Itinerary
Day 1
The 'Sherif Halil Pasha' Mosque or so-called Tombul Mosque is located in the city of Shumen.
Was built between 1740 and 1744 and is the largest mosque in Bulgaria and the second largest on the Balkans.
It was called The Tombul Mosque because of the form of its dome. The prayer-hall of the temple is not big, but its form is quite interesting.
Its base is a square, its middle part is an octagon and its top is a circle.
The interior has mural paintings of vegetable life and geometric figures and features a lot of inscriptions in Arabic, phrases from the Koran.
The yard is known for the arches in front of the twelve rooms that surround it and the minaret is 40 m high.

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.
