From 20th to 24th July, we had the most wonderful tour, although short, around some of Bulgaria and Macedonia.
We had a short stop in a village along the way to Rila Monastery, to take pictures of several stork (Konotori) nests in its center:
After visiting Rila Monastery,
we headed over to Melnik:
We could not miss visiting Rozhen Monastery as well, which is just next to Melnik:
Our next notable stop was Ohrid and a tour around the old town.
Coming back to Bulgaria afterwards, we had a stop in a 5-star spa hotel in Kystendil.
The tour finished with a scenic walk around Cherni vrah, Vitosha mountain’s peak.
It was our great pleasure to show our good Japanese friends a bit of Macedonia and Bulgaria, and we hope to visit even more exciting and beautiful places in Bulgaria, or anywhere on the Balkan peninsula next time!
We will be uploading more pictures from the tour, on our website soon!
