Bulgaria, Black Sea & Rhodope

Bulgaria, Black Sea & Rhodope Overview

The mountain ranges of Bulgaria offer fine highland scenery and excellent walking opportunities. Old-fashioned farming methods and a lack of industry result in unspoilt landscapes rarely seen in Western Europe. Spring or late summer is the perfect time to make our 13-day comprehensive tour of this little-known land.

We walk in richly diverse natural habitats of Sredna Gora, Balkan and Rhodope mountains; explore ancient history mixed with more recent historic episodes of rebellion; visit frescoed Byzantine churches and well-preserved Roman ruins; discover the pleasures of Balkan cuisine and excellent Bulgarian red wines and see the recently unearthed finds of Thracian gold.
