The town of Banya, municipality of Karlovo is a resort town in Central Bulgaria, known as Karlovo Mineral Baths.
My dear friends, you will find Banya in the fertile Karlovo valley along the river Stryama.
How do you get to the city of Banya, Karlovo municipality?
The town of Banya is located only 12 kilometers from Karlovo, 12 kilometers from Hisarya and 50 kilometers from Plovdiv.
Climate
The altitude of the resort is 282 meters. The climate is mild, transitional continental. The Banya resort ranks second after Sandanski in terms of the number of sunny days during the year.
Snow in the area very rarely lingers, due to the presence of underground warm mineral springs.
Banya arose thanks to the presence of healing mineral water, as well as the production of wines and essential oils - rose, mint and lavender. The wine and butter industries grew with the arrival of the two Bagar brothers.
In 1927, Tsar Boris III stayed in Velizar Bagarov's house for treatment. After the relief of his illness, he built here in 1929 his home, known as the Palace in Banya.
The "Royal Bath" was built especially for the king, which can still be seen today near the building of the Central Bath.

A wonderful green corner for rest and relaxation has been formed around the Central Bath.
In the Banya resort, the sun and the air take a direct role in the healing process.
Over the fences of the bathhouses, hundreds of red roses smile at you, which also support the healing process and restore the overall emotional tone of the body.
Walking along the wide avenues of the green areas set aside for this purpose is an exceptional pleasure that everyone should do.
Come here too! Rest your body on a park bench. Feel the life-giving rays of the sun in this wonderful region of Bulgaria. And be healthy!
