A view of Melnik traditional architecture, Bulgaria


Melnik is a town in Blagoevgrad Province, southwestern Bulgaria, in the southwestern Pirin Mountains. Melnik is one of Bulgaria's most unique towns due to its traditional architecture, local wine, and location (about 20km north of Greece). The town is an architectural reserve and 96 of its buildings are cultural monuments. Tucked beneath imposing sandstone cliffs, the village has historically been a wine-production center.
