Taste of Bulgaria

Taste of Bulgaria

Join your guide to see some of ancient Nessebar’s finest sites earning the town's UNESCO World Heritage Site designation and continue to a boutique winery, for a tasting of selected wines. Following a 50-minute drive to Nessebar, begin your guided walk viewing the exquisite examples of local medieval architecture, represented by The Churches of Christ Pantocrator and St. John the Baptist. Pass by the tiny Blessed Saviour and continue to the agora, where the ruins of the Old Metropolitan Church are proudly standing. Discover the winding cobbled paths and take a moment at the small squares, surrounded by the wooden houses, dating back to the 19th century. Enter St. Stefan’s Church beautifully decorated with murals from the 16th century.

Reboard the coach and continue inland, passing villages and pastures to reach an authentic ethnographic complex – a guardian of the Bulgarian traditions. Behind stone walls and heavy gates, you will find a charming complex exhibiting the lifestyle and traditions of the Bulgarian family from the past century. You are invited to step inside a small-whitewashed house for a glimpse into their domestic interior decoration. View the old fireplace with the low round table and 3-legged chairs in the kitchen, the wooden loom, used for the making of the rugs and clothing displayed. Do not miss visiting the private chapel with beautiful wood carved iconostasis and colorful murals. After exploring the complex, you will be able to taste traditional Bulgarian specialties and produce. See a cooking demonstration of the famous Bulgarian banitsa –a cheese and egg pastry pie. Round off your Bulgarian experience with a light folklore performance by a local ensemble, introducing you to the rhythm, music, and dance of the vibrant Bulgarian folklore with its traditional costumes and haunting bagpipe sounds before returning to the yacht.
