 WELCOME
TO BULGARIA TOURS
The Bulgarian land is an ancient crossroad. It
remembers many civilizations and great peoples that wrote the
pages of its turbulent history: bronze and iron spears and
arrows, ruins of palaces and cities, wise words carved on rocks
and stone columns, written on parchment and leather. The Thracians bequeathed us the famous tombs near Kazanluk and Sveshtari,
the unique gold treasures from Panagyurishte and Rogozen. The
Hellenes built the beautiful coastal towns of Apollonia, Anhialo
and Messambria, and THE Romans - ancient Aescus, Nikopolis ad
Istrum and Nove. Huns, Gothes and Averas later passes through our
lands. Around the mid-7th century the Slavs came from the north
across the Danube, followed by the Bulgarians of Khan Asparouh to
build the foundations of the present country at a time there were
only three states in Europe: The Western Roman Empire, BULGARIA,
and The Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium). Travel back in time
dozens of centuries to Pliska, Preslav and Veliko Tarnovo -
the seats of the first Bulgarian khans, czars and kings; to
the stone carving of the Madara Horseman; to the Thracian Gold
Treasures; to the breathtaking murals of the Kazanlak Tomb and
the church in Boyana; to the quiet wisdom of the Rila,Troyan
and Rozhen Monastery and to the town of Melnick - Renaissance
legend of wood, stone and color.
Landscape in Bulgaria
is extremely varied: vast plains alternate with rolling hills,
deep river valleys, mountain ranges and massifs. There is an
unique opportunity to be near the Polar Circle and within less
than an hour driving, to be in the Mediterranean. Due to excellent geographical
position of Bulgaria at the crossroads between Europe and Asia
Minor and between the South Russian Steppes and the
Mediterranean, there are extremely high numbers of birds
usually known as "rarities" in most of the other European
countries.
There are large areas with almost no people and pure nature is
very well-preserved there. Old-growth forests are home to
deer, elk, fox, wild goat, and other rare European species.
You will be surprised to find an actually unknown country and
you will be shocked to discover so wild nature areas,
unbelievable for Europe in the beginning of the 21st century!
