With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Pirin National Park, 25 miles away, has to offer. Rozhen Monastery, Villa Melnik Winery and Mitko Manolev Winery alone make the drive out worth it. Bansko Ski Resort is another wonderful option. It’s 30 miles away and offers an array of fun things to see and do. Gondola Lift, Dobrinishte Ski Resort and Vihren are just the start.
