Our tour will start at 9.00 with a pick up from your hotel. After a two hours journey we will start seeing from the highway the famous hills of Plovdiv, surrounded by the lovely architecture of the old quarter.

At 11.00am we will park our car in front of the riuns of once proudly standing gates of Phillipopolis. From here our tour of the old town will start. In the next two hours we will visit two houses-museums, the Anceint theatre, the Roman stadium and many more unique places. We will learn how the citizens of Plovdiv had lived and why they are the first to introduce the Western European influence on the territories of future Bulgaria.

At 13pm we will be at the main pedestrian street of Plovdiv. From here your free time starts for some lunch and souvenirs shopping. You can spend your free time in the Kapana district, which is one of the most attractive parts of Plovdiv, just in the city center. There you can by some really authentic souvenirs and really enjoy the spirit of this remarkable city.

Stop At: Bachkovo Monastery, 10km south of Asenovgrad on the main road between Assenovgrad and Smolyan, Bachkovo 4251 Bulgaria

At 15pm our guide will pick you up from the parking lot in front of Ramada hotel, just at the end of the pedestrian street.

From there you will proceed towards Bulgaria’s second largest monastery complex – Bachkovo. Situated in the lovely Rodopi mountains, the monastery complex was founded in 1083 by the Georgian brothers Bakuriani to serve as a center of the Georgian church literature on the Balkans. In 13th century the complex and its land became part of the Bulgarian country and gained a stauropigial status. Here we will spend half an hour, exploring the amazing church frescoes from 17th century and the remarkable old refectory, where the monks used to dine.

Somewhere 16.30pm we will depart back to Sofia and expect to arrive back at your hotel approximately at 19.00pm after one amazing day, spent in a city, with which we had fallen in love from a first side.
