Embark on a magical journey through the Rhodope Mountains with Eli Ivanova’s guidebook, which will reveal hidden gems and interesting facts

In this guide, the blog author “Paths in Words” by Eli Ivanova offers a suggested itinerary that will allow you to drive across the mountain from east to west in a week, visiting some of its most famous sights while also discovering lesser-known, but equally beautiful places.

7 Days on the Trails of the Rhodopes, from Ivaylovgrad to Gotse Delchev

The book describes 44 tourist attractions, including fortresses, dolmens, trails, waterfalls, bridges, springs, meandering rivers, and picturesque Rhodope towns that preserve centuries-old history, ancient architecture, legends from times past, and incredible views.

The Rhodopes are vast, beautiful, mysterious, ancient, and still not well enough known to tourists. You could spend months exploring them and still discover new places that will surprise you with breathtaking views and a rich history.
