What a lovely city with a fascinating history. It is really a special place! Also, I very much appreciate your history lesson, it adds a lot to the walk. Be careful in Turkey, I read that there is a lot of turmoil there now.
14:03 It is macedonian song called "Macedonian Girl". Macedonian music is very popular in Serbia and i belive in bulgaria also. We have simmilar languages and we can understand Macedonian language well., actually very well. Greatings from Serbia.

My favorite city so far on your journey! If feasible, I would fly there and spend weeks just walking around. One drawback, so far, is that you don't get lots of people being friendly towards you. This is very unusual for your walks and stops! Maybe they are just more reserved than the Serbs.
Glad that you liked the city. And I think so, people were just less outgoing than the Serbs, and the weather was often bad, and maybe my mind was too focused in reaching Turkey before it snows in Bulgaria, and then I was maybe less open minded during this part of the journey.
When you're there, make sure to grab a Freddo from The Family Coffee Roasters, and then have a mekitsa with marmalade from 'Mekitsa e Kafe" on the same pedestrian mall, a few blocks south. Excellent snack.
The stadium is actually a "Hippodrome". For thous who don't know it was basically a racing strip for chariots, horses and all race related activities. It's approximately 2.5 KM long (one way), and is underneath the "Glavna" Center walking street. Very nice video, but being from the city, I think you should have showed the Soviet part of it as well. Thank god and all the people of the time, that made a stand to get away from that retched Russian influence!
I have friends in SA, if you need host, when are you planning to be there, my Friend? also can make some recensions of restaurants or similar, one my friend now is in Peru, she goes with bike from Patagonia to Alaska "Biciklom oko sveta"
Years, I'm sorry! The thracian king Eumolpus is the founder. Another name he bore was is Odryouza (Одрюза), from the Odrysian kingdom. 400 years BC. Greetings!
Why is it that the ottoman empire is considered an occupation. But when you mentioned the slavs conquering Bulgaria you didn't use the word occupation you said kingdom.. It's weatern historians take on history, any thing gain by the ottoman empire was considered an occupation. The so called state of Israel by your same western historians is considered an occupation of Palestinian lands and they also say there as never been a longer occupation in the history of mankind than that of the Israelis. I mean come on Kino if someone stays in your country for 500 years without any major revolts would you not say they were more of a welcome party than an occupational force.
500 years without any major revolt ??? Everywhere the Ottoman empire was, the local people remember ruthless times. The Christians of the Balkans were treated as second class citizens and all revolts were brutally crushed. The Christians of the middle East had to hide in the mountains to avoid persecutions from the Ottoman rulers. The Muslim Arabs of the middle East still widely hate Turkish people because the brutality of the Ottoman rule, and because the Turks always considered the Arabs as second class people. The Algerians also still have a heavy resentment towards Turkish people because of the brutality of the Ottoman rule... The Serbs never stopped fighting against Ottoman rule, and if the Balkans are still a mess, it's mostly because of the brutality of the Ottoman caliphate. The Ottoman empire was, for sure, very powerful. But, for sure, it was also, in many ways, inhuman. That's why it collapsed. Come on man, how can you praise an Empire that was practicing the slave trade until the early twentieth century!!! The Ottomans have enslaved Central and Eastern Europeans for centuries!!! How do you want this empire to be liked in Europe? Go ask the Serbs and the Bulgarians how much they like the Ottoman Empire! And let's see if you manage to come back unscathed.
@@KinoYves All very well put together your reply. Except one thing Authentic reference from trusted historians for what you say concerning the revolts. As for the recent wars in the Balkans it's due to nationalism ideology nothing to do with Islam which the ottoman empire rule by ..they had thier short comings in their interpretation of Islam . But they held all them different people's in the Balkans together much longer than Tito,s rule.. so something must have been right. Highly appreciated if you mention the references.
The reference is the people I met in the Balkans. Do you think that people would hate that much the Turks if the Turks only did good things? Do you think the people of the Balkans would be so strongly anti islam if the Islamic Caliphate treated them well ? Nothing to do with islam... Well, the shariah law has everything to do with islam, as a reminder, the shariah law is the law of the Quran, so it is hard to claim that it has nothing to do with islam, as the Quran is Islam. So the Shariah law is also the essence of Islam. I can't imagine that you don't know that the Ottoman Empire was the last true Islamic Caliphate. And for your argument about the interpretation of islam, that's not an argument, the Quran is very clear, and according to islam, the Quran was not created, but it was directly told by God, so you cannot have a wrong interpretation of the Quran, as the words of the Quran are directly the words of God, and the words have a very clear meaning, they don't need interpretation. That's the main difference between, on one side, Judaism and Christianity, and on the other side, Islam. So because the Balkans were under shariah law for such a long time, then many people converted to islam to avoid unfair taxation. The Serbs who became muslims became the Bosniacs, and the Albanians also massively converted to Islam in order to blend in better into the Islamic Caliphate. Now, those who remained Christians and suffered during half a millennia, see these people who converted to islam as traitors. Of course, the Christian Orthodox and Catholics would still fight each other, but the legacy of the Ottoman Islamic Empire has left scars that will, sadly, take hundreds of years to heal in this part of the world.
Keep traveling Kino you still have much to learn . The bible is the source of Christianity, your country itself fought the British in the hundred year war. The wars in France of the Catholics and protestants each one with their own interpretation of the bible.
For sure, that's what I said, the Bible is open to interpretation, but according to Islamic theology, it is not the case of the Quran. The Bible is considered to be written by men, so subject to mistakes and interpretation, but the Quran is said to not be written, but to be directly the word of God, so how can it be any interpretation of the Quran... the Quran should be absolutely perfect, and perfectly clear to understand for any Human being.
Im glad you liked my city! This city never gets you bored. Thanks for the visit!
So much history in Plovdiv! Thank you.
You are welcome

I went back to see your earlier tour, and it is absolutely amazing how different walking people between African street and European street.
14:03 It is macedonian song called "Macedonian Girl". Macedonian music is very popular in Serbia and i belive in bulgaria also. We have simmilar languages and we can understand Macedonian language well., actually very well. Greatings from Serbia.

Bulgarians are definitely more reserved and generally calmer than the Serbs.

Thank you for the explanation. And yes, good for you that you got rid of the Russian influence.
Beautiful Ottoman houses.
❤❤
I think you will feel home still in Turky, since they are mainly so welcoming and warm people! And when I think farther, all the others basicaly...
Well, about the warmth of the people, all the Middle East in absolutely extraordinary. Hope that I will be able to show that in the videos.
They were Greek. Greece was city states back then. It wasn't called Greece. But they were 100 percent Greek. They considered themselves Greek as well.
I have friends in SA, if you need host, when are you planning to be there, my Friend?
also can make some recensions of restaurants or similar, one my friend now is in Peru, she goes with bike from Patagonia to Alaska
"Biciklom oko sveta"
is her chanel 😉
I don't know when I will be in SA, not so soon I think. But thank you for the proposal, maybe later.
Je vais peut-être casser le mythe de kinoYves mais comment tu en connais autant sur les villes que tu visites ?
C'est très simple, je lis rapidement l'histoire de la ville sur Wikipedia avant de faire la vidéo.
Original name is Evmolpia 1500 yers BC 😂🤣😉
Years, I'm sorry! The thracian king Eumolpus is the founder.
Another name he bore was is Odryouza (Одрюза), from the Odrysian kingdom. 400 years BC.
