Hello people, does maybe anyone has knowledge of a monastery where guests, people from outside are welcome to stay for some time? I don't mean any religion reason for that, neither I'm not a tourist running through those places. I mean more just a place, where one can stay and have a break from hectic city life...Thanks for any answers.

Many monasteries in Bulgaria offer accommodation options. It depends on what you're looking for - big and heavily visited monastery or a small and quiet one, far from usual tourist routes.

If the first option suites you, then check the Bachkovo monastery and the Rila Monastery. There's a lot to see in both of these.

If you are for option 2, then check Glozhene monastery /Гложенски манастир/ and Dryanovo monastery /Дряновски манастир/. Be aware that most smaller monasteries may not offer food, so having a car at hand might be necessary.

The website in the previous comment is a very good guide!

Thanks Kristiann! Do all monasteries operate all year round, like in winter too?
