Hiya

We are travelling from Sarajevo to Ohrid mid-July but I'm not sure how is best to get there. I know there is a bus from Sarajevo to Skopje Tuesdays and Fridays at 18.30 (is this correct?) and then I suppose from Skopje we can take the bus to Ohrid... What would you suggest? We have train passes so it would be better if we can take the train for the majority of our journey. I know Ohrid is not accessible by train but it looks so beautiful and I really want to catch the Summer Festival.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thank you!!

For trainpass "victims" (besides the 2nd class Balkan Flexipass sold in Blakans all other trainpasses are a tourist ripp-off) the cheapest (well, you were ripped off once for railpass, no reason to pay extra) but not extremely convenient way is the Sarajevo-Beograd-Nis-Skopje train connection. Try to use Beograd-Skopje for the overnight travel. From Skopje on just use bus.
