Holiday in Bulgaria

Bulgaria is located on the south east coast of Europe and is a beautiful country offering a versatile range of holiday destinations. Perhaps best known for its Black Sea beach resorts, Bulgaria beach holidays offer an exciting choice of European summer sun locations. With long stretches of fine, golden sand; rocky outcrops hiding desolate coves and caves and colourful fishing villages,; the range of beaches in Bulgaria is endless. Whether you want a quiet relaxing holiday, resting in tranquil peace or a lively break packed with fun watersports, discos, restaurants and bars; Bulgaria’s opulent Black Sea coastline is sure to have something for everyone.

Bulgaria’s mountainous interior is rife with ancient culture and the people of the villages and towns are warm and welcoming to visitors. The culture is folk-like and friendly and restaurateurs will invite you in to share some food, a drink and some rustic Bulgarian singing and dancing. Verdant, wooded hills scattered with fragrant roses and thermal springs and spas make up the surroundings and induce wonderful feelings of harmony and relaxation. There are also national parks and ancient buildings and monuments hidden amidst the rolling hillsides; all the authentic wonders of Bulgaria are there just waiting to be found.

Things to do whilst on your holiday in Bulgaria:

• Why not explore the country’s history and culture in Bulgaria’s old towns where you will find painted monasteries and churches, ancient Thracian relics and rustic settlements.
• Head to Bulgaria’s scenic coastal resorts where if you tire of sunbathing, you can try out exciting watersports like jetskiing, parasailing, snorkelling, sailing and diving.
• Explore the spectacular countryside of hills, valleys and forests on a popular hiking trail or by cycling or horseriding.
• Join in with folklore traditions in an authentic village and enjoy dancing and singing in rustic surroundings.

Bulgaria Cuisine - The evening meal is a celebrated occasion across Bulgaria and food and drink is usually accompanied by traditional entertainments such as folk music and dancing across Bulgaria’s restaurants. Meals are almost always preceded by a hearty local salad and the menu choice is robust and tasty. Local favourites to try are ‘kavarma’, a casserole of pork or veal with onions and mushrooms; or ‘banitsa’, a pastry stuffed with tasty cheese. There is also a wide choice of international food available in Bulgaria’s cities and resorts.

Nightlife- Bulgaria has a vibrant night scene with lots of bars and clubs open until the small hours. Cities and resorts such as Sofia, Bourgas and Plovdiv offer a versatile range of entertainments from traditional folk music and opera to techno house clubs and lively bars. With villages and smaller resorts offering a slower paced evening, there is a choice of entertainment to suit everyone; whether it be partying the night away or lingering over a traditional meal and drink.
