AYLAK - A PLOVDIV STATE OF MIND (Bulgaria's Oldest City!)

Our second stop on this epic road trip was Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria and the entire town has a seemless integration with it's ancient passed. There are Roman ruins (Ancient Stadium of Philipopolis) right in the middle of the pedestrian street (Knyaz Aleksandar I) as well as one of the best preserved roman theatres in the world sitting a few hundred meters away! (Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis) we got to see both while attempting to live a traditional Plovdiv life and embracing 'Aylyak' we really had no idea there would be Roman ruins in Plovdiv!
Unfortauntely we were both not feeling well and couldn't stay out in the cityas long as we would have liked so i'm sure we missed a bunch!
Thanks for watching

Wonderful short video about Plovdiv, it's great to see you loved your time there and aylyak is used a lot indeed hahaha, love from Bulgaria to Australia, all Aussie people I have met are easy-going chill people, keep up the content going and wish you all the best in your trips !

[@JordanandEmily]

Thanks so much! 😊 yeah our time filming in Plovdiv was pretty short, but we loved the city

[@overpad1]

@@JordanandEmily If you ever happen to visit Plovdiv again I recommend doing it in spring, it's not too hot it's not cold, perfect for walks, a lot of events going on and you should definitely visit the rowing canal, it's fully packed during the weekends as it's the most picked spot for weekend chill walks.

People always overlook the Celtic presence in places like Bulgaria, Sofia and Plovdiv were Celtic strongholds, Serbia (which has a mountain called "Tara") and basically along every river valley in Europe. I dont know why that history is always left out.

[@JordanandEmily]

We had no idea! It really didn't come up in our research at all 🤔 thanks for the info though! 😊

@@JordanandEmily I dont blame you, I lived in Sofia for a year and didnt even know it.

Ти незнаеш, но аз знам. У нас келти не е имало. Не опитвай като гърците, да крадеш чужда слава.

@@dragozhekovdragov8377 Келти по нашите земи е имало. Тяхната експанзия до 275г п.н.е достига до днешна севрозападна България, южното ни черноморие от Бургас надолу, и даже имат един джоб чак долу в Анадола.

Не снимате какво ядете....много хора се интересуват най вече от храната , ресторантите и къде спите. Жалко тази информация я няма и без нея не е интересно.

Maybe search food food tours if that what you are more interested in 😊
