Bulgaria

This Eastern European country is rich in tradition. Influences of Greek, Persian, and Ottoman cultures are everywhere! Weddings, typically held on Sunday, are often celebrated incorporating these influences with costumes, music, and dance. And you can taste flavors from Turkey, the Middle East, Italy, and Greece in the delicious cuisine. Bulgarian wedding cakes are elaborate! Fun Fact: Bulgarians actually nod their head to indicate ‘no’ and shake it as a ‘yes’ gesture.
