- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Macedonia and Bulgaria are neighboring countries in the Balkans that have walked together in many stages of their history. They represent the past, present, and future of a region with a special relevance in the history of European nations. If you ever have the opportunity, please take your time to visit these two fascinating countries, definitely, the pearls of the Balkans. This travel documentary is not intended to provide an exhaustive review of both countries. It simply reflects my views and experiences during a sixteen-day family trip in August 2014.

I LOVE BULGARIA !!! BULGARIA AND MACEDONIA !!!
history said everything.. beautiful Macedonia..and i love Bulgaria. 1000 ,s years of history.
There was no war in Macedonia in the 90's, the old looking buildings you saw (some under construction) were brand new (skopje 2014 project).
There was a war in Macedonia in 2001 but also the 1999 NATO bombing near Macedonia and the 1991 tense breakup of Yugoslavia.
Македония е област от средновековна България . Византийски император Василий - защо наречен Българоубиец в старите хроники? А не маекдоноубиец - просто, тогава немало ( македонци)!!!
You missed the most beautiful city in Bulgaria-Plovdiv
The other very historical town they at least showed is Veliko Tarnovo - the the Ancient Bulgarian Capital. Veliko Tarnovo, originally Tarnovgrad (Търновград), become the strongest Bulgarian fortification of the Middle Ages between the 12th and 14th centuries and the most important political, economic, cultural and religious centre of the empire.
In the 14th century, based on Tarnovo's preeminent cultural influence in Eastern Europe, the city became often referred to as the third Rome, with only Constantinople and Rome being more influential cities in Europe.Тhe political upsurge and spiritual development of Tarnovo were halted when the Ottoman Empire captured the city on 17 July 1393.
/ The siege lasted for three months, with the Bulgarian Patriarch Evtimiy leading the defence. The siege of Veliko Tarnovo (Grand Tarnovo) in 1393 by the Ottomans after more than three months succeeded and the city was only broken into and subsequently burned down due to a treachery from an insider/
Great video. We felt as if we were there. Very informative, beautiful and relaxing. Perfect ambiance arising from very well-chosen background music.
From the flip side of the world - Cape Town, South Africa :)
I'm surprised by the number of downvotes for a light travel video. I guess some people have some irrelevant political/historical problems.
+Jason Kolojeski Νο its just a lot of people nows REAL history and they can't see fake places with wrong names!!
ΜΕΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ is a region in Hellas !!
FYRO is a South Serbian terittory (Vardarska)
@@andyrockevo No, the language is closer to Bulgarian. The Macedonians didn't commit genocide in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosova.
One people in two states. Simply brothers.
Great move :) Congratulations! Welcome back in our countries, welcome in another Balkans countries. This part of Europe is smaller know and we can show so much cultural, historical and mentality heritage. We are not perfect but we are true!
All the best and best regards!
Thank you for visiting!
Great! Especially the last part, nice light show at Tsarevets!
I share on twitter.
Juan Carlos Navarro Thanks, indeed! I am glad that you like it.
Thank you, Miguel Ángel! You're getting really good at this! I love the music selection and in general your travel videolog has proven really successful, meaning that after watching it, I really want to visit such places. Awesome! Thanks!
Wow man awesome. I'm off to Bucharest, Romania tomorrow and on to Bulgaria from there for one week!
Bulgari bratushki... Russia love u.
Поздрави!
Without Russia, we were forgotten for Europe!!!Now we are in the European Union, but can't forget Russia.Благодарим БРАТУШКИ !!!
DEATH TO RUSSIA FROM BULGARIA
Macedonia was the Country of Alexander the Great and Bulgaria was the Country of Spartacus !
Istrian Warrior no you idiot.... South thracia was Greek and Spartacus or in Greek SPARTAkos was Greek.... the thracians call every good grwwk thracian warrior SPARTAkos it's not a name it's a title...... Alexander the great was Greek and the makedinians too.... this modern wannabe Macedonians are Bulgarians and Bulgarians came from wolga ~ 680 a.c.
Istrian Warrior the only think we can say is Croatians are maybe illyrians but not all of the croatians
@Bulgarian Ostrogoth and south thracians are greeks... read a book
@Bulgarian Ostrogoth they call the north thracians barbarians... the land thracia was the same like balkan... balkan is not a ethnic it's a name for a land with many nations... in Thracia we have Greeks in South and Dacia in north.... the word barbarian for Macedonia and thracia was used only by 10-20 Athenian philosopher... Google thracian coins so you see Greek words
@Bulgarian Ostrogoth the Athenians say barbarians to all who don't have democracy... the Spartans say barbarians to all who don't speak Greek like Sparta... Macedonia and South thracia speak Greek but with dialect
Thank you for making an encompassing travel documentary featuring geopolitics, info on infrastructure and culture Etc. Loved the watch
The people of FYROM and the people of Bulgaria are exactly the same they speak the same language they are from the same blood line of people (Slavs)it's like saying Moldova and Romania... They are both Romanian it's just that Moldova has its own country
We could say that about Turkwy & Greece. Same people just different religion. Your mannerisms are the same, same food, same evil eye, same komboloi. Even the Greeks in Istanbul are Turkish today and thank your lucky starts that the Venetians bombed Athens before it became part of Sultan Soulemans new Artatark city!!
FOPOGian lol??? Greeks are indoeuropean and turks are mongols...so how you can say we are the same??? This is like to say Brazilians and Arabic are the same
I always use translate when bulgarians writing.I dont understend bulgarian words.Thats the reality.
I watched and it was really interesting. Thank you.
A very beautiful presentation. I appreciate the skill and artistic taste of the presenter.
+KUNAL HAZRA High praise, indeed! Much appreciated.
+Aris Nikolopoulos yassou frizzball. How far did the Kingdom of Macedonia stretch? It didn't go beyond Solun but it did go into Republic of Macedonia. Occupying stolen land doesn't make you the rightful owner. Why is the Macedonian language spoken EVERYWHERE in the area you claim is yours? Now, go stop the boats. You've ruined Europe ..
+Aris Nikolopoulos We are in Greece? you are opposite us DUMPS

