RE: East West By The Sea's The Best (PowerUp 100%)
I want shopska!!
You should send this photo to some food photo contest ...
My favourite place in Bulgaria is Veliko Tarnovo. An awesome city! I want to come back once.
When I wrote this post I was hoping that somebody who has already been to Bulgaria would comment on it - so there you are @datych!
That's a great choice of salad - shopska is the favourite of many, especially now in spring, summer season. Point taken - I will make sure I enter a food competition with the photo featured here.
I like the architecture and authenticity of Veliko Tarnovo too and it sort of resembles the thumbnail photo of your Mountains of Georgia post.
:) Veliko Tarnovo doesn't have sea and this is why it is not as famous as, let's say, Dubrovnik. And this is what I need - a perfect place without crowds. Still, the place is a popular destination full of beautiful cafes hanging over the river, with Medieval constructions as well as narrow romantic streets of later times... Great people, relaxed, welcoming, and trustworthy. Would be good to have 10 days there, just renting a small room and taking images day by day...
When you @datych commented mentioning Dubrovnik, I was actually writing a post about Croatia, featuring Split though - what a coincidence :)
Spending lets say 10 days in Veliko Tarnovo will give you plenty of photography opportunities and more time to take it all in. There is a Sound and Light Show too (maybe you've heard about it?) which is a photography challenge but photos of it would be worth every effort.
As you love off the beaten path places, the villages of Leshten and Kovachevitsa and the town of Melnik must go on list too. They are all situated in the western part of Bulgaria though and back in the days craftsmen originally from Veliko Tarnovo were moving to this mountainous area and building stunning houses to reveal their skills.
:) Thank you! When I am in Bulgaria, I will ask you to remind me these names. :)
I gladly will @datych! You can certainly count on me so you make the most of your stay there :)
