Hidden Bulgaria Tour from Obzor with River Cruise and Lunch

The best way to get to know the Bulgarian culture is by meeting the locals for whom it's a way of life. With a visit to ancient Byala, a riverboat trip and an afternoon of folklore and fun with the grannies of Solnik village, you'll experience a lot on this varied day out.

First up is the seaside town of Byala, on the St. Atanas Cape. Discover its rich history dating back to the Byzantine era as you walk through the area. You'll see ancient pottery making equipment, a partially restored winery and the impressive Basilica. Soaking up the expansive sea view from the top of the cliffs is all part of the Byala experience. Next, we will head to Kamchiya for a 25-minute boat trip along the river to enjoy the beauty of the Bulgarian countryside.

Last but not least, we'll head for the quaint village of Solnik, where we will visit Granny Radka's house. You'll be invited to take a look at the display of typical clothes, try some local rose liqueur and tuck into a tasty lunch of dishes from the region, freshly prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Then you'll be immersed in Bulgarian folklore when you watch a song and dance performance by the village elders dressed in the traditional costume. You can even join in if you wish.
