Dospat - Apartments for Sale

Project 2

Dospat (Bulgarian: Доспат) is a town in the very south of Bulgaria, part of Smolyan Province and situated in the Rhodope Mountains. It is close to Dospat Dam and is mainly populated by Muslim Bulgarians. The town was probably founded by Despot Alexius Slav in the 12th-13th century, from whose title (despot) its name is very likely derived.
Dospat Dam is the highest dam in Bulgaria by altitude and, with its 22 km? of water area, the second largest in capacity. It is fed by the Sarnitsa River.

The town of Dospat lies on the south coast of the Dospat dam, close to the Greek border.

Dospat is a turning point, where one can either head north along the desolate route to Batak, or continue westwards past the turn-offs for Dolen and Kovachevitsa, towards Gotse Delchev in the Mesta Valley and the Pirin Mountains beyond. This route passes through some of the loveliest countryside in Bulgaria, with an ever-changing panorama of gorges, forests and meadows dotted with a succession of highland villages, where tobacco farming is the main source of income, which amply compensates for the awfulness of the road.

The lanscape is mountainous and hilly, spring comes late, summer is cool, and the autumn - warm. Winter, due to the influence of the Aegean along the Dospat river, is mild, snow lasts quite long.
