The old capital of the Bulgarian Kingdom during the 12th-14th centuries was

the territory of Veliko Turnovo has been declared a museum reserve with three

Elena church, and the old Roman Theatre. After we will go to the current capital
of Bulgaria, Sofia, and explore the main sights of the city, such as St. Sofia
Church, St. George Rotunda and Boyana church. Before departing Bulgaria we will
stop to see the magnificent Rila Monastery; the largest and oldest monastery in
Bulgaria, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List with medieval defense tower
from the 14th C. and fine frescoes, with a beautiful mountainous backdrop.
 Thessaloniki
is known as the second capital by the Greeks, it is not only the second largest
city of Greece after Athens, but also the capital of Northern Greece and
Macedonia. It is beautifully situated by the sea with many historic and cultural
sights to visit. Then we go to Meteora; surrounded by magnificent rock
formations containing several monasteries built on top of them during the 14th
and 15th centuries. Meteora is a unique phenomenon of Greek cultural heritage.
