There aren't many old houses left in Kalofer, and those left from the time of the Turkish slavery are less. I'm not talking about a museum, I'm talking about a real home, where during the winter smoke is curlying out if the chimneys and during the summer hosts and guests sit toghether under the trellised vine and drink the famous "Otlezhasawa rakiya" ( rakiya - an alcohol drink) made by the hosts themselvs, which leaves unforgettable memories.
But enough talking about the home idyll. It's better for you to knock on the door of the Cucovi family. This old house is situated in the center of Kalofer, and the guest can see the true bulgarian home, as it was standing here since three centuries. |
