We knew that Museum on the water is closed on Monday, but since it was on the way to St Naum Monastery, we gave it a try. And we were lucky enough to find a friendly guard, who opened it for us (entrance 150 MKD). In prehistoric times Lake Ohrid was home to a settlement of pile dwellers who lived literally on top of the water, on a platform supported by up to 10,000 wooden piles anchored to the lake bed. The remains of the settlement were discovered at this spot and were gradually excavated by an underwater team between 1997 and 2005. The museum is an elaborate reconstruction of the settlement as archaeologists think it would have looked between 1200 and 600 BC.
