Loved your photos. I only spent 36 hours in Sofia last year and can't wait to return--your list of places to visit inspires me!

Thanks so much for sharing the album! I've been to Plovdiv only for one day and I loved so much the hotel (Maritza). Seeing this pictures, I'm thinking about planning a trip for a few days there, maybe Sofia too.

I returned to Bulgaria in April 2017

I updated the photo gallery ( see the first post )

I also visited : Koprivshtitsa - Rila - Boboshevo - Vitosha - Dobrovnitsa - Belovitsa - Kostadinkino - Studena - Bobov Dol - Mirovo

Koprivshtitsa is a very interesting little town with many traditional architecture houses

The Rila Monastery is probably the most beautiful in Bulgaria
