The paper presents the main characteristics of Macedonian lake tourism. The main goal is to analyze the main elements of tourism in lake resorts: attractive factors (natural and anthropogenic motives), receptive factors (accommodation and catering facilities) and communicative factors (transport network, port, airport, shipping fleet, etc.) concentrated on the shores of Lake Ohrid, Prespa and Dojran. The second main goal is a brief presentation of the pre-tourist period, the emergence of tourism and tourist periods. The paper pays significant attention to tourist movements: number of tourists, overnight stays and average length of stay, and for a longer period of time. The textual part is enriched with several tables and graphical overviews.