Very well documented with video and your have narrated it very comprehensively with your voice.

Andon Kamenarov I really enjoyed my stay in Bulgaria and Macedonia. Beautiful countries both. I'll get back as soon as I have the opportunity.
Lonely Visions yes you should visit also Plovdiv and do a video :)))
"The treatment of 'Macedonian' history has the same primary goal as the creation of the 'Macedonian' language: *to de-Bulgarize the 'Macedonians' and create a separate national consciousness.*"
(Palmer & King, Yugoslav Communism and the Macedonian Question, Chapter 9 "The Encouragement of Macedonian Culture", Archon Books, 1971)
That explains the mutual intelligibility .
Alan Piersonn Of course. "*FYROMacedonian can be called a Bulgarian dialect, as structurally it is most similar to Bulgarian.*"
(Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics,, R.E.Asher, J.M.Y.Simpson, 1994, vol.1, p.429)
Macedonian Always Greek ETSI EINAI!
Δημήτριος Κοσμάς Αλλα δεν θελουν να καταλαβουν.
Modern FYROMacedonians are not Greeks like the ancient Macedonians, but are Bulgarians and Serbians.

Saludos desde Puerto Rico, estuve casi dos semanas en Bulgaria y a la verdad que capturaste lo mejor de esta. Para tu proximo viaje te puedo recomendar la ciudad de Ethera, un museo viviente. Tambien, si puedes, visita Budapest. Vas a quedar maravillado con esa ciudad.

Thank you for sharing your trip. I will be visiting both of the countries in May. So excited!
Hello! Lonely Visions. How are you? I never been to Macedonia, I think your video is great, I think Macedonia is very beautiful Country, I am learning history of Macedonia like Alexander The Great, someday I like to visit Macedonia, I like Macedonian Folk music your are playing on your video, here in Ontario we have Macedonian Community.
-- Good, learn what you can in Canada before you go there - So you don't fail your class - you will come back confused just like they are!!!!!!!!
***** hum - see what these Jerks have done - confused us all - Call them Vardarkians
Jayson Sloane Which Macedonia did you visit? The real one in Greece or the Slavic Macedonia (FYROM) which it was not ancient Macedonia but it was ancient Paeonia?
Try defining yourselves - let the Greeks define Greeks - Lost in Translation is key - we have that Greek Key... we are better equipped, thank you...
The country Macedonia is the the real Macedonia, not some stupid little city in Greece.
A very nice documentary. Un documental de viaje precioso, Macedonia y Bulgaria, lugares donde vamos poco los españoles.
***** Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario. Así es, los españoles viajamos muy poco a estos lugares. Tenemos que viajar más para entender mejor el mundo.
Skopje and Ohrid are former bulgarian capitals. During the 6 th and 7 th century Macedonia was populated by bulgarians and in year 812 became part of Bulgaria.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skopje
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohrid

