Bulgaria Inside

The beautiful town of Zlatograd is hidden in the heart of the Rhodope Mountain, close to the border with Greece. Zlatograd’s ethnographic complex is one of the town’s prides, alongside its breathtaking nature and rich historic background. The complex is unique, since a single private initiative led to its creation.

A private company provided the funds in 2001. Zlatograd’s complex is similar to Etur in Gabrovo. The complex is situated in the central part of the town and is easily accessible. Its atmosphere makes visitors forget about the present time and go back in history.

In the beginning, examine the historic and ethnographic exposition. It will tell you more about the region’s past and the local lifestyle. Once you learn more about Zlatograd, proceed with exploring the rest of the complex.

Many craftsmen demonstrate their skills in little shops. They will also answer your questions. If you are lucky, you might receive a gift. Craftsmen will encourage you to explore each detail in their shops. You can buy or order products in each one. A souvenir shop also functions in the complex. If you get tired, rest in the small coffee shop or the restaurants that offer Rhodope cuisine.

Zlatograd has several hotels. If you like quiet rest in the mountain, you will truly enjoy the place. Though it values its background, Zlatograd offers all modern-day facilities needed for a comfortable stay.
