Ohrid nomad scores

The researched nomad budget is about $1,575 monthly, including $560 housing. Affordable beside Podgorica, but dearer than Bitola, Hanoi and Chiang Mai. 1 2

Furnished monthly housing is good value outside peak dates. The researched $560 nomad rent includes utilities, though the host also quotes higher seasonal prices. 2 1

Local food remains affordable, with a full restaurant meal costing more than the cheapest takeaway. The cost review and crowd-sourced basket cover different meal types. 1

Metered taxis remain inexpensive. Current crowd-sourced bus fares exceed the old pass price used by the cost review, so the transport score is retained with limited confidence. 13 1

Going out is relatively affordable, although current crowd-sourced cinema pricing exceeds the national cinema example used by the cost review. 1

Monthly gym access remains reasonably priced; a current operator tariff is still needed to confirm the local range. 1