But now we are a country that gained its independence so Bulgaria is not Macedonia stop lying to yourself
annie ris You gained our independence from who?
You speak bulgarian,your history is bulgarians and you are bulgarians.
Macedonia is 100% fake state without future.
+OHRID вие сега сте Идна малкЪ македонска плюмка във европа.
this is video is a great visual journey...good work
Mrityunjaya Dodwad Thanks for your nice comment. Much appreciated.
BULGARIA IS THE RULER OF MACEDONIA!
U mean Skopje because Macedonia is northern Greece..I can't understand how the people of Skopje say their country "Macedonia"..they have zero similarities with ancient Macedonians that were Greek...Ancient Macedonia was like Sparta and Athens.Greece was separated but all the cities together were the Hellenic-Greek region...it makes me so sad the fact that there is a country that stole our history and took us the name of our territory..in addition they believe that Alexander the Great wasn't Greek and as a result people without history knowledge say the same..things couldn't be worse! MACEDONIA ALWAYS GREEK..stop the propaganda of fyromians
Republic of Karma we bulgarians know that real Macedonia (Aegean) is greek we just call FYROM Vardar Macedonia or just Macedonia because it's easier and that how we learned it at shool
Thank you for sharing a wonderfully edited video of your travels in Macedonia & Bulgaria. I will be going through these countries in the opposite direction this summer.
WELCOME to MACEDONIA WONDERFUL GREECE !!!*
...Greece...
Oh so you say we are very beauty country and you are dumbs? We are Macedonian we are other Religion! Read HISTORY your country is just lies....We have our own language our own FLAG! We are macedonians
+Gammer LoveSports ...gee when you say it that way...
I am apt to believe you - execpt for one thing!
YOU ARE NOT GREEK.
Alexander Philip and Olympiada were GREEKS of MACRDON they were Greek speaking writing reading because they were...
MACEDONIAN HISTORY IS GREEK
THE NAMES of ALL the PLAYERS are GREEK... WRITTEN STORIES by PLATO PLETOMY HOMER and on the ROSETTA STONE and in the BIBLE it REFERS to the MACEDONIANS there was no brake in history...
ALL THOSE THINGS HAPPENED IN TIMELINES RECORDED IN ACCREDITED UNIVERSITIES ...not your corrupt wiki.common.mk BUT IN BOOKS WRITTEN WAY BEFORE YOUR PROPAGANDA and REWRITING of HISTORY BEGAN because you found a gap...
I know why you all want Greece with it's HISTORY and physical and natural beauty and most of all the location...
IT WAS GREECE in the SAME LOCATION for OVER TENS of THOUSANDS of YEARS and HERE it SHALL REMAIN FOR EVER!
Great Documentary! Informative Und Clear Und Well Organized.
Big Thanks From Kuwait
Mizia, Trakia, Macedonia 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬❤
Slatko , Bulgarian & Macedonia !
I don't understand what the argument here is all about. Check academic resources or simply google it. Bulgarians say that Macedonians are Bulgarians and Greeks say that Macedonians are Bulgarians. Besides that, the whole world besides Macedonia agrees with that. Genetic research, historical data, Archaeological data etc. have reached the same conclusion- Macedonians are Bulgarians and Alexander the Great was Greek! Macedonian language is a Bulgarian dialect. Also, anyone who says that Bulgarians are mongol turks bla bla bla, it means they havent been there. We have minorities of Jipsies and Turks as most European countries do. But saying that Bulgarians have nothing to do with Macedonians is absolutely stupid because the languages are almost identical, countries are right next to each other, and native people look identical. The world and science agrees with Bulgarians. The world and science LAUGHS at "Macedonians".
You were right in everything except that the modern *FYROMians* are Bulgarians. Macedonians were and still are Greeks! Cheers
