SHIROKA LUKA HOTELS

Shiroka luka is a genuine Rhodope village is only 15km west of Pamporovo ski resort. With it humpbacked bridges and asym-metrical slate-roofed houses built into the mountainside, this remarkably unspoilt settlement of 2000 people could have been lifted of a picture postcard. The advantage of coming on a tour to Shiroka Luka is that you get to see a performance by the students of the School of Folk instruments and Music. Local legend says the area was the last refuge of a Royal Russian family who are said to escaped a massacre at Ekaterinburg, settled in Shiroka Luka and and died here.
