Plovdiv and Bachkovo Monastery tour

Plovdiv was originally a Thracian city before later becoming a Greek city, and then a major Roman city. In the Middle Ages, it retained its strategic regional importance, changing hands between the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. It is probably the most visited city in Bulgaria after Sofia, and has always amazed all its visitors with the breath taking architectural mixture it offers.

The Bachkovo Monastery is a major Eastern Orthodox monastery in Southern Bulgaria. The monastery was founded in 1083. Although the monastery survived the first waves of Turkish invasion in Bulgarian lands, it was then destroyed, but restored near the end of the 15th century.
