Plovdiv Day Tour with a Local Village Visit
Besides discovering one of the oldest cities in Europe with its numerous narrow streets and artistic quarters, you will also have the chance to get to know the history of the rural region. In contrast to Plovdiv's aristocratic world of big houses, wealthy merchants, and cultural uprisings, we will head towards a tiny little village, forgotten by anyone nowadays, which lies among the green slopes of the nearby Rhodope Mountains. The place is unique because it still preserves the traditions of the locals and their way of living as they existed centuries ago. No vehicles can go around the village since its old cobbled-stone streets were made to gather only carts and animals. Experience a real cultural encounter as you stroll around the typical traditional houses of the countryside women and men, each one bearing its long-forgotten history and mysteries. You will have lunch with our hosts, tasting delicious local dishes coming from centuries-old recipes.
