5/5 Denitsa G. 5 years ago on Google • 143 reviews
A
beautiful
sight,
located
in
a
wide
green
meadow
just
off
the
road
from
Yoakim
Gruevo
town
to
Perushtitsa
town.
You
can't
park
your
car
in
front
of
the
basilica,
you
have
to
leave
it
by
the
road,
but
the
path
to
the
Tourist
Information
Center
and
the
basilica
is
picturesque
enough,
passing
by
a
channel,
fields
of
strawberries,
and
cherry
trees.
The
path
is
around
700
meters
and
it's
wheelchair
accessible.
The
basilica
itself
is
nicely
preserved,
but
don't
expect
to
see
too
much
of
it--mostly
the
eastern
wall.
Some
of
the
centuries-old
frescos
are
still
visible
and
very
impressive.
There
are
information
signs
in
Bulgarian
and
English
that
can
give
you
interesting
details
about
the
place.
There's
a
path
that
circles
around
the
remains
of
the
basilica,
with
benches
to
sit
and
relax.
The
path
is
wheelchair
accessible,
although
a
bit
overgrown
with
grass
and
doesn't
allow
access
into
the
basilica
itself.
You
can
buy
souvenirs
are
the
information
center
as
well
as
use
the
toilets
there.
The
information
center
has
fixed
working
hours,
but
the
basilica
doesn't,
so
you
can
visit
it
at
any
time--just
follow
the
path
on
the
right
of
the
information
center.
The
place
is
a
30-40
minutes
drive
from
Plovdiv.
