the one in Ohrid which in my opinion is in a much better setting with much less tourists you can skip this one. You can feel that everything there was made to make money of people gift shops, expensive restaurants, paid parking, boat trips, etc. A lot of people are all around the place.

Great magical place! You can meet even peacocks in the area. This is the first monastery I’ve visited where I saw peacocks Statue of St Naum is new from the real “alive” tree with roots inside. You should visit all churches in area. It’s amazing to walk around through rivers, forest with dragonflies and singing of birds.

The number one place to visit in Ohrid. The beauty and majesty of this special place is beyond words to describe. You must visit the Monastery of St. Naum to experience it. The drive with a car or taking a boat over, both options are scenic and gorgeous. Few details: Breathtaking view on the lake, parking 50 denars, toilet 20den, lot of nice gift shops and jewelry, good restaurants (I recommend Ostrovo), boat toar 🛶 on the springs, green park, beach.

Beautiful place and free entry. Unfortunately the water fixtures in the garden weren’t working when we were here. I heard this place was on the cover of the National Geographic… but honestly I liked the smaller church in Ohrid better. The views, however, are to die for. The color of the water just incredible.

I would give the beautiful springs that lead into the lake 5 stars. So clear water. The monastery church has lovely frescos but the outside is like any other medieval church of the times and not that much around it to make the monastery stand out aesthetically. The frescos inside are brilliant though but no Pictures allowed

(Translated by Google) The whole complex leaves you speechless. You are greeted by peacocks, and white peacocks are rare and as if all peacocks are aware of their beauty and captivate you to watch them for a long time. You enter through the wooden gates to the monastery. How to listen to Nahum's heart and those are the waves that hit the rocks under the monastery. The view of the lake amazes you and we always want to stay longer. We light a candle for health ... (Original) Целиот комплекс те остава без зборови. Те пречекуваат пауните, а и белите пауни се ретки и како сите пауни да се свесни за својата убавина и те пленат да ги гледаш подолго време. Влегуваш низ дрвените порти кон манастирот. Како да го слушаш срцето на Наум а тоа се брановите кои удираат во карпите под манастирот. Погледот кон езерото те восхитува и секогаш сакаме да останеме подолго. Запалуваме свеќа за здравје...

Beautiful place to visit. A must. Make sure you hire a row boat on the lake springs!! If you have a bathing suit take a dip in lake Ohrid.

(Translated by Google) I recommend (Original) Препоръчвам

Great place to spend the day. The monastery is amazing and the water on the beach was warm and shallow. There are a couple of restaurants to get food and drinks.

Absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. Untouched nature and beautiful churches. The monastery is located up the hill but u have to visit it if you are in the area. The road that leads here is in very bad condition,parking is cheap and the kiosks are expensive and the take cash only. Overall great experience and must visit if you are in Ohrid.

Serbian Orthodox Monastery from 10th century!🇷🇸☦

I would give 10 stars for the location and the view!! The only restaurant where you sit with fresh air… smoking is outside. 3 stars for the food. The food is average-bad… not so fresh vegetables in the salad, the meat is under average. The prices are 10% higher than the town restaurants in Ohrid. I would drink only bear and enjoy the view..

Be aware of peacocks. :D You will see this sign anywhere in St. Naum. But actually if you don't harm or scare them, they do nothing. On the other hand, this place is fabulous. Lake looks like sea and it is full of with peace. There is also a restaurant and some souvenirs. If you don't have your private car, you may use shuttle bus from center.

Beautiful and super clean

(Translated by Google) A place where all the beauty of God can be seen in one place (Original) Место каде на едно место се гледа сета Божја убавина

Such a beautiful place which is really worth visiting. Around the Monastery, you can see the springs, beautiful clear water of the lake as well as the beach and mountains. So picturesque

Beautiful old monastery dating back to the 10th century. It’s perfect for a whole summer day with the family and friends. Other than the monastery itself, walking the surrounding and gardens is really beautiful, offering great views of Ohrid lake. Additionally you have a nice beach so don’t forget to bring your bathing suit and picnic basket for a perfect day. There are many restaurants and booths selling touristy souvenirs if you care for that. מומלץ מאד לבלות לפחות חצי יום באיזור כולל רחצה באגם ופיקניק על החוף. ממש יפה שם!

The boat tour through the river is a magical experience. The water is so calm and clean. The nature is well preserved.

It'about 30km from Ohrid. You can go by car, there is huge parking place that costs about 1.5€. There are small beaches, souvenir shops, restaurants, cafe bars. Organized tour with bouts that costs 15€. Wonderful views.

