The charming town of Melnik lies in southwestern Bulgaria. While small in size with a population of 400 or less, Melnik enjoys a far-reaching reputation for various reasons, including its rich historical background. Its earliest residents include the tribespeople of the legendary Spartacus, followed by the Ottoman Empire and the Russian people. This complex and nuanced history is still reflected in the local culture and an astonishing number of architectural landmarks from different eras. The Melnik Badlands are also a stunning natural attraction with geological formations in mysterious shapes - some may see a mushroom while others visualize an ancient tower! After a perfect day out exploring Melnik, treat yourself to a glass of distinctive Bulgarian wine from the region that will surely give you a great night’s slumber.
