Hidden at the foot of the Pirin Mountain, it impresses with its white houses, majestic sand pyramids and aromatic red wine. Its history is deep &#8211; from the Thracians, through the Romans and Byzantines, to the Bulgarian despots and Renaissance merchants. Every street here keeps traces of the past, every facade &#8211; a footprint of time. Melnik is more than a destination &#8211; it is a feeling left in stone, wood and a sip of wine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs style_default switch_click accordion type_togglable has_scrolling\" style=\"--sections-title-size:inherit\"><div class=\"w-tabs-sections titles-align_none icon_chevron cpos_right\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section new_tab_links\" id=\"h708\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-h708\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">\ud83d\udea9 Timecode for quick access to video moments<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-h708\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>You can navigate directly to a desired moment in the video by clicking on the timer\ud83d\udc46<br \/>\n<span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\"><a class=\"yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ciZMEPHqIPc\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">0:00<\/a><\/span><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\"> &#8211;

We talk about the etymology of its name, the rocks that surround it, and how the town passed through the hands of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires to be reborn with wine and trade. We show the main sights &#8211; from the Church of St. From the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, to the Wine Museum and the Cordobulus House, to the Bolyar Building and the History Museum. We also tell you about Despot Slav, about Sandanski, and about the spirit of the town that can be felt in every cobblestone street. We&#8217;ve included itineraries, secret shortcuts, and even helpful tips for visiting the Nativity of the Virgin Mary Monastery.<\/p>\n<p>In this series, we take a walk through the cobblestone streets of Melnik, a small town but rich in history and culture. We see the monument of Yane Sandanski and talk about the historical significance of the town during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. We stop at the main temples and museums, talk about the wine and cultural heritage, present the Kordopulova and Bolyarska house, as well as the many opportunities for hiking trails. Access to the fortress of Despot Slav, the temples and the Rozhen Monastery is also shown in detail. The episode combines history, practical advice and personal experience, without unnecessary pathos but with respect for the place.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator hide_on_default hide_on_laptops hide_on_tablets hide_on_mobiles size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none hide_on_default hide_on_laptops hide_on_tablets hide_on_mobiles\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_11\" href=\"#summary\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">\u041e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0442\u043d\u043e \u043a\u044a\u043c \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0438\u044f\u0442\u0430<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_e7f5d98a height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\" id=\"location-rating\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>\u2b50 Location assessment<\/h2>\n<p>The assessment is entirely based on my personal impression and is made according to several main criteria considered separately.
