LINKS TO INTERESTING SITES INC FLIGHTS

Melnik:

Set within picturesque Sandstone cliffs, Melnik, which is officially the smallest town in Bulgaria is famous for its wines and its unique style of building. Wine sampling in one of its many cellars carved into the cliffs is a great experience.

Bear Park:
Just a short drive from Bansko is the Ex-dancing bear park. Although the bears can never be released back into the wild, this reserve is as close as they could ever get to living a natural life again.

Monasteries:
Two of the most famous being, the Rozhen which is one of the oldest, and the Rila which is one of the biggest and most elaborate with brightly coloured murals depicting scenes from the bible. Both of which are working monasteries, where the monks can be seen going about their everyday lives.

Mineral springs:
Bulgaria is second only to Japan in the amount of mineral springs (both hot & cold). Just one example of how the Bulgarians put these to good use can be seen just 5kms from Bansko where they have a modern open air mineral pool.

Geyser:
The only one in mainland continental Europe. Blowing 10 metres high every 5 to 6 secs, at a temperature of 104 deg C, which makes it one of the hottest and most temperamental in the world.
