Gorna Vasilitsa

Cyrillic Spelling: Горна Василица
Popular: 302

Gorna Vasilitsa, while considered a larger than average village in this area, has a very easy pace of life, very peaceful and for those wishing to take a break from busy modern life and recharge the batteries, a stay in Gorna Vasilitsa is recommended. There are virtually no shops or bars (except a small village shop) and this really is a traditional small Bulgarian village, untouched by change or modern life.

Gorna Vasilitsa is very easy to access from Sofia (no more than an hour by virtually direct road) and it is on the airport side of the city. The village is also just off the main road to Ihtiman town and Kostenets too. Ihtiman is also the location of Bulgaria's first 18 hole golf course (this village may therefore be a consideration for any fans of the sport!).

The village also has a small monastery. Gorna Vasilitsa monastery was built in the 19th century and recently renovated (funded by local businessmen). Although no monks live there anymore, the Gorna Vasilitsa monastery is still visited by tourists and locals for worship.

Being only a few kilometres from Kostenets means that all facilities are nearby and the village is by no means isolated, even though it is set in some fantastic country side.
