Tips for Visiting Saint Panteleimon#
- Visit Saint Panteleimon in the quieter early morning or late afternoon for views over Lake Ohrid and to avoid mid-day cruise-ship crowds that concentrate around the shoreline sites.
- Enter via the Plaošnik/old town walkway and look for information panels about the church's restoration - the fresco fragments and views over the bay are often overlooked by passersby.
