As Joy's counterpart told her a few days ago, Nebet Tepe' is one of the "7" hills in Plovdiv. It's the "Old Town," where the first settlers put down roots. It's near the river, Maritsa, and has an amazing view of the city, to say the least. When our counterparts told us we would visit the Old Town, we weren't exactly sure what to expect.
It's lined with coble-stone streets and reminded us of a Medieval town! We weren't expecting that, for sure. The town houses are articulately painted and the owners have to keep them the particular style of home from that time period.
Our afternoon consisted of a beautiful walk through the Old Town up to the top of Nebet Tepe', where we saw Plovdiv from above, and we finished our "excursion" by seeing the Roman Ampitheater, next to the Old Town.
We are still in shock at how rich and beautiful our permanent site is...
Enjoy the pictures!
