Tell us about Bulgaria.
Hello From Buglaria
Located in South Eastern Europe, Bulgaria is bordered by Greece and Turkey to the South, Romania to the North and Macedonia and Serbia to the West. Its Eastern Border is formed by the beautiful Black Sea Coast. A country of outstanding natural beauty the environment remains unspoilt and is incredibly varied. A relatively small country, a few hours drive will take you from the snow covered central Pirin mountain Ranges to the long sandy beaches of the Black Sea coast.
Forming the heart of several of ancient histories greatest civilizations Bulgaria's rich culture is reflected in a vast number of architectural treasures. Only Greece and Italy have a greater number of historical monuments. Throughout the country you will find ancient Greek sites, Roman amphitheatres and Byzantine churches. The country is home to 160 monasteries, 36 cultural centres and 40,000 listed archaeological monuments. Seven sites have achieved a coveted place on the UNESCO world heritage list.
What is the cost of living in Bulgaria?
Bulgaria is said to have one of the lowest costs of living in Europe. A wonderful meal for 2 including wine will rarely exceed around £7.00 GBP. The cost of a 10 minute journey in a taxi will only be about £1.00 GBP. Cigarettes cost just 40p per packet and a day out in a museum or the theatre will cost just a couple of pounds. A quality beer will cost 25p!
Quality of life
First time visitors to Bulgaria are surprised by its diversity and its stunning natural beauty. For years a real effort has been made to preserve the country's rich and unspoilt flora and fauna. As a result, Bulgaria is ecologically one of the purest countries in Europe, with exceptionally clear air and water resources. There are 7 national parks, more than 3000 protected natural sites and 17 bio-spherical reserves (the greatest recorded number in Europe). There are also 419 protected animal species and 63 protected types of plant.
Not only is the quality of life in Bulgaria good, but the cost of living is one of the lowest in Europe. A meal for two, made from locally grown and organically pure products and including a bottle of nice wine will rarely cost you more than six or so pounds. A quality beer will cost 40 pence!
The Black Sea Coast of Bulgaria
The 380 kilometres of beaches are amongst some of Europe's cleanest and safest. Many of them have been awarded prestigious “Blue Flag status. The region enjoys average summer temperatures of between 25-30 degrees. The season extends from April to October. Coupled with the renowned low cost of living it is easy to see why the Black Sea coast provides and an ideal summer destination – and is surprisingly easy to access from an ever increasing number of European Airports.
Even though the Black Sea coast is an established tourist area, with resorts such as Sunny Beach attracting tourists since the late 1950's, it has recently become one of the fastest growing summer tourist destinations in Europe. So fast growing in fact that last year demands for tourist beds outstripped supply by 20%!
Bulgaria is said to be the fastest growing holiday destination for 2004 and at least 200,000 Britons were likely to visit the summer resorts this year - nearly double last year's total. Next year three new major UK tour operators will also be offering summer holidays in Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian winter resorts (Map)
Modern Borovets is one of the largest and increasingly popular winter resorts in the Balkan region. It is situated on scenic northern slopes of the Mousala Ridge in the east of the panoramic Rila Mountains. The resort lies huddled in thick pine forests some 1390 meters above sea level. The area has a long history – attracting people to ski here since as early as 1896 – taking advantage of the many pistes which rise to a staggering 2,600m!
The resort is a perfect place to enjoy excellent facilities off pist as well as on the snow. Many restaurants are clustered around the well appointed and superbly equipped major hotels, making dining a real pleasure with an endless array of contemporary and traditional eating places available. Borovets is the perfect place to relax and provides many other recreational opportunities throughout the year. The climate is considered to be healthy, enjoying beautifully clean air, mild winter temperatures and of course mountains of snow! Usually the slopes at Borovets are covered in snow from mid December through to April.
Borovets is also easy accessible- 12 minutes of first class road connects it with Samokov, the most sizeable town in the area. Sofia is just 45 minutes away. There is a regular bus transport into Samokov every 30 minutes and excellent links from there to the capital.