A beautiful monastery on the shore of lake Ohrid, in a calm area, not so far away from the city of Ohrid. The monastery was built around 893-900, when it was still part of the First Bulgarian Empire. It houses the rains of Saint Naum Ohridski, from where it derives the monastery's name. You can see some peacocks walking casually around, being used to human presence, which are great for pictures.

Beautiful ancient monastary. The entrance fee is 150 denars. In the garden, which is free there are peacocks wandering around. A little bit random.

The Monastery of Saint Naum is a hidden gem! 🌟 Nestled by Lake Ohrid, it offers tranquility, stunning views, and a glimpse into Macedonian history. 5 stars for this peaceful and picturesque spot!

The location of this monastery is lovely. Nice views of the lake. Short 2km hike to see other monasteries and the springs.

The Monastery of Saint Naum in Ohrid is a serene haven that effortlessly blends spirituality with natural beauty. Nestled along the shores of Lake Ohrid, its picturesque setting adds to the tranquil ambiance. The monastery's architecture, adorned with ancient frescoes, is a testament to historical richness. As you stroll through the peaceful grounds, the panoramic view of the lake creates a sense of timelessness. Whether you seek cultural immersion, spiritual reflection, or simply a moment of quiet by the water, Saint Naum's Monastery offers a captivating escape, making it a must-visit destination in the enchanting city of Ohrid.

Cute place with stong energy. Beautiful monastery, great beach near monastery, fantastic river Crni Drim. Must visit!

One of the best monastery in Macedonia, the location itself is amazing and the scenery is breathtaking. Must visit if you are near Ohrid, there is also a beach nearby.

Amazing place with a very beautiful environment with a beautiful source of the river Drim and across the street a magnificent monastery with a beautiful view of the lake. and finally a beautiful long sandy beach with many fine restourants.

Peacefully located on Lake Ohrid, the perfect location to visit the monastery and churches within the compound. You could spend a full day with the amount of sites to see and varying restaurants.

Historic monastery, with hotel and restaurant, with good views to the Ohrid lake. The is a beach next to it.

Fantastic place. There is a reason why it is flooded by many tourists. I was fortunate enough to visit in early June and had a very small crowd. It is super rich in history and has spectacular views. Definitely would recommend if you are in Ohrid and looking for something to do.

As you walk towards the monastery, you will come across a beautiful water spring which feeds Lake Ohrid. Christal clear water with trouts swimming against the current. Monastery from 10th century in great condition with breathtaking view of the lake.

A beautiful place to enjoy with friends or family. Good service, nice staff ... They even play with the children while carrying the orders.

We were here in the early morning and it was not that busy. The monastery is beautiful and unique. But don't go with the boat ride to the spring were a church is built on top of. The boat trip is 30 minutes and all boats men asked between 17 and 20 euro. Which is absurd. So we didn't go. But we found a path that starts at the camping and is a 10 minute walk to the same spring were all the boats stop. The price is a total rip-off for such a short trip. Such a shame for such a nice place

Sv.Naum Monastery first build in 905 The Monastery of St. Naum is a magnificently massive complex, located 29 kilometers south of Ohrid,. It is, without any doubt, one of the most attractive Macedonian tourist destinations. With a wonderful surrounding area, the St. Naum Monastery is a popular day trip where you can enjoy both nature and religious heritage. The original monastery was built on this very same plateau, in 905 by Saint Naum of Ohrid himself. Taken down between the 11th and 13th century, the monastery was then rebuilt in the 16th century as the multidomed byzantine structure that you see today. St. Naum of Ohrid (Sveti Naum in Macedonian), was a medieval scholar and writer, who together with Saint Clement continued the task of spreading Christianity among the Slavic speaking people of the region. Building upon the work of the sainted brothers Cyril and Methodius, St. Naum is associated with the creation of the Glagolitic and Cyrillic scripts. Known as a living saint for the many miracles he performed, St. Naum of Ohrid died in 910, at the old age of 80, and was buried inside the monastery. Myths and legends say that you can bring your ear to the stone coffin and hear his heartbeat even today. The tourist guides, on the other hand, will tell you that it’s the water of Lake Ohrid crushing against the rock formation down below. This is one of the first monuments of Slavic church architecture, built during byzantine times. Stretching for several kilometers the site nearby is known as the springs. With huge pockets of water, changing color as the vegetation grows, it is one of the most surreal places in the Ohrid region . The springs almost connect the two lakes under the Galicica Mountain, esnetially bringing water from the Lake of Prespa, feeding the Black Drin River (Black Drim). The area resembles South American swamps, only much more picturesque, with crystal clear water. How to get to the Monastery of St. Naum Arrive to the monastery with a boat. Catch a bus from Ohrid Or drive from Ohrid

Park at the entrance of the resort, which is very fairly priced. Then go up to the monastery, admire the interior painting of the church, appreciate the views and maybe the peacocks as well.

