Hey everyone, I'm planning a visit to Bachkovo Monastery from Plovdiv and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get there. Tours seem really pricey, especially with tips included. Has anyone taken a taxi for this trip? How was the experience and would you say it was worth it? Also, any tips on negotiating the fare would be super helpful.
Taking a taxi from Plovdiv to Bachkovo Monastery can be a convenient option, especially if you prefer flexibility. It's about a 30-minute drive, so it shouldn't be too expensive. I recommend discussing the fare before you get in; a good range is around 20-30 BGN. You could also consider using a rideshare app if available, as it can make the pricing more transparent. Have you thought about timing? Visiting early in the day can help avoid the crowds!
