Lonely Planet, the world’s leading travel guide has published its list of the world’s 500 best places to see, which took one year to compile. The list includes Rila Monastery in Bulgaria, the most visited site in the country. The list also features Topkapi palace, the Blue Mosque, Ephesus, Cappadokia and Pamukkale in Turkey, Meteora monasteries in Greece and several other sites on the Balkan Peninsula. The places to visit before you die – this is the message Lonely Planet will be conveying; a special book of the world’s 500 best places to see features photographs and information about Rila Monastery.