What is the difference between Greek and Bulgarian physical looks? Lets be realistic. You cannot call out by appearance a Greek from a Bulgarian from a Romanian from a Serbian from a Macedonian. We are all Balkan nations and we have merged our genes for thousands of years through Bulgarians taking over then Byzantine taking over etc. etc. I have a Greek friend. Very cool and open minded guy. He calls me a brother and I call him that too because we both know that the only difference between us is language and somewhat culture. Cheers brother ;)
Nestor Lichev Nevertheless *FYROMians and Bulgarians cluster together* and they are close to Serbs and Croats. (Journal of Human Genetics 52, 2007, "Y-STR variation among Slavs: evidence for the Slavic homeland in the middle Dnieper basin", Krzysztof Rębała, Alexei I. Mikulich, Iosif S. Tsybovsky, Daniela Siváková, Zuzana Džupinková, Aneta Szczerkowska-Dobosz, Zofia Szczerkowska, www.nature.com/jhg/journal/v52/n5/pdf/jhg200754a.pdf)
Nestor Lichev - this was planned a long time ago - the Propaganda began 24 years ago that I know of...
I personally marched to Washington DC when the 1991 name change took effect - We Greeks thought it was a joke at first - because there was NO connection to Greeks ancient or otherwise to Vardarskians/Yugoslavs at all, the reporters all asked the same question of us... "what's in a name, what is the issue" -- WELL AS IT WAS APPARENT TO US THEN AS IT IS NOW --- Our Name / Our History --- that's what's in a name!!! For those of you who don't understand it - it's called Propaganda 101
Nestor Lichev Richard Gillespie, “Mediterranean Politics” , Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press , Volume 1, pp.95-96:
*“Propaganda and the Macedonian question.* Those aspects of the FYROM's policy, both at home and abroad, which lie at the heart of the tensions with Greece, are as follows:
i) *The undermining of the history of geographical Macedonia, chiefly by disputing the uninterrupted Hellenic presence and influence in the region.* After *the official birth of the 'Macedonian' state on 2nd August 1944*, its intellectual leaders launched a systematic campaign for international recognition of the 'Macedonian' nation. Their aim was twofold: first to establish the unbroken continuity of the 'Macedonian nation' after the first Slavonic tribes appeared in the Macedonian region in the 7th century AD; and second, to cast doubt on or nullify the historical and cultural presence of the neighboring peoples -the Greeks, the Serbs and the Bulgarians. *The outdated notion that the [ancient] Macedonians were not Greek was completely demolished by the archaeological investigations and excavations in and around Vergina in the 1970s and 1980s*.
ii) *The systematic cultivation of a spirit of vindication and the consequent by the FYROM of territorial claims against Greece.*
iii) *The constant and escalating accusations against Greece of systematic violations of the basic human right of the so-called 'Macedonian minority in 'Aegean Macedonia'.* In the case of Greece in particular, the self-styled 'Macedonians' who are demanding their rights so vociferously are a handful of known individuals.
iv) *The periodical appearance and activity of Slavomacedonian extremist and paramilitary organizations, which encourage subversive activities against the Greek state through statements, proclamations, calendars, and propaganda leaflets.*“
Btw this is probably the best doco on Macedonia I've seen yet, moving there to Kavadarci in November 😋
Thanks a lot for your nice comment. Glad that you enjoyed it.
You can read the names of all the songs at the end of the video.
I find it funny and completely ironic that the people that say bullshit about other countries have terrible grammar.spelling and don't understand basic english while the smart people are doing something productive and don't waste time criticizing other countries.
Congrats on the beautiful documentary.
I hope you delight us with more interesting endeavours

