Rila Monastery

Rila Monastery -The Monastery of Saint Ivan of Rila, better known as the Rila Monastery is the largest and most famous Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria. Founded in the 10th century, the Rila Monastery is regarded as one of Bulgaria's most important cultural, historical and architectural monuments and is a must-visit tourist attraction for both Bulgarians and foreign visitors. It was built at its present place in the 14th century. The oldest buildings in the complex date from this period - the Tower of Hrelyu (1334–1335) and a small church just next to it (1343). However, the arrival of the Ottomans in the end of the 14th century was followed by numerous raids and a destruction of the monastery in the middle of the 15th century. The monastery complex, regarded as one of the most impressive masterpieces of Bulgarian National Revival architecture, was declared a national historical monument in 1976 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

There is quite a lot of driving to each venue. The scenery as we came home was magnificent (unfortunately, horrendous weather in the morning so our window was steamed up). The monastery was great - and enough time to enjoy fresh donuts as well as interesting architecture. We loved the thermal bath - it was just what we needed after travelling to Bulgaria the day before.
My favorite part was the hot springs was relaxing and not busy at all

It was great plenty of time in both locations to do your own things. The monastery is pretty but small so one hour was plenty enough.

The Tour was excellent. The monastery is beautiful although I would have liked to spend more time there. Finally the thermal water pools were very relaxing and had several temperatures to be able to choose the one you like the most. The trip was great and our guide very friendly and polite, did his best to make the trip much more enjoyable. Experience of 10!.

The guide is very sweet and very prepared, arrived at the monastery the guide told us in great detail about the frescoes outside the church and inside the church, explained many details of the Orthodox religion, Then we went to relax in the thermal waters. The monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, not to be missed. The two-hour bus ride is worth the effort, mostly by highway

The bus ride was comfortable and our guide Georgi was friendly and knowledgeable. He shared the history of the places and was happy to answer questions. It was a good mix of tour time and explore on your own. The baths were nice on a bit day!
Everything perfect
