Why Bulgaria, you ask?
A question to which I can answer with thousands of words but would try to be as convincing as possible and that would require a succinct answer.
Let’s begin with a few historical facts:
- Proto-Bulgarians was one of the first people on the European continent to manage to establish their own country (7th century AD);
- Bulgarian lands have been inhabited by one of the first civilizations known to history, whose tombs and sanctuaries are still kept intact and to be seen in the most picturesque Bulgarian towns, including some of the oldest golden ornaments and treasures;
- All Bulgarians know and are proud of their history and traditions as they pass them on from one generation to another - evidence of the country’s profound spirituality and its rich culture.Тhe folk dances and songs will leave you breathless, as the song "Izlel e Delyu Haydutin" is part of the Voyager Golden Record selection of music included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977.
Another great reason for visiting Bulgaria is that the locals are very hospitable and ready to prepare some delicious traditional meals for their guests and do everything to make them feel welcome.
The breathtaking nature also makes Bulgaria worth visiting. Its mountains, numerous lakes, 100 beaches to choose from and wonderful sights will make you fall in love with the country.
Bulgaria is neither the country to go shopping for the most modern brands, nor one to see Hollywood stars and world premieres, but a magical place on the face of the Earth, where you can become part of world history, find yourself in the astonishing nature and take part in unique folk dances and traditions. So when you are wondering “Why Bulgaria?”, let me just tell you this: Because it’s worth it!
