No idea why. Only one security lane too so don't go last minute. But the locals are all really friendly and helpful
Seconded, and amongst the last genuinely cheap destinations left in Europe. Two courses and wine for two people for a tenner!
When I travelled in 2016 my outbound and the outbound that came to collect me were pretty empty whereas the return flight was full, mostly Albanians coming over the border. It will be interesting to hear if loads are better balanced now, whether more Brits are discovering Ohrid and whether the route has been impacted at all from Wizz starting Tirana.

Flights were pretty much full both ways. Quite a few Albanians still, a smallish number of Brits and quite a lot of Macedonians
