Svilengrad

This wine-country town in south-central Bulgaria sitting on the Maritsa River, Svilengrad occupies the point where Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey meet — one of the country's most significant border crossings. The compact centre has a concentration of cafés and restaurants, and the surrounding region holds sites of broader historical interest.
