Plovdiv and the Bachkovo Monastery Tour
This tour will make you fall in love with Bulgaria, its nature and its history. You will have the chance to drive in the Rodopi mountain – one of the most mystic mountains on the Balkans and we dare to say in the world. The Rodopi mountain is famous with its numerous Thracian sanctuaries that the Thracians used for their rituals. Another highlight the Bachkovo monastery – the second largest in Bulgaria after the Rila monastery. On the way you will also visit the magnificent Assen`s fortress where from you will admire a magic view towards the mountain. The town of Plovdiv a must-visit when touring Bulgaria. It makes this tour very informative and absolutely worth to be done.
“Ancient and Eternal”
Plovdiv is one of the most appealing cities in Bulgaria and the Balkans. The first foundations laid here between 6-8000 years ago, thus making it older than Rome or even Beijing. Plovdiv is a great combination of real historical and archaeological treasures with the liveliness of a modern city and great cultural and night life.
The most visited and admired is the hilly Old Town, built on three hills called “tepeta”. The maze of cobbled streets which meander the area and contain the cuddled up revival houses with their colorful facades and ornate decoration don’t fail to impress and take you back in time.
The modern part of the city center lies along the main pedestrian street starting at the Central Square (Ploshtad Centralen). It passes along Dzhumaya Dzhamia just next to the Old Town on the west. This long street runs past all kinds of monuments, fountains, the ruins of the Roman stadium, shops, restaurants and coffees all the way to River Maritsa.
This is the liveliest part of the city and especially in the evening it seems like the whole population has gathered here, strolling up and down. The streets between the center and the train station are also something not to miss. The buildings here have not been restored as in the Old Town and the architecture is closer to the capitals’ Sofia feel, but they also hold their charm.
