More about this tour

This 6 days/5 nights bike tour starts in the city of Kardzhali which is the main administrative center of the Eastern Rhodope mountains.
It is the perfect way to explore this peaceful part of South Bulgaria bordering with Greece.

The tour follows the TransRhodope bike trail which connects a whole network of villages, farmers, houses, small pubs and local factories and thus supports the local economy, mainly based on the tobacco, sesame and nuts production.
