The ancient history concealed in Europe’s oldest lake - This was the tittle of documentary published in BBC Travel about the Lake Ohrid, the oldest lake in Europe.
The main interest for high visitors is the history of this region - says one of the interviewers for BBC.
"To the naked eye, Lake Ohrid’s charm lies in its alluring landscape above water – but its real beauty lies beneath the surface" says the Journalist of BBC Programme Travel Show.
She says that not only the Lake is so old, but the environment around is ancient too. Ohrid itself is a city created in the fourth century before Christ.
The citizens of Ohrid feel proud about the history of the area, and they are very aware of protection and promotion the values of Lake Ohrid Region.
BBC continues the report with a visit to Bay of Bones, which was created to call back the old times, the houses and the life during ancient times.
But the best part of the documentary is the amazing rich underwater archaeology of Lake Ohrid. You don't have to go very deep to see with your eyes some of the objects which belong to 3000 years ago.
The Journalist went diving with the specialists of Diving Center close to Bay of Bones, and they found some old objects, belonging to communities living by this lake for centuries. Worth mentioning that underwater Archaeology is totally unexplored on the other side of Lake Ohrid in Albania where valuable relics are thought to be found.
