🇧🇬Bansko🇧🇬

Last month, I travelled to Bulgaria to see my boyfriend. Together, we went to Bansko, a very famous winter destination in the mountains of Bulgaria.

Although we didn't stay as long as one would need if he was to explore the entire town, we stayed an entire day, which we spent in museums, restaurants and walking around.

My first impression of the town, was how it looked more like a village for the better part, but then in the heart of it, there, because of the many tourist businesses, there it truly felt like a town or even a city.

The buildings gave me mixed opinions, some were absolutely beautiful, and some were ruins or ugly brick houses that didn't match the old style of the rest.

The roads were a pleasant suprise, they matched the atmosphere of the town, and the architecture as well.

The town squares and the parks also looked nice, gave you a feeling of warmth, if that makes any sense, even though that was in January 😂

As for the nature unfortunately, I cannot say, since we didn't go outside of the town that day, because it was very cold, and we preferred to spend the day visiting museums, churches, walking around the town, taking pictures and eating out.

Sightseeings

The town has many House-Musuems, most of which, houses of important Bulgarian historical figures.

I can't say that those House-Musuems were impressing, but they were definitely worth visiting if one is interested in 19th century Bulgarian Architecture, or, interested in learning more about Bulgarian Historical figures.

Specifically, I'd recommend visiting :

• The House Museum of Nikola Vaptsarov

• The Neofit Rilski-House Museum

• The Museum Velyan-House

Another thing worth visiting in Bansko, is its beautiful church of Holy Trinity. It has a magnificent bell tower as well, made entirely of stone.

The inside is filled with beautiful wall paintings, and the outside also has a nice yard.

Places to Eat-Drink

The town offers a great amount of cafeterias, restaurants or even snacks from bakeries, in fairly low prices (15-20€ for two people to have a nice dinner)

There are countless of restaurants, with a very warm and cosy atmosphere, that make you feel at home. The perfect town to find picturesque restaurants.

I'd personally recommend

• Pitsinna Kruchma

A very nice restaurant in the heart of Bansko, with amazing food quality, service, hospitality and relatively good prices.

Things to Do

Most people that go to Bansko, visit during the winter time. Because of its mountainous location, and its proximity to the ski centre, a lot of people visit the town just for that. However, it should be noted that it's also an amazing town if you want to explore the nearby mountains while hiking.

I wish I had more time there, so that I could explore the nearby mountains, and maybe, who knows, go skiing 😂⛷️

_________________________________________

Now last but not least, I'd like to add how because of its popularity, the town is more expensive than most, and will be more expensive than most in the country. Is it worth it in the end? Absolutely!

* The town has trains and busses connecting it to other cities daily!

🇧🇬

Have a nice day! 🖤

Well hello to Everyone 🔮

I hope everyone has had an amazing year, and I wish for this New Year, 2024, to find you with everything you wish to achieve 🖤

From now on I'll be active on this app, so, even though I haven't really used it since 2018 😂

So, Hi again, my name is Irianna, and I'm a 21 year old university student.

I study Statistics and Actuarial Financial Mathematics, and at some point I hope to get my degree.

I love history, to the point that I get obsessed over it, and can read or talk about it for hours non-stop.

I speak a lot of languages as well, although not as good as I want to speak them, although there's always room for improvement.

Specifically, I speak Greek, which is my native language, English, French, Turkish, some Norwegian and I'm currently learning Bulgarian as well!

I also understand Classical and Koine Greek! 🏺

I'm also an antique collector, and I collect all sorts of antiques, but mainly, letters from WWI, WWII and the Balkan Wars, and coins from different countries, although mostly, from my own, Greece.

In my free time, I do martial arts and weight lifting 💪🏋️

I also write book, and read a lot of them as well! 📖🖋️

I'm hoping to soon finish my new book, start editing the rest, and at some point, publish them!

I also love taking pictures, and traveling around the world! 📸

Last but not least, I'd like to add how I'm from a beautiful Greek Island, and how I'm a Hellenic Polytheist 🏺

Love 🖤🖤
