Bulgaria – It’s Got What It Takes to Have a Great Time
If you are looking for something a little different, Bulgaria could be the answer to your holiday dilemma. Bulgaria has over 300 days of sunshine per year and summer temperatures are in the high 30’s and low 40’s – bliss. There are 9 UNESCO special heritage sites, and a thriving night life and party scene in Bulgaria’s Black Sea Resorts, so you won’t be short of interesting experiences in the day and entertainment in the evenings. And with low cost airlines flying direct, cheap flights will get you there in no time!
Places to Visit
Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria and it’s known for its ancient religious sites and architectural wonders. Rhodopes is an unspoilt part of the country, where the mountain ranges are homes to eagles, vultures and buzzards, and the spring flowers bring botanists here in April. Varna is full of architectural sights like the Roman Public Baths, the Cathedral of the Assumption, the Varna Sea Gardens and a natural wonder known as the Stone Forest.
Bulgaria’s top family beach resorts are Sunny Beach, Nessebar and St. Konstantine. Sunny Beach holidays are perfect for family holidays with its golden, silky sand and shallow waters, so it’s safe for children to splash around in.
Those looking for the night life, should aim for olden Sands or Varna, where you’ll be sure to find a nightclub to dance in till the sun comes up.
Bulgaria Souvenirs To Take Home
- Pure Rose oil, wildly expensive everywhere else, is very cheap in Bulgaria.
- Rakia is a brandy based drink, usually made of grapes.
- Linen is very reasonably priced and Bulgarian embroidery is bright and delicate, hence the growing interest in Bulgarian wedding dresses.
- Local jam is naturally produced and delicious, partly because pesticides are too expensive for most small scale farmers – so the end result is packed with fruit flavours.
- Gold is a good buy – with local craft designers creating unique pieces on request.
Bulgaria holidays are growing in demand. The Black Sea beach resorts are rivalling the traditional Mediterranean beach holiday. If you are looking for superb amenities, cuisine and hotels…think Bulgaria!
