Plovdiv: Visit Perperikon and the Stone mushrooms

Small group bigger experience!

Discover the Mystical Wonders of Rhodope mountain on a day trip from Plovdiv. Our adventure begins with a visit to the enchanting Gillek Waterfall—a hidden gem nestled in nature's embrace. We'll take a short, scenic hike to reach this magical spot, perfect for photos, fresh air, and a peaceful start to your journey.

In the next stop we will explore one of Bulgaria's most awe-inspiring archaeological sites, nestled in the heart of the Eastern Rhodope. Known as the “Stone City,” this ancient complex dates back to 5,000 BC and has witnessed the rise and fall of multiple civilizations. Walk among the ruins of massive stone palaces, temples, and fortresses carved directly into the rock. Feel the sacred energy of what was once a thriving religious and political center.

Just a short ride away, be mesmerized by the surreal natural phenomenon of the Stone Mushrooms. These towering rock formations, shaped like giant mushrooms, stand 2.5–3 meters tall and dazzle with shades of pink, green, and blue. Formed over millions of years by wind and water, they’re not just a geological wonder — they’re steeped in local folklore involving giants and mythological spirits.

Around 5pm we will back in Plovdiv
