I have passed many times through Sopot and Karlovo, but in a hurry. At the beginning of March, I headed out there again and spent a few days. I visited great places that I am going to talk about below.

We started March with sunny weather and beautiful views in the heart of the Bulgarian Rose Valley. We spent a long weekend there. Three days we were walking around different sights. Evenings we stayed at Chateau Copsa, which was our base and a place where we relaxed and enjoyed delicious food and fine wine.

To go through a fully authentic Roman street 2,000 years old … awesome! No, it’s not in Rome, it is in Bulgaria, in the heart of Stara Zagora.

As usual, in December I respect the blog’s tradition to distinguish the most interesting sights in Bulgaria I have visited during the year. Take the list below as advise and wish for 2019!

Our main goal in this frosty winter day was the village of Arbanassi, but since we had long heard about Staro Stefanov’s charm, we decided it would be convenient to visit it also, because it was on the way. It was sunny, but extremely cold, the village was so white, because of the snow, and so silent. Despite the fact it was noon, we did not see anyone on the streets.

My first visit in the town of Bansko happened almost 20 years ago. At that time the town was very small, and many of its current outskirts were pastures and meadows. Then I remembered two things: the enormous silhouette of Pirin Mountains as a beautiful background, throwing its shadow, and the imposing church of the Holy Trinity.

I am glad to share the fresh impressions of the weekend we have just spent in Bansko. The main goal was to climb the peaks of Muratov and Polezhan and at the same time to relax and pamper in some pleasant place with a good spa center for recharging the batteries.
