Bulgaria holidays: Beaches, mountains and powdery snow fields
Bulgaria holidays are a great and inexpensive way to enjoy your time off.
If you are thinking of a holiday to Bulgaria there are plenty of reasons to visit.
As far as detinations go, Bulgaria is certainly a place you may have heard of. Some of you may think: unknown, Eastern Europe, underdeveloped, and.....Dracula. (actually, that's Romania). Well, you couldnt be more wrong. Those images are a thing of the past in the new modernized tourism destination of the Balkans. Bulgaria has been a member of the EU already for 2 years, and thanks to the current credit crunch, it is looking far more interesting as a holiday destination.
Boasting some fantastic skiing conditions, and pretty warm beaches in summer, Bulgaria is far developing a reputation for holidays on a shoe-string budget. There are magnificent mountains, lakes and also monasteries to visit. Bulgaria holidays are inexpensive and fun and there are plenty of popular places to go. Bulgaria holidays: Ski the slopes!
Powder-like snow flakes fall thick and fast in the ski areas. To ski Bulgaria has a somewhat raw and earthy feel about it (and no doubt cold if you're not dressed accordingly!) You will find all the modern ski equipment and perfectly safe slopes for all ages. A week in the snow will set you back less than half of the price of a holiday in Western Europe. In fact, the snow is just as good St. Moritz and the French alps and the atmosphere is somewhat less pretentious. The ski instructors are good, patient and what's more - fun. There are all types of packages for all types of holiday-makers, from young party-goers who'd rather spend their time in the bars than the slopes, ranging through to family holiday chalets and ski resorts. If it's sun you are looking for - you're in luck. Bulgarian holidays will give you plenty of it - particularly during the summer months. The economy has been booming over the last 5 years on the Black Sea Coast. Numerous resorts have been built to cope with the high demand so most of the complexes are brand new. Varna, Sunny Beach, Golden Sands. and Nessebar are just a few seaside towns popular with Brits and Germans alike. Or if you prefer, you can always book a holiday villa for a home away from home. The ledgend of a £1 beer is still alive in Bulgaria, which also does nothing to hurt its "bargain holiday" reputation. But don't be fooled by the inexpensive price, Bulgaria also has some fantastic off-the-beaten-track toursand hotspots for the non-mainstream holidaymakers. Rila monestry, Veliko Tarnavo and Plovdiv have ancient tracian history and have some very large and beautiful lakes nearby. The forests are large, stunning and a little scary (I wouldnt want to stay overnight there). A cheap holiday in Bulgaria is now easy to book with major airline carriers such as Wizz Air and Easyjet going twice a week from the UK. All in all, you won't be dissapointed in price or in terms of adventure on your holiday to Bulgaria.
