We weren’t sure what to expect from Bulgaria. It exceeded our expectations.

The itinerary:

  • Sofia – 3 days in the capital city
  • 1 night in Bansko
  • 3 nights in Gella Village
  • Week of village to village trekking
  • 2 nights in Plovdiv
  • 1 night back in Sofia near the airport, early flight home

Sofia

Bansko

Bankso is a ski region about 90 minutes drive from Sofia.  After a condo and resort boom, many projects ran out of funding.  Many of the projects are concrete shells.  We stopped at the Rila monastery on the way.
