A small taste of Bulgaria - An extraodrinary day trip to the enchanting Rila Monastery and small town of Melnik, that is not to be missed. Melnik is quaint and set between some strange mountain dunes. Make sure to head to a view point to the see the whole town from above. Some lovely wine available and recommended. Thank you to our guide Ventsi!
