The best little hotels from Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and Albania

Hotel Saint Nicholas, Melnik, Pirin

Bulgaria's smallest town Melnik is a perfect combination of nature, history and architecture. When you arrive here for the first time, the huge sand-stone cliffs, clustered around silent white houses, one upon the other, with romantic bay-windows and peaceful yards, buried in greenery and tranquility of an aged glory and prosperity will cause your biggest admiration. This picturesque small town Melnik is situated among the whimsical sand pyramids – some of the most fascinating natural phenomena on the Balkans.

Melnik in older times used to be an important Balkan trade centre and an important culture centre within Ottoman Empire. The old aristocratic Melnik houses once belonged to Slavs, Greeks, Turks and Albanians. They are impressive with their architecture in conformity with the laws of nature, with their wealth, with their wine cellars, with the Bulgarian sense of practicality and beauty.

St Nicholas Hotel is situated at the best place in town; you have a lovely view to the old town and the famous cliffs from every window. The hotel's restaurant and own winery offer you bulgarian specialities and the delicious mature dark-red Melnik wine, which has lovers from many countries, especially Spain and Turkey.
