Overview

Small group bigger experience!

Plovdiv is on the 6th place for oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the oldest in Europe. Inhabited since 4,000 B.C., beginning with a Neolithic settlement, Plovdiv has been conquered many times throughout the years by the Thracians, the Greeks and the Romans.

After the city tour we're heading inland to the beatifull Rhodopes mountain towards the Аsen's fortress, located on high ground with panoramic views. We will stay about 30min. to enjoy the view of the mountains, the town of Asenovgrad and the Thracian valley.

Our last stop will be the picturesque Bachkovo Monastery - second largest.

The monastery buildings form two rectangular courtyards – northern (original) and southern added in the 19th century. Inside the complex we visit the main church of Virgin Mary built in 1604 where a valuable icon of Saint Mary from 11-12th century AD is being kept. According to the legend this remarkable icon is believed to be miracle working.
