Full dayPrivate tours from Pamporovo with a driver
Pamporovo sits in the middle of the Rhodopes, and most of the interesting places are about an hour’s drive away. Trigrad Gorge with the Devil’s Throat cave and Yagodina Cave are an hour and a quarter, the Wonderful Bridges about an hour. Shiroka Laka and Smolyan are very close. The roads are narrow mountain roads, so it is more relaxed with a local driver.
