Description
We are a family with two children 12 and 7 years old. We live in a small village very close to Plovdiv (4km) in a beautiful House with garden. My name is Milena, I'm Bulgarian, 44 years old, my husband Thomas is german, 44 years old. We use to live in Germany, but for 5 Years we have moved to Plovdiv. So we and our children speak fluently Bulgarian and German. Plovdiv ist amazing city, the oldest in Europe and has a lot to offer. It's still a secret tip and not so touristic. The city has a beautiful center with a lot of small nice streets with cafes and handcraft shops, beautiful old town. Very close to Plovdiv is the Rhodope Mountain (30min with a car) and the Black sea is 2 hours with a car.
