Kaleto Fortress

Just a few kilometers from SPA Hotel Devin, among the green hills and centuries-old forests of the Rhodopes, rises Kaleto Fortress — witness of ancient history and quiet guardian of breathtaking panoramas. This place remains unaffected by the noise of everyday life and brings a special atmosphere of tranquility and grandeur.

What to expect from your visit to Caleta

Kaleto Fortress is situated on a strategic hill overlooking the entire Devin Valley. The remains are authentic and offer a glimpse of life in the Rhodopes during the Middle Ages. The air here is crystal clear, and the noise of the forest merges with the slight murmur of the Devin River at the foot. A walk through the fortress takes time back — you will find stone walls, an old gate and preserved foundations that reveal both the defensive and mystical role of this place.

Secrets and little-known corners

If you deviate from the main path, you will come across shady corners where soft light seeps through the leaves. In spring and early summer, the area around Kaleto is dotted with wild flowers and herbs — a real paradise for lovers of nature and photography. Look east — early in the morning rays of the first sun roll on the dewy rocks, and in the distance the forest weaves shadows and lights.

How to get from SPA Hotel Devin

Kaleto is located less than 2 kilometers northeast of the center of Devin. From SPA Hotel Devin, exit at ul. “Oborishte” and follow the signs for the eco-trail “Kaleto”. The road is pleasant and suitable for walking — about 30-40 minutes along a well-marked forest path, which starts from the Nastan district. For drivers, there is an opportunity to park at the foot of the hill and finish the route on foot.
