Itinerary
Day 1
Plovdiv is one of the oldest and most colorful towns in Bulgaria. The whole of Plovdiv's six millennia long history can be traced in the Old Town. It is declared an archeological reserve and covers the three-hill area where the town was located originally. Lots of history has been written here â Thracian, Roman, Greek, Turks and even the Hun left their marks. We will take a nice walk on the cobblestone streets to see numerous colorful houses from the National Revival period (Bulgarian Renaissance), churches, archeological monuments and museums, fortress walls and the most important landmark â the Roman Amphitheatre. During the tour we will visit the Ethnographic museum, which is one of the most beautiful revival period houses in Plovdiv. The exhibition consists of folklore costumes, traditional crafts and jewelry from Plovdiv and the surrounding areas. Some rooms have been restored to their 19th century appearance.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
