Koprivshtica and Starosel

Morning departure to the town of Koprivshtica. Nestled in the mountain-folds of Sredna Gora, Koprivshtica is one of the most characteristic Bulgarian towns, declared an architectural reserve. It still bears the atmosphere of The Bulgarian Revival period with its cobbled streets, stone and wooden houses in different colors. Koprivshtica is also associated as the birth place of many famous Bulgarian revolutionaries and poets. During the guided city tour, you will visit some of their birth-houses, now turned into museums. Koprivshtitsa has been recently nominated as part of UNESCO non-material heritage for the National Festival of Bulgarian Folklore, which takes place approximately every five years and gathers musicians, dancers and artists from accross Bulgaria.

In the afternoon, dfrive to Starosel and visit the largest underground temple in the Balkans found in the area under Chetinyova Mound.
