Off-the-beaten path Europe is hard to find these days, but Bulgaria fits the bill. Alongside a wonderfully well-preserved culture, full of ancient ruins and medieval churches, lies beautiful backcountry and quaint countryside. Hearty local cuisine, a distinguished regional wine culture, and a plethora of traditional spas. All perfect for experiencing by bike.
There’s no shortage of fresh air and good views on a cycling tour through Bulgaria. For millennia, the country’s rocky and wild wilderness has captivated locals and travelers alike. Neolithic cave paintings predate rock-hewn Orthodoxian churches and Bulgaria’s mountain ranges have some of Europe’s best hiking and skiing outside of the Alps. Pedal past quaint, medieval villages as you wind through rocky gorges filled with rushing rivers.
What better way to experience the mutli-layered history of Bulgaria than through its food? Dig in to fresh Greek salads, topped with a dollop of Slavic-inspired sour cream. And enjoy fantastic feasts of breads and pastries, alongside Middle Eastern-spiced sausages and kebabs. Unwind at the end of your day by sampling a glass (or two!) of the famed local Bulgarian wines.
Orlon and Kiril were fantastic and entertaining guides and made our trip so memorable.Their knowledge of places and history were so valuable.
