We’re still not over it. The beauty of Bulgaria and this entire region has completely blown us away 🇧🇬 We kept asking each other: How have we never heard of this before?! But that’s the magic of sailing with Viking — they take you straight to the places the world hasn’t discovered yet 🛳️💫 Here’s what the rest of the day looked like: 🧀 Visited a local Bulgarian family’s homeThey taught us to make Banitza (the most delicious traditional pastry) AND shared the secrets behind Bulgaria’s world-famous yogurt.
