Haskovo
Haskovo is located 78km southeast of Plovdiv. The town hosts several festivals throughout the year and serves as a springboard for visiting the nature reserve at Madzharovo. Aside from that, its appeal lies in the mixture of Turkish and Bulgarian culture, symbolised by the oldest mosque in the Balkans.
The region is characterised by fertile land and moderate continental climate. Three rivers Maritza, Arda and Tundzha flow through the territory of the region. Roads connecting the Mediterranean with Thracia and the Rhodopes have been built along the rivers since ancient times. Many monuments from the Thracian epoch, the Greek antiquity, the Roman times, the Middle ages and the Renaissance are preserved in the region.
The geographical location on the border of Greece and Turkey and our complicated history has designated this region as a crossroad of different cultures, religions and ethnic traditions. This combination has created a cultural richness to a land full of natural beauty that makes the region of Haskovo one of the most attractive areas for tourists in Bulgaria.
