Trpejca

Trpejca (Macedonian: Трпејца [tr̩ˈpɛjt͡sa]) is a village at the foot of the Galičica Mountain and along the shore of the Lake Ohrid in North Macedonia.

Traditionally a fishing village, it has recently become an upscale vacation spot relying heavily on tourism during the summer months.

In modern times it has become largely a tourist destination during the summer months with the locals relying less on fishing and more on tourism and hospitality.

With the forces of urbanisation at work the younger generation tend to reside in the cities of North Macedonia, mainly Ohrid and Skopje.

Others include Greeks, Albanians and ex pats coming back to North Macedonia for holiday from places such as Australia, Canada or the US.

Tourists and locals alike also engage in a wide range of activities such as Snorkelling, swimming, sunbathing, hiking, boating and fishing.
