2.Day trip to The Marvelous Bridges and the unique Rhodope cuisine

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $94

Travel from Plovdiv into the Rhodope Mountains for the Marvelous Bridges, a traditional meal in Kosovo, and Bachkovo Monastery. Your English-speaking guide, often Ivo, drives a small group of up to eight in an air-conditioned vehicle. Expect mountain roads, steep paths, local food, and a full day away from the city.

“Ivo is supremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and culture of Bulgaria, giving us a great background to the trip. He drove us safely in the comfortable air conditioned vehicle. The ‘bridges’ are well worth the 2hr winding, scenic drive. Wear shoes with good grip as paths are steep & slippery in places. You won’t be walking far from the vehicle & can opt out of any paths you’re not happy about. Absolutely magical place! Next, to interesting old village then delicious food stop (ask Ivo for recommendations). Last stop at the ornate monastery- more great stories, facts and descriptions from Ivo! Wonderful, un-hurried, memorable day. Thank you from…”
