Make the effort to get here from Ohrid, about 30 minutes by car. This beautiful monastary was begun in the 10th century as the the monastary St Archangel and St Naum was buried here upon his death. The views of the lake with the monastary from here are beautiful and well worth the trip. Entrance to the small monastary chapel is 100 denar. Also on the grounds are a statue of St Naum made of one piece of wood, a hotel and the springs are near by.

When at the monastary of St Naum, take a look inside the monastary St Archangel to take in the frescoes. Particularly interesting are those depicting the life and miracles of St Naum himself which are painted in the area of the chapel containing his tomb.

In your hurry to go in and see the beautiful monastary of Sv Naum, be sure to take the time to look up at the beautiful mosaic over the door to the monastary. I saw many people go right through this door and never look up.

Here it is another view of the St. Naum. From this point of view you can see Albanian border too.

It is some sort of a legend that says that the one who washes his eyes with the water that goes from under the chapel will never be blind.
Legend or not, I washed my eyes just in case.
