Sweet spot: March, April, May. Computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
💡 Good to know
- Lake Ohrid is swimmable, boat taxis run to the cliff monastery at Kaneo, and the Heraclea mosaics bake gently rather than brutally.
- Ohrid's summer festival fills the ancient theatre and the lakefront promenades — book lake-view rooms well ahead.
