The picturesques village of Shiroka Luka is situated in south Bulgaria, in the central Rhodope mountains, 23 km northeast of Smolyan, 21 km east of Devin and only 16 kilometers from the popular ski resort of Pamporovo. Shiroka Luka is an architectural and ethnographical reserve that has preserved the genuine Rhodopes architecture and culture. Built in tiers on both banks of the river, two-storied slate-roofed houses, narrow cobble streets and arched stone bridges characterize this pure example of authentic Rhodopean village which is also famous for its musical traditions. The transfer time from Sofia/airport to Shiroka Luka is about 4 hours and from Plovdiv/airport is 2 hours.