77elvistheking only because Greek STOLE that land with Treaty of Bucharest (1913) . Before 1913 all that land greek took belonged to MACEDONIA. It is only because of political bullshit that greece has taken our land...you dumb fuckn idiot. The world already knows the Greek government are nothing but fascist.
Very good travel documentary. Sets the standard for others to follow!
Republic of Macedonia should join with Bulgaria
+Baji Scipio Dārayav Aurelius „Hemu Rawal Domitian“ Julian Venizelos Nalwa After all what Macedonia did and say about Bulgaria(ns) i don't think that Bulgaria would really want them anymore.
Hetalia Ass Powers yes but they really the same many of their hero's are same as Bulgarians
I know, but they (macedonians) just don't want to accept the truth. And if you try to tell them, that they're technically the same people, as us bulgarians, they might hate us even more.
I can't wait to visit these 2 countries this coming summer. Thank you 😊
You will enjoy, for sure.
What language did Alexander the Great speak?
Panayiotis Bosmis That's a good question. As far as I know, he spoke an ancient version of Greek, derived from the Atica, known as common Greek. Apart from that, I guess he also spoke ancient Macedonian. Am I right?
he spoke his native Macedonian language
pompei1968 HIS LANGUAGE WAS THE GREEK DORIAN DIALECT. JUST LIKE ARISTOTLE SCRIPTS PROOVES. ANCIENT MACEDONIANS WERE 1000 % GREEK TRIBE.
Lonely Visions Aleksandar the Great spoke Macedonian. and yes he also spoke Greek but his mother tongue was Macedonian. Just like in todays society the universal language is English, well...in Aleksandar the Greats time, Greek was the universal language. So, everyone had to know how to speak Greek to communicate with different 'tribes' and regions.
MKD ZED ''For all these reasons me as a descend of Hercules and Hellas(Greece) will fight for our revenge and freedom against Persians''... Alexander the Great in Aryan's Alexander's Anavasis
''Thank Gods I was born Hellene(Greek) and not a barbarian'' Alexander the Great in Plutarch's Parallel lives
Macedonian was a Greek Dorian dialect and that is very clear in all ancient scripts.
We native north Greeks speak even today that same language cause we real Macedonians are a Greek tribe since ever, since the first day Greek prince of Argos Karanos founded the Greek kingdom of Macedonia in 8th c Before christe.
You speak a Bulgaroserbian language, you are pure South Slavs, you came in Balkans in 6th century AFTER CHRISTE and you have NONE relation to all these stories!!!
Your people live with fake stories and with stolen history mainly from Greece!!!
Face the truth at last!!!
Thank you, this is the best information before I go to Bulgaria.
“The Slavmacedonians (FYROMians) have only a connection of geography [FYROM corresponds to ancient Paeonia and now borders with real Macedonia, Greece] to the ancient Macedonians, whose most famous son, Alexander the Great, died hundreds of years before Slavs even arrived in the Balkans. *It's an insult that the Republic of Macedonia names the airport of its capital city 'Alexander the Great'*. Pursuing *a fraudulent identity*, Skopje has built statues to a Hellenic-speaking tribe *with which it has no lineage*. Only *an accident of history resulted in the southern part of Yugoslavia (FYROM) having the same name.*”
(Barry Wood, TheHuffingtonPost , 10/24/2013)
Didn't know that.
Alan Piersonn There is a lot you didn't know, my friend... “The cultural identity of the people of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) has been an issue of contention and confusion. From the start the new republic aroused antagonism in Greece, which objected to its use of the name *'Macedonia', a Greek word*, since *the people of the FYROM are ethnically and linguistically Slavic*. Slavomacedonian nationalists of the FYROM regularly claim as part of their cultural identity architectural and artistic artifacts [and the history] *of the classical Greek period and earlier.*”
(“Encyclopedia of European Peoples”, 2006, p.507)
Macedonian Always Greek FYROM SHOULD BE RENAMED "MYASSEDONIA"!
Δημήτριος Κοσμάς You have a point.
Well, real Macedonians are Greeks.
Excellent travel video.

