The Villages of Rhodopes
€245.00 – €2,550.00
This four day program will take us through some of the most interesting areas in Western Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria. This is the largest mountain range of the country, located mainly in southern Bulgaria and partially in Greece. Walking in Rhodopes is always a combination of nature sights and exploration of the local culture, as there is a number of remote villages in the area. Terrain is not difficult but we’ll do a couple of good 6-7 hours long hikes that require a decent physical condition.
