Almost every house in the village offers accommodation. Prices are rather low. Owners will take into consideration your culinary preferences when preparing meals for you. Make sure to try the unique Rhodope dishes like patatnik (made of potatoes and white cheese), klin (type of pie), local grilled meat, hominy that is made several ways. Cooks in the village use herbs that you would rarely find in your local store.

Nature in the region is remarkable. Massive stone slabs form the Trigrad gorge. The road winds between the huge stones. The caves Diavolskoto Gurlo, Haramiyska and Yagodinska are situated near the village.

Nearly every household in the village deals with tourism. Many guest-houses offer accommodation. One entertainment opportunity you can enjoy there is a horseback ride to the nearby landmarks.
