Bulgaria.

Such a beautiful country at the Southeastern outskirts of the European Union.

It has a lot to show and lots of hidden gems.

• The mountains.

The country has lots of them, more than 20. Each of them has its own charisma.

Here is an evening view from Rhodopes, one of the most Southern located ones.

Vitosha is well know as it is touching the capital city, Sofia.

Here is a picture from a peak that is just a 15 minutes drive from the city:

Now a view from the center of Sofia too:

The major part of the population is Orthodox Christians so there are plenty of chapels, churches and cathedrals.

Here is a top view of the chapel of Plana, a village not far away from Sofia too:

Here, a hill chapel at "Cross Forest", a holy mountain place with plenty of religious buildings around.

This is a special dedicated place for preserving folklore and ethno-traditions, called "Etar" near the city of Gabrovo. Main street view with specific architecture.

Traditional folklore dances, girls in regional folklore costumes:

Now let's fly quickly to the sea, Black Sea and a new modern building at the sea port of Burgas city:

One of the biggest sea resort, "Sunny Beach", I wouldn't spend my summer vacation there but many people love it.

Last but not least, see the bells toll at the church bell tower of the village of Uzundzhovo, Haskovo district:

I hope you liked this virtual tour of Bulgaria with me, stay tuned for more!