It’s a really nice place! Not just monastery but all the territory looks so beautiful 😍 Also I highly recommend you to take a boat trip in the pond with geyser springs

Don't order the lemonade in the restaurant, they brought it to me full of flies (pic included), which wasn't the best start to a meal I've had... the food was good, but I couldn't get away from the thought of the lack of hygiene, I was slightly confused as to if they didn't notice or didn't care, either is pretty awful... however our waiter was a lovely lovely man, and the place is obviously gorgeous.

Magical place worth the 40 minutes trip from Ohrid. Perfect views especially during sunset. Very calm and peaceful, almost serene place. There is also a little sandy beach that you can take a swim on. The peacock eas super patient when taking pictures of it, however be aware as they can be harmful. 10/10 place.

Visit it on a sunny day, in the early morning or early noon.. when there are not many people. Friendly boatmen offer transportation along the springs of the crystal clear river that flows into the lake. Very beautiful places.

Large monastery located on the bank of Lake Ohrid. You can take a boat from Ohrid or drive. They have peacocks that roam the monastery so use caution as these animals can be aggressive. You can take boat cruises up the natural freshwater spring, spend time at the beach and enjoy the amazing views. There are numerous restaurants where there are tortoises in the garden area. They also sell souvenirs.

As you walk towards the monastery, you will come across a beautiful water spring which feeds Lake Ohrid. Christal clear water with trouts swimming against the current. Monastery is places an awesome place where feeling is like mountain breaches the lake. Wild nature and peace. Definitely strongly recommended!

Beautiful church with religious paintings covering the interior walls present an imaged of religious subjects centuries old. The setting of the church on a hill overlooking Lake Orhid just amplifies the beauty.

Holy place, beautiful, had also peacocks. It has a small river, its springs were close, so you can rent a boat and sail to them. Ohrid lake has a crystal clear water and the beach there is great sandy.

It’s a must visit if you’re in the vicinity of Ohrid. It offers beautiful views to the lake and the main attraction besides the medieval chapel and cafes are the showstoppers with their colorful feathers. Check video

If you’ve opted for any kind of your in the area you’ll be brought to this sprawling monastery and tourist hotspot. There are plenty of devout Orthodox Christian’s kissing icons, backing out of churches and chucking money in water but there are many more tourists. Lots of opportunities to spend - boat rides up the holy springs, souvenirs, restaurants…. Some surprising wildlife, the peacocks, long earred squirrels, tortoises and snakes. You can walk to the holy spring church and you’ll pass a field if abandoned caravans which I enjoyed. A cool space to spend a few hours. The main church at the monastery is an ancient space that feels special.

Beautiful monastery in a picturesque village. If you are looking for a day trip destination from Ohrid city, St. Naum may be something for you. Just note that the monastery in St. Naum is very similar to the architecture of the church buildings in Ohrid. We came from Ohrid by car (the road is tricky in some parts). There is sufficient parking space at entrance of St. Naum (costs a small amount to park there).

Beautiful old place , monastery of Shen Naum is an orthodoks monastery ,situated 29 km far from Ohrid city. It is believed that the grave of Shen Naum is there in the church. I loved the visit there 😍

You can only reach this monastery by boat. It is a beautiful area with a picturesque beach. It cost around 100Den to enter which is about 70p

Amazing view and spritual visit. To bad locals and tourists don't respect the rules of no photo inside the monestary building. Not all things are ment to be caught on record, some things are just ment to be seen and treasured for moments.

Stunning monastry, garden, panorama, beach. Right at entrance start the national park and boat trip part. Its worth to visit both!

Beautiful monastery 😍 but beach is very dirty and there is no place to put your towels, there is only deckchair that you must pay 5-10€ I recommend taking a boat ride around the springs for 5€, it’s worth it

(Translated by Google) Great place (Original) Super mjesto

(Translated by Google) A monastery of great historical value! A place where Nahum spread the Slavic script. Peacocks are very beautiful, but they can also be aggressive. Be careful! (Original) Манастир с огромна историческа стойност! Място,където Наум е разпространявал славянската писменост. Пауните са много красиви,но могат да бъдат и агресивни.Внимавайте!

