Things to Do  

Relax!

Relax!, Devin

 bijo69 Says:  There isn't an awful lot to do in Devin except for enjoying the mineral baths and the spa treatments.A small museum showing the works of local artists is located in the centre, but I didn't visit it.If you're into hiking there are small trails into the mountains. 

St. Ivan Rilski Church

St. Ivan Rilski Church, Devin

 hekate Says:  St. Ivan Rilski Church is considered to be one of the places of interest in Devin. I have not been inside of the church, nor I spoke with somebody from the church, so I can not say much about it. The church is relatively new. It was built in 1937. I suspect that it probably... 

The town's museum

The town's museum, Devin

 hekate Says:  What you see on the picture is Devin's history museum. It is easy to find, right in the center, opposite the house of culture. There are signs around the town directing you to the museum.I tried to visit it but while I was there it was closed. I am not sure if it was closed... 

The building of Devin municipality

Hotel Elite: A cheaper option

Hotel Elite: A cheaper option, Devin

 bijo69 Says:  For my second night in Devin I had to change the hotel as the Spa Hotel was fully booked for that night. Hotel Elite is situated in the pedestrian street and is slightly cheaper than the other one. My room here was nearly identical to the last one with tv and minibar, but... 

SPA Hotel Devin: SPA Hotel Devin

SPA Hotel Devin: SPA Hotel Devin, Devin

 hekate Says:  What I like about the hotel that it is quite new. It was open on 2nd July 2004. That basically means that the rooms look rather new, the are very spacious, comfortable and clean. The other advantage is the wonderful view revealing infront of your eyes. A nice surprise was... 

Orpheus Spa & Resort: Orpheus Spa & Resort

Orpheus Spa & Resort: Orpheus Spa & Resort, Devin

 hekate Says:  I have not stayed in the Orpheus Spa & Resort hotel. Had only walked around it and also visited the Orintal restaurant and the so-called Piano bar. I decided to put this tip here because this hotel is supposed to be something like a landmark in Devin. Among local people it...

Oriental restaurant: Oriental restaurant, Devin

 hekate Says:  As a whole not a bad place to go but it certainly not among the list of restaurant that I would warmly recommend. The food is OK and the service is a bit slow. Otherwise, the atmosphere is nice... there is an oriental flavour there for sure. You can see it in the interior...

Transportation  

To Devin by bus

To Devin by bus, Devin

 bijo69 Says:  I arrived in Devin by bus from Plovdiv. The journey takes about 2,5 hrs and the ticket costs 7 BGN. Another option is a to take a direct bus from Sofia (supposedly there's one per day) or to take a bus from Smolyan. Be aware that there isn't hardly any connection on... 

Public transport to Devin

Public transport to Devin, Devin

 hekate Says:  The only public transport available for getting to Devin is the bus transport. If you can choose between taking the bus and going there by car I would strongly advise you to choose the car. As you can see from the picture most of the busses going that direction are old and...

A town of odd sights

A town of odd sights, Devin

 hekate Says:  I should say that along with the dog hanging out in front of the door of the closed shop and the building that shelters at the same time the public administration of the town, a coffee shop, night club and a gambling spot that was another strange sight that attracted my... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

The road to Devin...

The road to Devin..., Devin

 hekate Says:  If you are going there with a car to Devin you will most probably take the road along Vacha and Krichim Dams. The road is very scenic but you should bear in mind that it is full of curves and quite narrow. So try not to speed too much in order to avoid accidents. Another...

Walking around Devin

Walking around Devin, Devin

 hekate Says:  As I said before Devin is not some kind of fancy SPA resort. The have many mineral water springs but the region is underdeveloped economically, so the local administration and entrepreneurs do not have enough money to invest in order to develop the place as a typical SPA... 

The elephant

The elephant, Devin

 hekate Says:  The elephant is a rock formation near Nastan village. Here is what you will find if you look up the Bulgarian tourist pages: It is located some 4 km. from Devin, in the direction of the village of Nastan. Master-nature has sculptured from the hard rock a shape with the... 

Shops in Devin

Shops in Devin, Devin

 hekate Says:  The sign on the wall says SHOP. For me this place looked a bit too extravagant for a shop but the client waiting for the shop to be opened was even a stranger sight :))I guess the dog badly needed some shopping therapy but it was simply his best day ;)Being serious, this is...

Map of Devin, Devin

 hekate Says:  I found this map while I was walking around the center of Devin. As you can see from the map the town is not that big and it quite easy to find your way around. Besides being small Devin is also quiet. After all it is mostly known as a balneology resort and it a kind of... 

Signs in English

Signs in English, Devin

 hekate Says:  It keeps surprising me that small towns have signs helping out the tourist to find their way to the local tourist attraction but one can still not find such signs in Sofia - the biggest city and also the capital of Bulgaria... I guess the explanation is that it is much...
