Wine among the sand pyramids

Melnik is small.

But there is enough around it for a whole weekend.

The old houses are nestled between unusual sand formations, and the area is famous for its wine production. Southwest Bulgaria combines mountains, historical sites, mineral springs, traditional taverns and wineries.

What to do

Walk through the old town.

Visit Kordopulova House.

Try local wines.

Visit a winery.

Continue to Rozhen Monastery.

If you enjoy walking, look for a route through the Melnik Pyramids.

Don't leave right away

Melnik is much more pleasant when you stay for the evening.

Then the day visitors leave, the streets quiet down and there is time for a long dinner and local wine.