Everything Macedonian can't be slavic! I have to disapoint you sir. circa 30% of the population are Albanians.
+AlGangsta Vlore nobody likes Albanians and with a name like gangsta I'd say you can o ly fight in packs because we all know that you use women and children as human shields when fighting against the Serbs. PS...it's 25% of fAilbanians in Macedonia with the amount shrinking since you're all pissing off to the EU countries . Ta ta, good riddance!!
+optical illusion sure... well said, but let the time speak for that. Macedonia is a fake country, and soon or later it will die.

can you tell me the real truth ??

Very nicely done travel video, the only minus is the intermittent loud rock music
Very well done I must say - I love the look of both countries - the streets look very nice and clean - lots of Graffiti in the background, that's a shame! Kids are kids everywhere. The lake is awesome - would love to visit one day!
You are correct when you say Alexander the Great was a Macedonian conqueror - but then you completely ruined it because you lost me - when you said that Skopje has 66% Macedonians, 10% Albanians and 5% Romanians --
Macedonians are Greek - Then in Ohrid you said 80% Macedonians, 7% Albanians, 5% Turks...!!!!!!!!
The group "Macedonians" does not a one ethnic group make there... Only in Greece would that be a true statement -
There it is a "mix of peoples" stop there!!!!!!!! Clearly you are not a historian - you are a travel guide - travel broker or something to that effect??? Understandable... A country that steals another country's name and with it it's History Culture and timeline in relationship to all around you... you have the audacity to built the biggest cultural center!!!??? You guys are truly incredibly ignorant and smug!!!
You will never manage to change our name MAKEDONIA COUNTRY .
Region is something else !

Ohhh and search this you Slavovardarian!!!.... ''Thank Gods I was born Hellene(Greek) and not a barbarian'' Alexander the Great in Plutarch's Parallel live book'' and................ ''For all these reasons me as a descend of Hercules and Hellas will fight for our revenge and freedom against Persians''...'' Alexander the Great in Aryans ''Alexander's Anavasis''.......

***** You fucking idiot the traitors here in Greece were not even 1%. You Slavovardarobulgarians were 99% percent Nazis and then Communists. My grand father was in ESEA Group. He was just a Greek Patriot and he fucked well Nazis, Slavobulgarians and later Communists....And believe me I am ready to fuck you brainwashed Slavovardarobulgarians even better one day...I am waiting for the day we will marsh over Vardarska and over our Pelagonia.

For the next time I would like to suggest you to visit Еastern Macedonia (e.g. Kratovo, Berovo, Lesnovo, Strumica and so forth).
Greetings from Macedonia :)
Young Wanderer Will do next time. Sure.

+Kalyan C V Thanks.

