Buhalov Han - Center for crafts and cultural traditions

Reviewed By _E1738YO

This place is an absolutely unique time machine! We had a great experience reviewing all the talent and all the great creations by many talented people - some were sewing (yes, sewing) jewelry, others were "bending" wood, wool, etc. It was a beautiful experience, the atmosphere was fantastic, the people were sweet and welcoming, and the smell of lavender was hypnotizing. Don't miss the Pateva House too - it is amazing in its own way! You can relive the past, observe how different herbs are being processed into cosmetics, try some rose juice or rose rakia, dress in traditional bulgarian costumes for this time period, wear the crown of the Rose queens - it is a must see!