(Translated by Google) A very interesting place, but in high season there are crowds of tourists. It is worth spending a few hours walking around the entire complex. (Original) Bardzo ciekawe miejsce ale w sezonie są tam tłumy turystów. Warto poświęcić kilka godzin na spacer po całym kompleksie.

Amazing place☺️

In my opinion it's the second best monastery in North Macedonia behind Saint Jovan. The place is absolutely wonderful. A gift for the eyes. There is also some animals like peacocks. The only thing i dislike is the overpriced restaurants. Other than that the place is paradise.

(Translated by Google) A nice place. (Original) Güzel bir yer.

Spirit

One of the most beautiful views around Ohrid. You can rent a boat and see some lagoons with the purest water you could ever see. There are restaurants around and you can go by car and park it at the entrance of the monastery. Definitely worth seeing.

Beautiful historical location

(Translated by Google) Beautifully blessed place! (Original) Preubavo blagosloveno mesto!

If you are anywhere near Ohrid, this place is a must visit. Visiting the Monastery of Saint Naum is perhaps one of the most exciting adventures you will have in the Ohrid region and Macedonia. It is one of the most popular and attractive tourist destinations in Macedonia where you can enjoy both nature and religious heritage. You can also enjoy the peacocks decorating the garden, while enjoying the lake view.

All of the restaurants and shops are currently closed since it is not high season, but the Monastery itself is currently open. The grounds are beautiful, and there are also exquisite peacocks roaming about. You can enter and see the Monastery from the outside for free, otherwise you can pay 100 denar to enter the Monastery itself.

Its a great place, easy to find. Locals are very friendly. The Monastery has great view and as well you can find aroun some great Bars and Restaurants.

Beautiful orthodox church on Ohrid lake.

Amazing and lovely place. For us it was a big surprise, that Monastery it’s not only religious place, but also place there people come with their family for vacations to spend time. Very beautiful nature and everything around. Also good cafes and restaurants. Very nice!

A beautiful place, full of history, but also for relaxation and enjoyment.

Historical place with nice view. Water leking from upper lake create beautiful pools which you can visit on the boat.

Beautifully renovated last few years. There is amazing progress since my last visit 6 or 7 years ago. Nice place to visit, walk, eat and buy some gifts from the region.

Its a monastery which is very old. Overall the place itself is very well preserved and the area is very green. There are 2 fountains , a large garden and lots of peacocks .Lovely place to visit at least once

(Translated by Google) Saint Naum is an Orthodox monastery in the Republic of Macedonia, on the shores of Lake Ohrid, 29 km from the city of Ohrid and 12 km from Pogradec. From the agreement in 1924-25, the monastery passed to the then Yugoslavia and Albania took a village and the lands of the villages: Tushemisht Podgorican and Halamja; in addition, the Yugoslav border ran 13 km from the Korça-Pogradec road. (Original) Shen Naumi është manastir ortodoks në Republiken e Maqedonise, buzë liqenit te Ohrit 29 km nga qyteti i Ohrit dhe 12 km nga Pogradeci. Nga marreveshja ne vitet 1924-25, manastiri I kaloi jugosllavise se atehershme dhe Shqipëria merrte një katund dhe tokat e katundeve: Tushemisht Podgoriçan dhe Halamja; përveç këtyre, kufiri jugosllav largohej nga rruga Korçë-Pogradec 13 km.

Beautiful building and spot. If you walk from Albania, don't take a shortcut through the campsite. It is military property (!) even though it looks abandoned.

Quite and nice place also for relax

Try restaurant ostrovo.

One of the most beautiful monasteries with an overview of lake Ohrid. The nature is wonderful and the monastry is spectacular, both from inside and outside. Try visiting during workdays, as it can be crowded during the weekends. If you are near Ohrid, do not miss visiting St. Naum.

(Translated by Google) I am not a believer, but I evaluate the sacred monuments of Macedonia in terms of their blending with the surroundings. Here, the place is beautiful and, in addition, there is probably the best beach on the Macedonian side of the lake. It may be difficult, but it should be worth coming here (Original) Nie jestem osobą wierząca ale sakralne zabytki Macedonii oceniam pod kątem ich komponowania się z otoczeniem. Tutaj miejsce jest przepiękne a dodatkowo jest tu chyba najlepsza plaża po macedońskiej stronie jeziora. Może być trudno, ale na powinno warto tu przyjechać

Beautiful grounds and monastery, although does feel a little commercialised. Well worth visiting if in Ohrid
