“Excellent guide parfaitement anglophone (Krasimir). Voiture privée. Sites très intéressants (tombeaux Thraces notamment et mosquée de Stara Zagora). En revanche les villes traversées (Kazanlak, Stara Zagora) sont grises et tristes, jonchées de bâtiments soviétiques sans âme… De plus je m’attendais à des paysages somptueux (montagnes, vallées des roses…) mais en réalité au moins d’avril, cela ressemblait plutôt à une triste campagne grisâtre vallonée…”
