With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Blagoevgrad, 19 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Bachinovo Park, Church Vavedenie Bogorodichno and Church of Vavedenie Presvetiya Bogoroditsi. Located 30 miles away, Sandanski is another popular option. If you visit, make sure you check out Pirin National Park, Rozhen Monastery and Villa Melnik Winery.
