The greatest part about having your own ride is that you can go anywhere, anytime. Make the most of your newfound freedom by exploring all there is on offer in Sandanski. It’s just 25 miles away. Pirin National Park, Rozhen Monastery and Villa Melnik Winery alone justify the drive out here. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Blagoevgrad, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Bachinovo Park. (But we’d also recommend Church Vavedenie Bogorodichno and Church of Vavedenie Presvetiya Bogoroditsi.)
