Bulgaria
Saint Georgi Monastery
The region’s only active male monastery is also home to some beautiful artwork.
About
Founded in the 7th century, Saint George Monastery was likely built on top of a Thracian sanctuary as an ancient marble bas-relief of a Thracian rider. While Bulgaria was under Ottoman rule, the monastery was destroyed, with only a 17th century icon of St. George surviving. Like most of the old Bulgarian monasteries this was destroyed and burnt during the Ottoman rule. Since those days remained only a charred icon of St. George dating back to 1607. After the Ottomans were expelled in the 19th century, the monastery was rebuilt, and filled with icons from the 17th through 19th centuries.

If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
