Plovdiv, Bulgaria`s second largest city.
It`s one of the oldest still living European cities - contemporary to
Troy (Turkey), older than Rome (Italy) and Athens (Greece). It keeps
thousands monuments from prehistoric times - 8 000 years ago, from the
time when Alexander the Great called it Philipopolis - in memory of
his father Philip - 4 c.B.C., from the days it was capital of the
Thracian kingdom - till 45 A.D.
Roman theater, stadium, odeon, mosaics, Renaissance houses and
islamic, orthodox, catholic and Jewish temples adorn the city, which
is geological, botanical, archaeological, historical and architectural
reserve. Many travelers, for example Evliya Cheleby from the 17 c.
call it the most beautiful of all Balcan cities...
It is indeed!

Βουλγαρία. Μία χώρα καί ένας λαός τόσο κοντά, αλλά παράλληλα καί τόσο μακριά. Τά τελευταία όμως χρόνια, μέ τήν έλευση μεταναστών από τήν Βουλγαρία στήν Ελλάδα, εδόθη ή ευκαιρία σέ πολλούς νά γνωρίσουν τίς συνήθειες καί τήν συμπεριφορά των.
