I. A VERY SHORT DEFINITION OF THE RHODOPES

The Rhodopes are a mountain range in Southeastern Europe. Actually (after the end of the so called Balkan Wars 1912-1913 AD) about 80% of its area is situated in the Southern part of Bulgaria and 20% of it in Northern  Greece.
The whole Rhodopean region (no matter of state boundaries) is very specific under its cultural, ethnographic and linguistic aspects and will be the central object of this non-commercial independent information project.
