You're standing at the Church of Saint John at Kaneo, perched on a cliff above Kaneo Beach. Below you stretches Lake Ohrid. Take a look at the church itself first. It's small and compact, built in the shape of a cross on a rectangular base, with a dome on top. Who designed it? Nobody knows anymore.
