Your tour begins with an overnight stay in the capital city of Sofia. Upon arrival at the airport, you will be taken to your hotel to check-in. A tour of the city's main landmarks including the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Holy Sophia Church and the Russian Church of St. Nicholas the Miracle Maker concludes your stay.
After breakfast we are heading for a daily trip to the Rila Monastery - the most famous and fascinating monastery in Bulgaria, under the UNESCO protection. The entire complex is quite impressive for its size. The 4-floor residential part consists of no less than 300 monks’ cells, 4 chapels, an abbot’s room, a kitchen, a library and guestrooms for donors. The kitchen is particularly interesting for its really huge cooking vessels. The exterior of the monastery is no less intriguing for its high and severe stone walls (reaching 4 floors and even more at some places) cut through by small windows – reminding of a military fort rather than a monastery. Once in the complex, it is worth visiting the monastery’s museum, which hosts a unique work of art, namely The Raphael’s Cross. The cross is made of a whole piece of wood (81cm x 43cm) and is named after its creator. Afternoon arrival in Bansko - the most modern ski resort in the country. Bansko has an atmosphere of its own: an exciting combination between the magnificent nature of Pirin Mountain and the ambience of an old Bulgarian small town.
Breakfast. Departure for the Rozhen Monastery and visit of the complex - the only monastery restored during the first centuries of Ottoman rule which has survived to the current time. It owes its fame, above all, to its carved iconostases and lecterns. Continue to Melnik - the smallest town in Bulgaria, famous for the unique sandstone pyramids, traditional architecture, and delectable wines. Tour of the town with visit to the Kordopoulov's - the biggest residential building on the Balkans from the Revival Period, housing extraordinary mural paintings and an enourmous wine-cellar. Evening arrival in Plovdiv.
Breakfast. Tour of the Old Town of the city of Plovdiv - an imposing open-air museum, situated on the three hills of the ancient Trimontium. Visit to the Ancient Theatre (a well-preserved Roman amphitheatre), Ethnographic museum and other interesting sites. Return to Sofia. Overnight.
Breakfast. Transfer to the airport. Departure.
