Travel Around

City Vibes:
We recommend exploring the city of Plovdiv as there are many Roman sites to see.

Nature Walks:
You will be just at the end of the village and right by a lovely road which will take you to the top of the mountain and it is a nice walk.There is plenty of walking/hiking available there, but also a lot to discover within a short drive.
Here are some links and recommendations:
* Smolyan Lakes and Pamporovo - about 1/1.30 drive from the villa.

* Wonder Bridges, not far from the villa, but the road there is bad on the last few kilometers.

* Asenova Krepost - you will see it as you leave Asenovgrad and head to the villa. Easy to visit and we recommend it .

* Bachkovo Monastery. Lovely 10 century old monastery. Even if you are not a believer there is a legend about the Mother Mary miracle icon there and if you make a wish it will come true :) - http://www.bachkovskimanastir.com/en/
* Waterfalls - there are many in the Rodopi, one beautiful one is really close by. As you drive past Bachkovo you will see a fish breeding farm ( a nice place to buy fresh trout). Park there ( they will let you park for a small fee of 2-3lv) or on the road opposite. Just on the side where the road meets the tunnel you will see a small pathway. This is the hiking trail to the waterfall - a good 3-4 hours return and very picturesque. There are a few areas on the way up that are suitable for a picnic.

* The Rodopi is a home of many ancient wonders as well so here are a few to choose from as well.

There is also a horse riding place in the village after Narechenski Bani (there a few small grocery shops there and an ATM )- Hvoyna.
