The old man giving us a tour is delighted that we are so interested and offers us Raiki (a local brandy).<br><br>After some rain, a beautiful rainbow appears.

... country, but entirely different feel. Ohrid is clearly a tourist attraction, but seems to retain at least a touch of "local" life. Both the town and the lake are under the protection of UNESCO as sites of rare environmental, scientific and cultural significance.

His rooms were about 10 minutes out of town but he had a brother who owned a place right in the heart of the old city.
