There
is an asphalt road leading to the village of
Velestovo located 4-5 km from Ohrid. There is an
exceptional view from the village to the lake and to
the town of Ohrid. This is a main reason for the
demand of land lots and building of modern holiday
homes.
In the last twenty years, many residents have sold
part of their land to people attracted by the beauty
of the village. New houses built there, are used
mostly over the summer period. There are about 7 –
8 families permanent to the village. According to
the 2002 census, the village has 45 residents all of
them older than 15. All the others have move to the
village of Raca and Ohrid in search of better living
conditions.
The
residents who stayed on permanent bases in the
village are mostly retired, and few are breeding
sheep. They create some income by producing and
selling cheese.
