Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport — Ohrid, North Macedonia

Lake Ohrid, among the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe, gives its shores a density of Byzantine churches and monasteries that has earned the city of Ohrid comparisons to Jerusalem for its concentration of religious heritage, a legacy the airport's name nods to by honoring St. Paul the Apostle and the region's early Christian history. Carrying the code OHD, the airport sits at over 2,300 feet elevation in mountainous southwestern North Macedonia, considerably higher than most European coastal or lakeside airports, and serves a city whose old town earned UNESCO World Heritage recognition for both its natural and cultural significance. Seasonal charter flights bring tourists from across Europe during the warmer months, when Lake Ohrid's clear waters and surrounding hills draw visitors for swimming, hiking, and exploring medieval fortifications overlooking the water. Traffic through OHD drops sharply outside peak season, reflecting its dependence on leisure tourism.
