Struga, Cultural heritage city in southwestern North Macedonia.
Located on Lake Ohrid at 675 meters elevation, Struga extends along both banks of the Crn Drim River through the Ohrid Valley.
The settlement, first mentioned in the 11th century as Enchalon, developed near the ancient Via Egnatia road during the Roman period.
The Struga Poetry Evenings festival, established in 1966, brings together international poets and Nobel Prize winners for literary celebrations.
The city operates a central bus station connecting to Skopje, Bitola, Ohrid, Belgrade, and Istanbul through regular domestic and international routes.
The Crn Drim River flows through the center of Struga, creating a natural division where local fishermen practice traditional eel catching methods.
