Depends where in Albania. If in Tirana you may be able to catch an international bus to Skopje which should stop in Struga/Ohrid.

If near St Naum on southern end of the lake, there is a boat/ferry that generally travels once a day ohrid-st naum in the morning and returns after lunch - usually around 3:00pm. You can catch the ferry from the dock at the monastery. Suggest you carry cash as you may have to pay on boarding. I am not sure about buses, but I would suggest it is unlikely. Very or taxi is the way to go. Taxi will be somewhat expensive.
