Holidays to Bulgaria
If you’re looking for a modern holiday with authentic beaches, take a holiday to Bulgaria as it offers both. With sunny summers and snow-filled winters, there is diversity everywhere you go here and plenty to do if you’re wanting to embark on a different adventure each day.
Beautiful Bulgaria has actually been named the cheapest country in the whole of Europe to visit. This is because it is one of the few countries left to change over to the Euro, instead of using the currency of the Bulgarian Lev.
A trip to Bulgaria is not complete without a taste of the local cuisine and distilled wine – Rakia, which will take your taste buds on a journey, as it really packs a punch. Bulgaria’s atmosphere, day and night is electric. There is a certain sociable aura about it that encourages holidaymakers to return over and over again each year. Don’t worry, even if you’re travelling alone, there will be a large group of other friendly tourists to socialise and dine with.

Activities

Beaches
Sit back and relax in the dry heat, at one of many serene Black Sea beaches dotted along the coastline here. Fine sands surround Bulgaria, as does snow in the winter months. Sunny Beach – a modern resort, exists to please tourists who flock to beautiful Bulgaria. For visitors seeking a more authentic beachside experience, Ahtopol bestows rocky shores and a rustic lighthouse nearby.
Food and Drink
Brunch is unheard of in Bulgaria; instead it’s all about brimming breakfast plates, quick lunches and vast dinners. Shopska salads - comprising cucumber, baked peppers, tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese are a lunch time hit here, as are the homemade bean soups. For a quick dinner, try the king of all kebabs - the ubiquitous. If you’re looking for a fine dining experience, visit Arkan Han Restaurant for tasty meatballs and sticky ribs.
Sights
Be sure to pack your camera, because Bulgaria is filled with stunning sightseeing adventures to embark on, where you can capture some superb scenery, as well as natural bridges and monuments. The intricately detailed Eagles’ Bridge in Sofia was built in 1888, to mark the eastern border and to this day, still stands tall and proud.
