About Struga

Struga is the most poetically celebrated town in North Macedonia and the most enchanting small lakeside city at the southern end of Lake Ohrid -- a town of 16,000 inhabitants 202km southwest of Skopje Airport where the Crni Drim River flows out of Lake Ohrid, whose extraordinary combination of the Struga Poetry Evenings (the most important and most internationally celebrated poetry festival in the entire Balkans -- the Struskata Veceri na Poezijata, established 1962, the longest-running international poetry festival in southeastern Europe, awarding the Golden Wreath -- the most prestigious single poetry prize in the Slavic world and one of the most coveted poetry awards in Europe, given annually to the greatest living poet in the world as judged by an international jury, recipients including WH Auden, Pablo Neruda, Allen Ginsberg, Yevgeny Yevtushenko and every major poet of the 20th century, making Struga the most consistently poetically distinguished small town in the world relative to its size) and the extraordinary lakeside position at the Ohrid outflow (Struga sits precisely where Lake Ohrid -- the most ancient lake in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site -- empties into the Crni Drim River, the most hydrologically significant single point on the lake, the most scenically gracious town position of any settlement on the Ohrid shoreline, its white stone waterfront the most completely Mediterranean-feeling townscape in North Macedonia) give it a poetic and natural heritage of world literary significance.

Struga's most important heritage attractions are the Struga Museum (the most important historical collection on the southwestern Macedonian lake shore, the most complete documentation of the Albanian and Macedonian cultural heritage of the Ohrid-Drim basin), the birthplace of the Miladinov Brothers (Struga is the birthplace of Dimitar and Konstantin Miladinov -- the most important collectors of Macedonian folk poetry in the 19th century, the brothers whose 'Bulgarian Folk Songs' collection of 1861 is the most important single compilation of folk poetry in Macedonian cultural history, the most consequential single act of Macedonian cultural documentation in the National Revival period, giving Struga the most direct biographical connection to the founding of Macedonian literary scholarship) and the Church of the Holy Resurrection (the most completely preserved medieval church in the Struga area, its frescoes the most important Byzantine religious paintings in the immediate Struga district). The Crni Drim River fishing and the Ohrid lakefront (the most beautifully maintained lakeside promenade in the Struga area, the most atmospheric evening waterfront in the Ohrid-Struga tourism zone) and the proximity to the Albanian border (Struga is the most important crossing point between North Macedonia and Albania on the Ohrid-Drim corridor) give the town a natural and cultural identity of great completeness.
