Burgas Shore Excursion

THIS TOUR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

This private Burgas shore trip allows you to experience small village life which has changed very little over the centuries. As you meet local people you will feel the spirit of their traditions and see the real shine of Bulgaria.

After meeting your guide in Burgas you depart for the village of Giliovca where you will visit a local family. The hosts will show you their vegetable garden and then invite you to taste some of the fruits and vegetables which they have grown. A special treat is the sampling of the local home-made brandy called rakia.

Next you enjoy the beautiful scenery including pastures and the lavender massif (blossom in July) during your drive to the village of Erketch. This charming village enjoy beautiful views as it sits at an elevation of almost 1600 feet above sea level. Here nature, centuries old traditions and everyday life coexist together.

You will visit a local house which is an old manufacturer of lemonade and also houses a small museum showing authentic traditional clothes and costumes. You will have the opportunity to wear these costumes and take some pictures if you wish. In another home you taste banitsa (traditional cheese pastry) and some home-made yoghurt.

After exploring typical life in these charming villages you will be brought back to Burgas.
