Rila Monastery
Rila monastery is part of UNESCO world cultural heritage list and It’s one of the symbols of Bulgaria. Rila Monastery was founded in the 10th century by St John of Rila, a hermit canonized by the Orthodox Church. His ascetic dwelling and tomb became a holy site and were transformed into a monastic complex which played an important role in the spiritual and social life of medieval Bulgaria. A characteristic example of the Bulgarian Renaissance (18th–19th centuries), the monument symbolizes the awareness of a Slavic cultural identity following centuries of occupation. You will have enough time to explore the monastery, the main church and the monastery museum.

5.00We did a private tour to Rila Monastery and the town of Melnik. Both places are fantastic! Love the structure and architecture of Rila Monastery with so much history and learned about the paintings of the interiors of the church. Ventsi is patient to explain all the details clearly and we took nice photos of the surroundings. We made our way to Melnik and is impressed by the quiet town which speaks by itself with the traditional old stone and wooden houses. Visited a house museum and tasted some lovely Melnik wine after wandering an underground cave cellar. Highly recommended for some unique experience!
Beautiful itinerary, we...

5.00Our driver and guide (Ventsislav) was just amazing. A great and friendly guide indeed. My friend and I were the only ones on this tour so it was like our own little private tour. Ventsislav recommended that we leave early which was a fantastic idea because there were only about 5 people when we arrived and over 100 when we left. He also took a detour on our journey to Melnik as there was a lot of traffic (which we visibly saw) and saved us at least 30 min on our journey!!!! Great trip with a great guide.

5.00An extraodrinary day trip to the enchanting Rila Monastery and small town of Melnik, that is not to be missed. Melnik is quaint and set between some strange mountain dunes. Make sure to head to a view point to the see the whole town from above. Some lovely wine available and recommended. Thank you to our guide Ventsi!
Awesome!
