Enjoying Plovdiv's old town and its cobblestone streets, where you can always find a new friend!🐈⬛ 🐱
-
Plovdiv's local cats are rarely scared of people and would more likely come to sit near you. You will see at least 2-3 of them every step of the way throughout the old city.

If you haven't seen this lovely video of the "Treasures of The World - episode Bulgaria" with Bettany Hughes, we recommend you watch it.
It presents some of the treasures of Bulgarian history and culture in a fascinating storytelling manner - that very style of Bettany Hughes videos we all really like.
From the oldest worked gold in the world, through the Valley of the Thracian Kings and their most famous tombs, through the Rila Monastery and the 7 Rila Lakes, and up to modern-day history and the Buzludzha peak monument, Bulgaria's incredible nature, culture and history will awe and impress you.
Discover Bulgaria's treasures with TRAVENTURIA as we offer DAY TOURS to most of the sights filmed in the famous series:

The success of any guided trip rests on the teamwork between the guide and the driver. These are the two most important figures during any day or multiple-day tour. However, quite often the guide "steals" most of the credit for a great service as he or she is the one actively communicating with the foreign visitors.
With this post we would like to present you with one of our hard-working, good-faithed and very friendly colleague - Dimitar Eikov (a.k.a. Uncle Mitko). He has been a driver at Traventuria for almost two years now. But if you have met him at least once, you would think that he's been here a lot longer. With his easy going character, always smiling and genuine sense of humor, chicho (uncle) Mitko will make you smile and certainly will make you enjoy not only your ride, but your day trip as well. He will be part of the group and even pose with a butterfly on his hand for you to photoshoot it if needed. :)) He will drive you safe and sound with the confidence of a true and experienced driver who loves his job.
Safe travels, uncle Mitko! We are grateful for your positive attitude and genuine responsiveness even in difficult moments.

Често трудът на шофьорите по време на екскурзиите на Травентурия остава "в сянката" на работата на екскурзоводите. Зад успеха на всеки тур стоят отдадеността и професионализма и на шофьора.
С този пост бихме искали да ви представим един от нашите уважавани колеги - Димитър Ейков (още известен сред нас като "Чичо Митко"). Той работи като шофьор и е част от колектива на Травентурия от 2 години. Но, ако сте го срещали поне веднъж, със сигурност сте останали с усещането, че е тук от по-дълго. Със своето неподправено чувство за хумор, колорит, весел нрав и искрена усмивка, чичо Митко с лекота ни кара да се засмеем и почувстваме по-добре като допринася за положителните емоции, които ще ни следват дълго след почивката ни.
За всички от екипа на Травентурия е чест и искрена радост да работим заедно с него, както и с всички наши шофьори.
Желаем лек път и още много усмивки на чичо Митко. Признателни сме за неотменната колегиалност и професионализъм, проявявани и в най-трудни моменти..

⌛ How curious are you about our recent past?
🚙 Join us for a day trip to Buzludzha Monument and the Rose Valley!
The Monument House of the Bulgarian Communist Party, also known as the BUZLUDZHA MONUMENT, was built on Buzludzha peak (1441m) in central Bulgaria by the Bulgarian communist government and inaugurated in 1981. After the government's fall in 1989, the site was abandoned.
Today the Monument can be seen only from outside. However, the views from the peak are worth visiting.
Let us take you on a day trip to the Buzludzha Monument and Rose Valley. On the way we'll show you the Bulgarian oil-producing rose Damascena at the Rose Valley near Kazanlak. Another trip stop will be the Russian Orthodox-style church in Shipka.
Let us take you to the Valley of the Roses, show you how rose oil is produced, fascinate you with a Thracian tomb near Kazanlak, surprise you with a beautiful Russian style church near Shipka village and finally introduce you to some of the most important Bulgarian historical events in the picturesque town of Koprivshtitsa.
Book with confidence for the 30th of May and for more dates in June!

Some of the lakes are starting to show below the snow. However, more time and more sunshine hours will be needed before all the snow is gone.

Even though the lakes (and the area around) are still covered with snow, the beauty of the Rila Mountains awes you.
Join our trip, but kindly keep in mind to be prepared with proper hiking winter boots, winter jackets, waterproof clothes and some trekking stamina! :) 🏔️

May is here and some roses have already blossomed. 🥀
There are two day tours you can join with Traventuria if you want to enjoy the beautiful fields with blossoming Bulgarian roses 🌹 and discover how the famous Bulgarian rose oil is produced:
In the heart of Bulgaria, a gem so rare,
Veliko Tarnovo, a city beyond compare.
Nestled by the Yantra, where history's tales reside,
A city with a spirit that never can hide.
Oh, Veliko Tarnovo, your hills embrace the sky,
Where the past and the present in harmony lie.
A tapestry of moments, both ancient and new,
In your cobbled streets, dreams take flight like birds do.
The Tsarevets Fortress, atop a rugged hill,
Whispers of empires and the secrets they instill.
A history etched in stone, a kingdom's grandeur,
Where the echoes of time are heard in every fur.
Beneath your ancient arches, Samovodska's charm,
A marketplace of memories, a living art form.
The artisans and crafts folk, in shadows dance,
Their creations tell stories, in every single glance.
Yantra's gentle waters mirror your grace,
Reflecting the past in each ripple's embrace.
From Asenova to Emen, your nature unfolds,
A tapestry of beauty, where stories are told.
The cobblestone pathways, where footsteps have trod,
In Veliko Tarnovo, the city of God.
A blend of tradition, both old and avant-garde,
In your embrace, history and dreams are interlaced.
So, Veliko Tarnovo, your beauty does shine,
In your culture and history, in your heart so fine.
A city of wonder, a treasure untold,
In your embrace, my heart finds its hold.
/author unknown/

