Bulgaria Holidays
Bulgaria is one of Eastern Europe's best kept secrets. A country of many contrasts; from beautiful beaches to magnificent mountain ranges, holidays to Bulgaria are becoming increasingly popular with those looking for golden sands, warm shallow waters and hot summer sunshine at great value prices.
A Balkan nation, where fine hospitality is second nature, Bulgaria holidays offer a sweeping sense of culture and history combined with modern, family friendly resorts.
Holidays in Bulgaria – Eastern Europe’s best kept secret
Over the past few years, holidays to Bulgaria have become more popular, attracting sun-seekers from around the world - a dramatic change to how the country was just 10 years ago. With spectacular mountains, swathes of golden beaches and vibrant cities, Bulgaria is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
A feast fit for Kings
Hanska Shatra (Khan's Tent) pays homage to Khan Krum, who ruled Bulgaria during the 9th Century. Several kilometres north of Sunny Beach, with beautiful views of the coast, you’ll find this large tent which hosts a spectacular evening of traditional fine dining and Bulgarian hospitality. For a Bulgarian holiday you won’t forget, just sit back and enjoy as waiters in period costume present you with an elaborate show of music and dancing.
Spas and Salt Lagoons
With 800 mineral springs, Bulgaria is one of the richest lands of spas and wellness spots in Europe. A holiday to Bulgaria would not be complete without a visit to one of the country’s best known spa resorts. Pomorie is nestled between the sea and Lake Pomorie, a salt lagoon famous for its 2,000 year old mud treatments. It is the ideal location to sit back and soak in the curative properties of the ancient treatment.
A Natural Phenomenon
This natural phenomenon of standing stones, near Varna, is more than 50 million years old. Often called the “Petrified Forest”, it’s not hard to see why, as many of the limestone monuments resembled petrified trees. With columns reaching 6 to 12 metres high, this area has fascinated and mystified people for many years.
Top Bulgaria Holiday Resorts
Sunny Beach – As the largest resort on the Black Coast, Sunny Beach has it all. Soft, grainy, sun-soaked sand stretches off towards the cliffs whilst the crystal clear waters lap at the shore. The list of sports and activities is impressive, and the resort offers a wealth of attractions at exceptional value for money.
A pleasure-seekers paradise, Sunny Beach is guaranteed to have something for you. Relax and unwind, take a sporting break or dance till dawn, but whatever you do you won’t be disappointed. Ideal for families, groups and couples, soak up the atmosphere of this entertaining town or use it as a base and head further afield for your fair share of cultural delights.
Nessebar – Divided into the New and Old Towns of Nessebar, both with something special to offer, this quaint resort is best known for its Old Town, located on a romantic rocky peninsula that juts out onto the Black Sea. Steeped in the atmosphere of an old fishing village, this UNESCO World Heritage site feels a world away from the more commercial resorts, and its relative isolation has served it well. With beautiful views across the ocean, you are never more than a minute or so away from being confronted by dazzling blue seas. There are plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants to suit everyone’s tastes and the wonderful ancient ambiance is the perfect background for an unforgettable holiday opportunity.