Bansko is considered by many to be Bulgaria's number one ski resort. It has the most modern ski facilities in the country and is a well-established destination for winter sport enthusiasts from all around the world. The town of Bansko is located 925 m. above sea level, and its ski slopes vary in altitude from 2000 m - 2600 m above sea level. It is some one hour from Sofia, but only 10 minutes from the bustling town of Razlog. Bansko has developed into a favorite ski & snowboard destination, but also boasts unique architecture, has many historically significant sites nearby, as well as beautiful scenery and countryside for miles around.
During the recent years a multi-million Euro investment in a brand new state of the art skiing area has been made by Yulen, the company that is the licensed to provide the facilities within the Bansko skiing resort area. Furthermore, Bansko enjoys plentiful snow and therefore the season stretches from early December through to May! The longest season of any Bulgarian resort! During the last couple of years the resort has seen a massive investment in new prestigious hotels and recreational facilities .A brand new extension to the resort area also includes holiday apartments adjacent to the central hub of the Gondola and ski lift system.

Thanks for your interest on me :-6
I was born in Burgas, which on the other hand is the fourth largest city in Bulgaria situated in the south-eastern part of the country. The city has a great infrastructure, International airport and it is a significant commercial centre. The port of Burgas is the biggest sea port in the country. The favourable geographical location and advanced transport infrastructure of Burgas are good prerequisites for development of the tourism and trade in the southern Bulgarian Black sea coast. There are many vacation villages and seaside resorts around the city such as Sunny Beach and St. Vlas on north and Duni holiday village on south, renowned for its unique architectural composition.
Sure I like the living here, the living in Bulgaria is the same as any other European country.
I have been in many countries around the world (Europe, the middle east , Africa)unfortunately I haven’t been in the US

sure, here is an article about Bansko enjoy it:driving:
BANSKO – A PLACE OF NEVER ENDING WINTER STORIES
This unique town has become a cult place for mountain lovers, winter sports, and year round tourism.
Many first-time visitors to Bansko, the town tucked into the foothills of Pirin Mountain, say they instantly fall in love with this place. Indeed, this town begs to be visited again and again. It has combined to perfection the charm of its natural beauty with its unique cultural heritage.
Located 170km south of Sofia, Bansko is a 2.5-hour drive from an international airport. However, once one gets there, the town feels like a surreal place from a beautiful fairytale. The region of Bansko is an ethnographical, archeological, and architectural preserve. Beautiful churches and houses, each representing a unique masterpiece with their woodcarving and mural paintings; nearby archeological sites – ancient fortresses, Thracian tombs, and a Greek necropolis – all add to the beautiful mystique of this town.
Bansko serves as a gateway to Pirin, the alpine mountain range with many lakes and waterfalls, majestic peaks, deep caves, thermal springs and magical alpine forests, with trees over 1,000 years old. The Pirin National Park is included in the list of UNESCO preservation projects for having an exceptional natural and historical value.
As the fame of this mountain resort spread internationally in the past few years, the region of Bansko has attracted an unprecedented number of tourists and investors.
The influx of visitors has prompted the building of many new developments of vacation properties, whose supply still cannot satisfy the high demand.
Bansko offers great ski conditions and an easy access to the ski runs. The town is located at 925m above the sea level, while the ski area is at 2000-2500m. A quick new Gondola lift takes the skiers directly from the town up the mountain. The tourism growth prompted the creation of many new lifts, ski runs, and tracks in the ski area. Because of the high elevations, practicing winters sports on this mountain can be possible as late as early summer.
When summer comes, Bansko once again becomes a place for mountain lovers – hikers, rock climbers, cave divers, and all sorts of nature enthusiasts come to this area to breath the crystal air and admire the beautiful sites. In the summer, Bansko is also a bustling cultural center, where many international and national festivals take place. Folk singing and dancing, craft making, woodcarving, icon painting, music playing – all can be found here.
Among other Bansko attractions are its numerous cozy cafes, restaurants, and traditional Bulgarian pubs that offer great cuisine and unique atmosphere. The local people in this town often say that those who come here never want to go back and perhaps they’re right.
