Magic of Rural Tourism |

Whether
you go to Kovachevitsa, Leshten, Dolen, Delchevo, Teshevo, Dobrinishte,
Dobursko, or Banya, you will feel there the pulse of the well-forgotten
world of simplicity, homeliness, and delicious food. The Rhodope
Mountain villages of Kovachevitsa, Leshten, and Dolen keep their
Revival-style architecture: tall stone walls, baked earth roof
tiles, and a unique style.

You
get a sense of the times gone by as you wander down the tiny
cobble stone roads or chat over herbal tea and homemade jam
in the Kapsuzovi Houses. Take a peek into the galleries or
try the specialities of the tavern at the village square in
Leshten.You will relax as you watch the beautiful views and
breathe in the fresh mountain air in Delchevo and Teshevo.
Listen to the storytelling of the old women and go picking
chestnuts and wild herbs.

In Breznitsa, you will sit at a local gathering and watch
the women do embroidery, sing, and perform their customs.
There you can also taste their homemade dishes. In Dobrinishte
you will go on a trip and have a forest picnic in Pirin, then
lunch in a Macedonian-style tavern, where you will meet the
local pranksters. Make sure not to miss the folk jokes of
the Doburski babi near the "Sts Theodore Tyron and Theodore
Stratilates".

In
Greece, you can do some grape picking in Adriani, Agora, and
Mikrochori, or you can head for the winery straight away. You
can take part in the spuds festival in Kato Nevrokopi and in
the cotton celebration in Photolyvos. The women from Kokkinogia
will treat you to homemade pastries, jams, and herbal liqueurs
prepared according to old recipes. |
