Popular tourist places
Lie on the beach and bask in the sun - it does not mean to really know the rest in Bulgaria. In order for your experiences to be full, you need to make a jouney in time. This is where we will go right now. You will lean what a snail house is, step aboard the ship in fins and taste a famous Bulgarian dish called "kaverma".
Sofia and Vitosha Mountain
If you have purchased a ticket to Bulgaria and are already walking the streets of Sofia, admire the cathedrals and even have already seen the changing of the guard and the House-snail, leave the strength for ascent to the Vitosha mountain. This plan is excellent, especially when you plan to go there not, but go by bus. The 2290-meter Vitosha is a great place for walking, coffee and pleasant conversations in the summer. In the winter, it is completely different from itself, from December to April the mountain tuns into a ski resort, the length of the road is 29 kilometers.
Koprivshtitsa
After Sofia, we recommend a little distraction, sit in a local cafe or restaurant with a cup of coffee in hand, order a delicious lunch and go to the town of Koprivshtitsa. It is just a couple of hours drive from Sofia, on the banks of the River Topolnitsa. This small town will take you back to the times of the Bulgarian National Renaissance. It seems that nothing has changed since that time, there are also houses of different colors with red tiles. It seems that almost nothing has changed here since April 1876. At this time, the locals rebelled against the Turkish authorities. The uprising was suppressed, but the reign of the Ottoman Empire on the Barkans was shaken.
Today the city looks very cozy: the people are friendly with each other, over the years they have developed their own way of life, which they actively support. If you are not tired of our interesting holiday in Bulgaria and do not mind continuing it, then we need to go to the ethnomuseum "Etar", which is located in Gabrovo, this is 182 km from Koprivshtitsa. You will go to the 18th and 19th centuries and see a lot of unusual inventions. For example, retro mechanisms that work on water.
Plovdiv
To see the culture and the epochs of the last six thousand years you will be able to visit the amphitheater of the 2nd century "Plodiv". It is the oldest in the country. After wandering around here, it's hard not to notice the Roman stadium of the 2nd century. Then go for a walk in the medieval streets. Yes, here time flies very quickly, so do not forget to visit the clock tower on the Sahat-Tepe hill, and the "Hill of Liberators", where you should take a picture of the monument to soldier Alyosha (it's hard not to notice it).
Perperikon
Our unforgettable holiday in Bulgaria continues and the next place we will visit will be the ancient city of Perperikon. It is located near Plovdiv. According to the legends, Orpheus was buried here. The Greeks considered this place to be the sanctuary of Dionysus. Bulgarians still believe in this. Every year they organize in honor of the god of wine and fun the Festival of Arts. If you feel like a real archaeologist, visit the historical museum of Kardjali, there you will also have many interesting things.
Valley of roses
July is the month when the Valley of Roses is quite possible to find by its fragrance. The reason is that the Rose Valley is a 30-kilometer pink field. The smell of roses will set the romantic mood of even the most unromantic person. If you know this, and he or she refuses to go here with you, just bring him from a holiday in Bulgaria a bottle of aromatic oil purchased in the Valley.
Rila Monastery
This monastery has a special second name - "Bulgarian Jerusalem". It is listed in the UNESCO heritage list. Visiting this monastery, you will agree that he is worthy of being on this list. Probably, it's already night outside and there's nowhere to go. Do not worry, here you will be accommodated in a monastic cell or spend the night in a local hotel. By the way, river trout is prepared in this area.
Seven Lakes
Big Tear, Eye, Kidney, Gemini, Shamrock, Fish and Bottom are so called the incredible beauty of a lake of glacial origin that are at an altitude of 2500 meters above sea level. Only nature is involved in their creation. They descend a cascade from the mountains over the Rila Monastery. If you have the desire and strength, then you can walk from the monastery to the lakes. The jouney will take approximately 7 hours of your time. It is ideal to go there in the moning, putting on comfortable shoes. It is interesting that the snow lies here for a year, and the water in the lakes is so cold that you can not hold a hand in it even a minute. To see these beautiful natural masterpieces you only need to buy a tour to Bulgaria, collect suitcases, "take along" a good mood and a couple of sunglasses.
Sunken aircraft
If you like diving, but constantly have to look at cute fish and corals, and you want new sensations, then remember the following information: 10 km east of Vana, the resort "Saint Constantine and Elena", a depth of 22 meters. Here you will find the Tu-154. All the details that could at least somehow harm the local residents and guests have long been seized, so you do not have to worry about security, so 30 tons and 48 meters of pure underwater pleasure are at your disposal. Tours to Bulgaria with joy give their tourists new emotions!
Melnik
About it Yuri Trifonov wrote the story "The smallest city". The number of inhabitants of Melnik is only 325 people. We recommend to come here not only to look at the residents, but also to visit the Rozhen Monastery of 890, which is located near the smallest city. Another reason why we called you here is the presence of good wineries here. So for a couple of minutes looking around the whole town, I propose to try a good Bulgarian wine. We allow you to stay here for a couple of hours and skip two or three glasses. Especially since you are tired from the road. Tasting wine, do not forget about your relatives who are waiting for gifts. A bottle of good wine is perfect for these purposes!
Drinking wine, without having a snack, is also not good. This small town does not miss, it serves an excellent caven and the Bulgarian national dish "Chushka Burek". In the summer, order the Bulgarian cold soup "Kiselo Mljako" and do not lose it - it's refreshingly refreshing!
