The road to Beli Iskar
This next road takes you all the way to Beli Iskar. Just before you enter the village, you will see that the road bears right towards the villages of Madzhare (Маджаре) and Goverdartsi (говердарци). Don't follow this road to the right, bear left into Beli Iskar (бели искър).
Welcome to Beli Iskar
Once in the village, you should see the magnificent rock formation, known as Eagles Rock, rising before you in the distance. Follow the road around to the left, over the bridge (the River Iskar again!) and at the fork in the road, just before the old school building, bear to the left. This takes you up the hill past the new Eagles Rock development(with the characteristic witches hats on the towers) up to Chalet Iskar, which can be found on the left hand side.
Return Journey
Your return journey is simply a matter of going back the way you came until you reach the outskirts of Sofia. At this point it is good idea to refuel your hire vehicle at one of the many petrol stations dotting the carriageways. You will notice on the map of Sofia, a slightly different return section marked in red. This brings you onto the mаin Sofia /Plovdiv (софия/пловдив) road in a more direct route. This shortcut is easily spotted by keeping an eye out for a group of 4 tall, factory chimneys in the distance. Head straight for the chimneys and at the junction with the main dual carriageway, turn left. Once safely on the highway, you will see the signposts for Sofia airport, which is a right turn. Immediately after turning right and merging onto the new road, you need to move across to the left hand side of the road in order to keep going straight ahead to the terminal building. Both the old and new terminals are signposted as you approach.
Your AutoJet representative will meet you at the terminal.
