After a scenic 2-hour drive, begin your full-day tour in Plovdiv, one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in Europe. Wander through its charming cobblestone streets and visit a beautifully preserved 19th-century house to gain insight into daily life during the Ottoman Empire. Explore Plovdiv’s rich heritage, including the Roman Theater, Roman Stadium, and historic churches, each reflecting different layers of the city’s past. Enjoy 2 hours of free time to stroll along the main pedestrian street, browse local shops, savor lunch at a traditional restaurant, or relax with coffee at a café while soaking in the city’s vibrant atmosphere.
In the afternoon, rejoin your guide and van for a 30-minute drive to Asen’s Fortress, perched on a rocky ridge in the Rhodope Mountains. Admire the medieval architecture and well-preserved Church of the Holy Mother of God, and learn about the fortress’s strategic and historical significance. Take your time to explore the grounds, capture panoramic photos from the hilltop, and feel the history come alive as you overlook the surrounding countryside.
