Когато пътешественикът, поел пътищата от Ламанша към югоизтока, стигне в района на Балканите, с изненада и възхищение ще установи, че е стъпил в България - земя с древна култура и невероятно красива природа. По тези места природата е съчетала изключително многообразие: невероятен климат и релеф - двадесетина планини, стотици големи или по-малки реки, езера, лимани, лековити извори и екзотични плажове, формирани от златист пясък покрай плиткото Черноморско крайбрежие. В днешна България, преди повече от две и половина хилядолетия, по западния бряг на Понта (дн. Черно море) са формирани първите цивилизовани полиси, които ... |

Люлка на цивилизациите, ябълка на раздора и един от най-древните търговски пътища - всичко това е морето в средата на Земята. То е отгледало три от най-бляскавите цивилизации в Античността и е видяло раждането и разцвета на три от най-големите световни религии. Още през 3000 г. пр. н. е. Средиземноморският басейн е служил за превоз на търговски стоки, хора и добитък. Използвали са го египтяните, финикийците, гърците и римляните, преди търговията да се пренасочи към нови земи - Индия и Изтока.

They are concentrated within a limited geographic region and in terms of statistics they are considerably more than any other area of Bulgaria. Taking this into consideration and knowing that some fifty years ago the only ... |
