The Rhodopes are vast and very old mountains to the south of Bulgaria. Rila and Pirin mountains are their neighbours to the west, the Plain of Thrace borders the Rhodopes from the north and the east and their southern border is the Aegean Sea depression. The Rhodopes comprises of many rolling mountain ridges divided by deep river valleys and spacious hollows. The scenery in this mountain is really superb – gentle rolling hills, rich green valleys, magnificent limestone gorges, fascinating caves, Thracian and Roman roads, picturesque ancient villages with centuries old houses, mosques, churches and humpbacked bridges. The hospitality of the people in the mountains is famous and unhurried pace of life is really impressive. To say nothing of the delicious local food.
