Bulgaria is one of the resorts most loved by Russians. Some of them have known her since Soviet childhood. But since then, the conditions for recreation there have changed a lot. New comfortable hotels have been built, parks are laid out, playgrounds are equipped. This and the relative cheapness of vouchers attract more and more tourists to Bulgaria every year.
Resorts in Bulgaria - should you choose the popular one?
Bulgaria has two of the most popular resorts. These are Golden Sands and Sunny Beach. They are located not far from the large seaside cities - Varna and Burgas. Each of them has an international airport, which makes it easier for tourists to get to the hotel. Therefore, in the resorts of Golden Sands and Sunny Beach, even out of season there are quite a lot of people.
When choosing where to go, do not cling to familiar names - Golden Sands, Sunny Beach, Saint Vlas. Explore the Bulgarian coastline, choose a small town and learn more about it. You will definitely not be disappointed.
Food prices, food in restaurants in popular resorts are more expensive than on less popular beaches. And the crowded coastline makes Sunny Beach and Golden Sands less and less attractive for tourists. It can be difficult to find a place during the season, since almost all beaches in Bulgaria are public, and even those who live in hotels have to rent sun loungers or sit right on the sand on a mat.
But if someone fell in love with this country with all their soul, do not worry. On the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, there are dozens of small towns that have retained their flavor and delight vacationers with low prices, homemade fruits and vegetables, and almost deserted beaches.
A visa is required for Russians in Bulgaria. You can get it at the consulate in Moscow, you can also enter with a valid Schengen visa.
Unpopular Bulgarian resorts - which one to choose
Small Bulgarian towns and villages on the Black Sea coast are attracting more and more tourists. Many people already know such names as Kranevo, Obzor, Albena, Kiten, Pomorie. There is a beautiful and clean Black Sea, excellent beaches, but there are no crowds of tourists. The entire infrastructure of the townships is adapted for vacationers. There are small family cafes where you can taste both traditional Bulgarian and European dishes, there are amusement parks with inflatable slides, trampolines, carousels, hypermarkets, fitness centers, chain hotels and mini-hotels.
You can relax there for very little money. A room in a four-star hotel with breakfast costs from twenty euros per day, depending on the month. The cheapest is in May / June, but at this time the sea is still quite cold. Apartments can also be rented. Their price is from ten euros per day. But most often this is an option without a kitchen, it is suitable for those who travel for a short time and without small children.
Each of these resorts has its own peculiarity, in Obzor there are low Carpathian mountains that close the city from the mainland, in Kranevo there is a bay in which the water is warmer than in the sea, and there are no waves, etc. These towns and villages are very beautiful and recreation in them can be of higher quality than in popular resorts.
