When planning a holiday, Bulgaria was probably not top of most European’s list – but that looks set to change. With cost an all-important part of any holiday today, Bulgaria is proving that it can offer much as a holiday destination at a price that is still very affordable.

If it’s a summer beach holiday you are after the variety is endless, with busy beach resorts offering water sports, entertainment and a wide choice of restaurants or there are smaller, quieter resorts for those who like to really relax. Here you may want to take in the more traditional old fishing ports of St Vlas and Nessebur, St Konstantin and Varna.

Or, in winter, perhaps a ski holiday would be just the thing? Bulgarian resorts have excellent conditions and facilities that cater to beginners and the more experienced skiers.

For the nature lovers, the country has nearly a hundred nature reserves. Just a short distance away from the ski resort of Bansko for instance is Pirin National Park. A World Heritage site, it is perfect for hiking and observing local fauna and flora. And, as if that’s not enough, culturally there is masses to do, with attractions such as the Rila Monastery, also a World Heritage site, just one of many wonderful sights to take in.
