Beautiful Bulgaria, love and respect from Greece 🇬🇷 🤝🇧🇬

[magriotkostadinov]

People in the West mistakenly think that Bulgarian cheese is similar to Greek feta cheese, but it is exactly the opposite. The Greeks copied the recipe for Bulgarian cheese and yogurt. In Bulgaria, cheese has been made for centuries, and in Greece for the last 50 years.

As a Lebanese that has had the honor to work alongside Bulgarians, I have nothing but admiration for Bulgarian People.

I really admire how polite and well mannered they are.

I visited Bulgaria twice I honestly felt like I was in Paradise especially in the spring.

I love and admire the amazing beautiful people of Bulgaria, 🇱🇧❤️🇧🇬

Zdrasti from Lebanon! 🇱🇧

Plovdiv is not one of the oldest, but the oldest city in Europe, and this is not an opinion but an official fact.

[minglinnnlinnn]

Some inaccuracies.
Sophia pride is not national tradition. There has never been repression against people of different sexual orientation.
This is attempt for implementation from foreign unfavourable influences to Bulgaria. Bulgaria is one of the most tolerant countries towards the different.
Bulgaria is East Orthodox Christian country.
Plovdiv is oldest city in Europe.
National celebrations day third of March is day of liberty of Bulgaria, which won its independence from the Ottoman yoke during the Russo-Turkish war of liberation for Bulgaria.

You forgot to talk about the fastest internet infrastructure in Europe

[Ana-mxmz]

Bulgaria is a very beautiful country with nice and calm people, who can be very strong.Ancient country

[ozcankaramanoglu]

The symbol of Bulgaria, the “Madara horse rider”, first and second capitals: “Pliska” and “Preslav” worth mentioning as well! Thank you for creating such an amazing video of our country and we await curious visitors from all around the world!

[kukubend]

The pearl of the Balkans! No other Balkan country is as beautiful and has more culture and traditions than Bulgaria!!! 🇧🇬

[vladimirdimitrovdyulgerov]

PROUD TO BE A BULGARIAN
Pitty that i immmigrated in 1996 and i miss BULGARIA so much 😢

4:58 №23 - Baba Marta is not just about tying Martenitsi to blossoming trees. On 1st of March, Martenitsi are tied to all people AND animals. So it has created a custom of everyone making or buying Martenitsi and then giving them to their friends and family on the 1st of March. We usually then take off and tie the Martenitsi to blossoming trees after we see a stork, a swallow. In some parts of the country some people take them off after they see other birds, but I myself am not too familiar with that. Usually seeing a Stork or a Swallow is a sign of good luck, this is why we then take off the martenitsa and tie it to a tree for good luck. Although I do know that in some parts of the country, some also throw theirs in rivers, because in Bulgaria there is the saying for good luck "to walk on water", which is a literal wish for things to go as smooth as flowing water. Sorry if this sounds a bit complicated, but I'm unsure about how to phrase our customs in English, since translating them in a literal sense sometimes just sounds like nonsense in English, lmao

[desislavamarinova]

The oldest country with this name in Europe, and recently, in the Bacho Kiro cave in Bulgaria, an international team has discovered the oldest Homo sapiens in Europe to date. You missed the international masquerade festival in Pernik, which is visited by people from all over the Nice video, well done!😍

[vladimirdimitrovdyulgerov]

Oh how much I miss my beautiful country BULGARIA .

[teotheterrible]

13. Plovdiv was already populated in the 11th century B.C. and remains so to this day. It is one of the world's five oldest cities and the First in Europe*

[Krokodil]

Amazing video! What i don't see anyone taking about tho is:
- new year feast & xmas eve feast tradition (they're more important than xmas itself, many ppl get together and feast thru the night, dance horo etc)
- the calendar (oldest and most astronomically accurate) / the cosmic knowledge of the proto Bulgarians (their emblem was a diagram of 6-8 planets moving around the sun iirc)
- the Bulgarians created multiple countries named "Bulgaria", the one that exists today is the only one that survived
- medieval history - eg the Bulgarian ruler once prevented Europe from likely being arab-ised
- the first capital of the First Bulgarian Empire was called Pliska and in the 800s it had water heating and sewage systems

[asyabankova]

Thank you for the video! Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬❤️
