In the sunniest side of the Pirin Mountain, among the exquisite draperies of bizarre sandstone pyramids sheltered Melnik – the smallest town not only in Bulgaria, but in the whole world, with only 280 inhabitants. Perched one above the other houses with tall white chimneys, cupolas peek behind which dozens of ancient churches, enchant travelers with its timeless beauty. Now Melnik is a national cultural reserve and city-museum. Continue Reading →

One of my dreams is to cover the oldest tattoo I have on my back with nature and travel motives, maps or that kind of stuff. Unfortunately, I still didn’t meet person to cover it and to help me with some good travel tattoo idea. Please, if you know somebody who can help me with his imagination just drop me a massage in Facebook or Twitter.
Check out my gallery of travel tattoo ideas. One day I promise to put here my own travel tattoo project :) Do you have some kind of travel tattoo like this or you think that is stupid to draw maps on your skin?

Skiing season along the Pirin slopes starts in mid-December to mid-April.

There is only one place which make their winter fairytale possible. Continue Reading →

Along with the ski slopes Bansko, Bulgaria is famous with something else which pleases everyone, even those who are not fond of winter sports. That’s right! The good food offered in the taverns, which you can find on any corner in Bansko. Bansko is one of the most popular and modern ski resorts in Eastern Europe and boasts a lively nightlife. Unlike many winter resorts, the hotels and other facilities in Bansko are situated exclusively in the town. Bansko has over 140 local restaurants (mehanas), hotel restaurants and street cafés, plus 12 clubs and 2 casinos.

Nestled in the high mountains, not far from the capital of Bulgaria – Sofia, Bansko is one of the places which brings the spirit of the entire country.
When I was a kid my parents traveled all the way from the eastern part of the country to this magical place to teach me skiing , hiking or just to be closer to nature. Since I grew up enough and started to travel alone began attending town more and more often – alone, with friends or with tourists who visit Bulgaria for the very first time in their life. And the most amazing thing is that every time I take someone out there, the place makes him feel home.
In this article I will share with you some of my favorite things to do in Bansko:
