Bulgaria

Excavations near Varna, Bulgaria, have uncovered what is believed to be Europe's oldest prehistoric town, dating back to 4,700 - 4,200 BC. The site reveals an advanced settlement with two-story houses, ritual pits, gate structures, bastions, and fortified walls, providing invaluable insight into early human civilization.

In November 2021, my best friend and I decided to visit the beautiful country of Bulgaria. We knew Bulgaria isn’t really a place for winter vacation (unless you like skiing and snowboarding), but wanted to check out a specific destination: The Seven Rila Lakes!

Melnik, in southwestern Bulgaria, is home to just four hundred people who exist in a historically riveting location that is a huge hit with wine tourism enthusiasts.
