If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 20 miles away, Sandanski is worth jumping in the car for. Pirin National Park ought to be at the top of your list here. Rozhen Monastery and Villa Melnik Winery are also not to be missed. Don’t miss Blagoevgrad either! Just 45 miles away, Bachinovo Park, Church Vavedenie Bogorodichno and Church of Vavedenie Presvetiya Bogoroditsi are essential stops here.
