Hotels in Struga

Struga is an old settlement dating from the Neolithic period. In Antiquity, Struga benefited greatly from being located on Via Egnatia, the road connecting the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. The old name of Struga was Enhalon, which in means eel.

Struga is the capital of poetry and one of the cradles of the Macedonian spiritual revival in the 19th century, for it is the birthplace of the outstanding poets and educators, the brothers Dimitrija and Konstantin Miladinov.

Here, one is charmed by the source of the river Crn Drim, which flows into Lake Ohrid and runs across it, only to emerge again with its clear and greenish water, and beautify the already delightful town of Struga.

At the spectacular poetic event entitled "Bridges", poets read their works from the bridge under which the River Crni Drim flows out of Lake Ohrid, before an audience of some ten thousand people. Some of the greatest poets of the world are recipients of the Golden Wreath, the highest accolade of the festival.
