Why visit
Use Ohrid as a focused stop for archaeological remains and older urban layers, the relationship between settlement and surrounding landscape. For Ohrid, the route should stay tight enough that streets and institutions can be compared directly. A useful visit should work from a few anchors rather than from a long itinerary. The streets around the main site often explain the place as clearly as the site itself. This keeps the itinerary useful without turning it into a race between unrelated places.
When to avoid
Do not visit Ohrid expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. The map of Ohrid is only half the problem. Hours, heat, rain, crowds, and transport decide what is realistic. For Ohrid, group stops tightly, verify hours, and use a ride when transit, darkness, or neighborhood conditions make that wiser. If the main interest is one nearby site, it may be better to treat Ohrid as a base rather than the whole destination.
