Car Samoil's Castle Tours

Car Samoils Castle played a key defensive role over the years. Now a historic attraction, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its fortified walls have witnessed.

This history-filled fortress is one of the top sights in Varosh. However, it's not the only place worth visiting in the area. Once you've paid the entrance fee and spent some time at Car Samoils Castle, take a look at nearby Church of St. John at Kaneo, Plaošnik and Sveti Kliment Ohridski.

9/10 Wonderful! (38 reviews)
Excellent view across lake Ohrid. The owner ‘Mr Chingo’ was extremely helpful and dropped us to the bus station when our taxi didn’t arrive.

St. Clement and Panteleimon Church
If you have ever seen an image of the Republic of North-Macedonia, it will almost certainly be of the cute little church of St Jovan Kaneo on a clifftop rising up from Lake Ohrid. That lake is one of the oldest in the world, almost certainly the oldest in Europe, and among the deepest too. Not surprisingly, it has a rich history and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. #GreatOutdoors #Perspectives #Culture #LocalSecrets
