Bulgaria's Black Sea coast is a wonderful assortment of large sweeps of soft golden sand that are gently lapped by azure blue waters. The beauty of Bulgaria's coast has long been a well kept secret but, little by little, word has spread and resorts such as Golden Sands and Sunny Beach are steadily growing in popularity. And it's not difficult to see why. Aside from the glorious beaches, there is plenty to see, do and experience - ensuring you'll never get bored. Bulgaria has everything from water parks to world heritage sites, as well as numerous traditional and international restaurants in which to enjoy long, lazy meals. The main resorts also have an excellent selection of buzzing bars, as well as venues hosting traditional folk dancing and music.
Bulgaria is a beautiful, original choice for a rewarding, sun soaked holiday liberally peppered with culture, history and excitement.
Famous for:
Its cuisine - Because of its geographical location Bulgarian
food is a mixture of the best elements of the Slavonic, Greek and Turkish cuisine.
Excellent bargains - Best buys include antiques, leather goods, perfume, ceramics and woodcrafts
When to go: Bulgaria has a typically Mediterranean climate with long hot summers and mild but much cooler winters. The resorts are busiest and the sun shines the most between May and September.