Very nice video ;)
Glad that you like it. Much appreciated.
Nice Video!
Mr. Macedon MACEDONIA FOREVER BULGARIAN
Well done on this video, very interesting
Great job! Beautiful video!
beautiful documentary and voice over good job
Very nice video s.
Appreciated. Thanks.
Wow! This is really a nice video.
It was probably hard for you to visit all the bulgarian cities you missed plovdiv,vidin,vratsa,ruse,varna,belovradchik,melnik you should go to smolyan also! Anyway thanks for visiting Bulgaria i hope you had a great experience. Greets from Sofia dude :)
Alexander Alexandrov Yes, indeed. I had a great experience in Bulgaria. I wish I can come back soon.
lived in Bulgaria for two years,Sophia is nice and so is Varna as long as you are in the city centers or the tourist areas,Plovdiv is gorgeous too,but the outskirts of these places the infrastructure is bad in some areas,ok as a tourist, but to live if you come from a non communist era country it can be bit of a shock,but you get used to it and take no notice after a while..found the people of Bulgaria hard to get to know but once you do they are very helpful people but in Varna some do like to portray the macho man image,was often out for a few beers and found that people in bars(Varna) do not seem to mix with each other,they like to stay in their groups where as in my country everybody talks to everybody and mixes...Macedonia I found it just as nice in places when I visited and no offence to Bulgarians they seem to be more open people,more friendly in Bars etc and mix with people more and they smile!!!that is one thing I noticed about living in Varna people commented on that I smiled a lot...then I noticed people seemed very serious even my Bulgarian friends agreed on this,even a taxi driver told me and my girlfriend that we seemed nice happy people because we were smiling!!...I grew to love Bulgaria and the countryside there and got to say I miss it.
thks for the video,,,,good info nice place,,,,,,from Kuala Lumpur city Asia south east,,,November 2015,,thks ya,,
beautiful country god bless you
MACEDONIA AND BULGARIA ORIGINALLY THEY WERE BOTH ONE LAND ONE NATION ,,, MACEDOOONIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!! WE WON THE BATTLES BUT LOST THE WAR
Makedonija and Bulgaria no borders...
what is the music please, starting at 37:08, and goes to approx 38:09. That woman's voice is ethereal. Anyone know who it is? Great travel doc btw.
lekkki1 It is part of a Bulgarian Folklore collection (not sure about the name of the collection). The title of this song is Ръченица - Щилян Тихов (кавал). Северна България. Hope it helps.
Such a cool trip!
Fantastic job and well done presentation, something that people who do not know much about other places can easily feel the spirit of the Balkans. Great approach to both countries without any prejudice or political insinuations. What I do not understand is why some individuals have to ruin almost every beauty of youtube with their aggressive political terrorism? Why the Bulgarians and the Greeks always have to attack the Macedonians? Nestor Lichev, panel linismos and so many others, what gives you the right to tell others who and what they are? Do you REALLY know who YOU are? Instead of spreading around your political venom, enjoy the BEAUTIFUL scenery and show some appreciation to this wonderful man and his great work. Love the world so it can love you back!!!!
stbara Wise words, indeed. Much appreciated.
Muy buen montaje! Plovdiv os hubiera encantado!
pmalenkinn Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras. Fue una pena que no tuviéramos tiempo para visitar Plovdiv. En la próxima ocasión ...
Thank you for this beautiful docu! I'll be there in August. Was it very hot when you were there?
It was warm, but not in excess. Hope you have a great time this summer!
Gracias :))
Δεν υπάρχει κράτος στην Ευρώπη με την ονομασία Μακεδονία. Η Μακεδονία είναι μια μεγάλ η περιφέρεια της Βόρειας Ελλάδας και είναι η χώρα του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου. ΌΜως χαίρομαι ειλικρινά που οι βόρειοι γείτονες μας, οι Σκοπιανοί έχεουν στερημένη αντίληψη και μεγάλη έπαρση να ονομάζουν την χώρα τους με δικό μας όνομα. Για τον λόγο αυτό χαίρομαι που προβάλλουν την χώρα μας μέσω της Ελληνικής και μοναδικής Μακεδονίας μας.
If I were you I wouldn't go on a vacation to Sunny Beach or Golden Sands.You better go to a small village in the north or in the south.Never go in the middle :D
it's a big mistake to say that there are 5% Romanians. Perhaps there are 5 Romanians in whole country. There are about 500 000 Bulgarians is what everyone knows.
what is the name of the song in the Bulgarian part of the video when they are driving towards the Black Sea? Does anyone know? I very much liked it
Aleksandar Kanev The title of the song is "Breathe In Breathe Out" de "Singleton". It is a royalty-free song that you can find in www.jamendo.com.
thanks very much man! :))) It was veryy cool!
Agree it is Lonely Vision. For Lonely,,,,,,,
Home sweet home😔
Тази песен я направих след като чух че някакси загубили сме българският дух,добре дошъл в България тва е моята страна и тук обичаме да ходим с вдигната глава,добре дошъл горе високо в планината,отпусни се на плажа там е КИЛАТА тук е топлужа златните реки а най-големите звезди са на Златни пясъци,тук има пясъци бит купони пясъци чисто нови S класи паркират началници,ние сме само народ вече няма държава защо наща държава не обича много да плащта,ще дойде време знай че има други нужди собсената ни държава ние ще сме чужди,тук ще реже хляба и ще пише правилата не продавайте земята Кво на децата? Искам моята държава да е за мойте деца искам на нашето море и нашата планина и ако ние сме цветя на всеки му нужни земя и светлина,вода от реките идващи от планините пазете планините на децата вредите е*и ги парите па то развъждане обратно в реките,респект за всички езици раси и народи обичам ви на български Кирил и Методий искам български жени да раждат български деца и всички да живеем на българска земя да сме щастливи и развити тук и пред света и с гордост да разправяме за малката България аз съм КИЛАТА деля ги на славиан споделям моята любов за моята България!!! България ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘❤️❤️
No-one freaked out after he said ajvar is made out of red onions, it doesn't even have onions in it. but i think he ment red peppers

This documentary is not a valid presentation of my Country (Macedonia) the stats are off, and the presenter is ignorant for not researching more on the facts.
agreed
