Orheiul Vechi is one of the most important and popular landmarks of Chisinau. It is and ancient settlement, located on the left bank of the river Raut not far from the villages Butuceni and Trebujeni. It is an archeological and historical complex, which represents great interest for the history devotees.

The historians have managed to find traces of various civilizations in the Old Orhei. Among these traces there is a Geto-dacian fortress dated 6th-1st centuries BC, several Ottoman forts (the 14th century AD) and orthodox monasteries (also the 14th century). As your private guide in Moldova I will tell you a lot of interesting information concerning this archeological and historical complex. The Moldavians consider it a matchless historical and natural monument. It is a unique place as far as it combines breath-taking natural landscapes and traces of ancient civilizations.

Probably that’s why it is one of the most popular tours among other private tours in Moldova. Most of the vestiges found on the territory of the Old Orhei belong to the Turks – bath houses, mosque, mausoleums and so on.
