Panagyurski kolonii (Bulgarian: Панагюрски колонии) is a popular mountain resort with a village status situated in the Sredna Gora Mountain near the town of Panagyurishte, Bulgaria.
It is typical with its numerous family-owned summer houses built mainly in the 1930s. There is also a tourist hostel, a few restaurants and cafes and a ski run. A church has been recently restored. The name of the resort literally means "the colonies of Panagyurishte", because it was grounded as a summer recreational area for the children of the nearby town. The summer houses, however, belong to people from all over Bulgaria.
The area around the resort is characterized by dense century old beech woods broken by mountain meadows. Wildlife is very rich, including deer, wild boars and foxes.