Plovdiv is more than a city of historical sites and tourist attractions. It is a fully live and busy city with rich everyday atmosphere. Ancient history and culture mix together with the comtemporary life of people, thus making the tour in Plovdiv a unique experience for every traveler.
Here on the photos below, we accidently met with the students from a local middle school in Plovdiv (dressed with traditional Bulgarian folklore costumes) and they were sweet enough to take pictures with our tour group. Thank you @СУ "П. Кр. Яворов" - Пловдив!

It's Forest Week in Bulgaria! Happy holiday to all people who take care of the Bulgarian forests. 🌳
Healthy forests sustain healthy people!
Forests provide us with oxygen, shelter, jobs, water, nourishment and fuel. With so many people dependent on forests, the fate of our forests may determine our own fate as well.
Celebrating Forest Week by sharing one of the ten information boards we developed and placed along the Alley of Herbs - a famous hiking path in the Vitosha Nature Park (Природен Парк Витоша). The initiative would not have been realized without the financing from our partners from Strypes Group (Strypes) who wrote these super kind words for us: "We are delighted to support Traventuria and work together for a greener future. At Strypes Group we believe that a clean and beautiful environment is our responsibility and every small step in this direction counts!"
👇❗️
Proudly sharing also that this Summer/Fall season 2024, Traventuria is having guaranteed shared tours to the Vitosha Mountains and Cherni Vrah peak!

What is the Outstanding Universal Value of Boyana Church?
🔹This medieval Bulgarian Orthodox Church, situated in the outskirts of Sofia (the capital of Bulgaria), has been in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979!
🔹Boyana Church consists of three buildings. The eastern church was built in the 10th century, then enlarged at the beginning of the 13th century by Sebastocrator Kaloyan, who ordered a second two storey building to be erected next to it. The frescoes in this second church, painted in 1259, make it one of the most important collections of medieval paintings. The ensemble is completed by a third church, built at the beginning of the 19th century. This site is one of the most complete and perfectly preserved monuments of east European medieval art.
The Wall Paintings
🔹There are several layers of wall paintings in the interior of the church from the 11th, 13th, 15-17th and 19th centuries which testify to the high level of wall painting during the different periods. The paintings with the most Outstanding Artistic Value are those from the 13th century. Whilst they interpret the Byzantine canon, the images have a special spiritual expressiveness and vitality and are painted in harmonious proportions.
The Architecture
🔹From an architectural point of view, Boyana Church is a pure example of a church with a Greek cross ground-plan with dome, richly decorated facades and decoration of ceramic elements. It is one of the most remarkable medieval monuments with especially fine wall paintings.
A Must-See Destination
🔹These and other interesting facts about Boyana Church can be learnt from our Rila Monastery & Boyana Church Day Tour From Sofia, starting at 09:00 am every day of the week all year round.

Traventuria has been established in 2009 by three enthusiasts with a passion for travelling. They had strong management skills, a solid background in the travel industry and good luck. This proved enough to start a successful tourist agency at the time of world economic recession. Nowadays the passion of the three managers "contaminated" about 40 employees that make the team of Traventuria - a company leader in culture day trips, adventure experiences and ski holidays in Bulgaria.
Social and Environment Protection Engagement
All our activities are done with care for the environment and the local people. Traventuria is continuously donating and being involved in numerous environmental causes such as placing signboards at Belasitsa Nature Park, maintenance of students laboratory at the Biological Faculty at Sofia University, planting trees in Sredna Gora Mountain, birdwatching monitoring excursions and others.
Yearly part of the profit of Traventuria also goes to helping children suffering from Spina Bifida disease.
Adventure Tours (BulgariaWalking.com)
At the Adventure Tours Department, we specialize in self-guided and guided hiking and walking tours in Bulgaria.
Our guided treks, revealing the best of the Bulgarian mountain trails, traditions and culture: i.e. the best of the Pirin and Rila Mountains, combo tours of hiking and sightseeing, snowshoeing, one-day hikes from Sofia, centre-based rambling tours and the trek climbing the three highest peaks of Bulgaria etc.
As pioneers in the development of the self-guided walking tours in Bulgaria, we have been continuously optimizing our itineraries to deliver the best value and quality. For moderate hiking we would advise visiting the Rhodope Mountains, while for more challenging trekking you can refer to the Rila and Vitosha mountains or the hardest one - Pirin. Those seeking maximum impressions can go for a combination.
