Did you know that Bulgaria has over 40,000 archaeological and historical sites, including 7 UNESCO World Heritage listed?
With Greece and Turkey as neighbours, it comes as no surprise to find that Bulgaria too has it s own wealth of historic sites that have revealed stunning treasures from long ago. Roman, Byzantine and Greek treasures are plenty, but it is what the mysterious Thracians have left behind that fascinates the most, making Bulgaria a truly exciting destination for all who love ancient history. And guess what - It s still a bit of a secret! Many sites, often discovered by chance, are still being excavated, others are open to the public for viewing and many of the treasures found are on display in museums around the country, if they don t just happen to be on exhibit elsewhere in the world.
