1. Lake Ohrid: One of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes, Lake Ohrid is shared between Macedonia and Albania. It is renowned for its clear waters, unique biodiversity, and significant cultural heritage. The lake and its surroundings are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
2. Lake Prespa: Divided among Macedonia, Greece, and Albania, Lake Prespa is another ancient lake. It consists of two connected bodies of water: Great Prespa Lake and Small Prespa Lake. This lake is a crucial habitat for various bird species and other wildlife.
3. Lake Dojran: Located on the border between Macedonia and Greece, Lake Dojran is the smallest of the three major lakes. It is known for its mild climate and rich fishing grounds, especially for its traditional fish farming methods.
