This 200-year traditional old house since 1800s is truly a well preserved old Bulgarian house with impressive murals and architecture and definitely the wine cellar for wine tasting experience, a must while you are in Melnik. Come early before 6pm even its official closing time is 6.30pm as the lady in charge for the house often close the door 1 hour before the official closing time.

The Rozhen Monastery is the largest monastery in Pirin Macedonia, Bulgaria, one of the several medieval Bulgarian monasteries, well preserved till nowadays. It is inhabited by monks whose tranquility should not be disturbed. In the monastery there is a copy of the miraculous icon of St. Virgin Mary. 200 m from the monastery you will find the church where Yane Sandanski was buried.

We decided to visit Velyanova House following some excellent reviews on TripAdvisor, and yes, I can safely say it is worth the entrance fee of 3 leva per person! Built in the second half of 18th century, this is a typical Bansko house with its beautiful murals and wooden carvings. Hidden underground passages and little nooks and crannies seem to have been its characteristic features, although you cannot actually see any of these. Only the first floor is open to visitors, where you can see traditional rooms - sitting rooms, bedroom, etc. We were told that the ground floor is converted into some storage rooms, a workshop with a weaving loom and a conference room and none of these were open to the public at the time we visited. Advice: there is a talk in English which you can ask for, whilst you are wondering around, it will provide some more insight into the history of the house and background information on life in Bansko during those times. We loved "the blue room", specifically designed for Velyan's wife, imagining how it perhaps provided cosy and calm sanctuary, respite from her busy day. The front garden is beautiful, with flowers and herbs, and a well prominently featured in the garden. The house is not well sign posted, we found it following our GPS navigator.
