The Rhodopes keep ancient secrets. Belintash is a rock sanctuary of the Bessi, dedicated to the god Sabazios; Karadzhov Kamak is an impressive rock sanctuary revered by the ancient Thracians; and In Kaya, "the Blue Rock", is a mystical Thracian sanctuary overhanging the mountain. Between them lies Krastova Gora, a holy place we reach on foot.
