• For those who do not know who the people of Gabrovo are. Gabrovo residents are residents of Gabrovo, a region of Bulgaria. Judging by the anecdotes, some of them are big misers. Super economy and greed are the main themes of the jokes about the Gabrovoites. Gabrovets sold boiled corn near the entrance to the bank, and soon raised a large sum of money. At the end of the season, an acquaintance asked him to borrow ten leva. - You see, friend, - said the seller, - when I opened the tray here, we signed an agreement with the bank so as not to compete. The bank pledged not to sell corn, and I pledged not to lend money.

Nessebar is the oldest city in Europe

Burgas is one of largest cities Bulgaria

- quite attractive and inexpensive resort. There is a large seaport here, international Airport, railway and bus stations.

In Burgas there are beautiful clean beaches , a large seaside park (about 7 km), an opera house and several museums. All this attracts many tourists to the city every year.

Despite the fact that the Internet is actively promising cheap shopping in Burgas, in fact prices very much there rather big, truth good choice... The city itself, although large, is very beautiful.

Sunny Beach is the most expensive resort in Bulgaria

- one of most popular and famous tourist complexes country. The city of incessant discos, lined with rows of countless hotels. Everything is dear here. Prices in shops, restaurants, on the beaches, by taxi - several times higher than in Pomorie. And while the resort is literally packed with people... Although the beaches are clean, you can often see seaweed on the shore (and in the evening they are thrown back into the water).

The resort receives an award for the environmental benefits of water and sand Blue flag.

In Sunny Beach there is a bus station... In the city you can order without any problems many excursions.

Balchik - city-botanical garden

Balchik - inexpensive but not too much beautiful resort... We would not like to rest here all 14 days.

Balchik is popular thanks to its fabulously beautiful summer the residence of the Romanian queen in him. This is one of the main attractions in all of Bulgaria, especially its coastal region.

The city is located in the north of the country and is the third largest seaport... We've been looking for bus station in Balchik, but it turned out that his aldeady no... There is a regular bus stop next to the old and abandoned building. On it hangs the schedule of buses on which you can leave the city.

The main disadvantage, is that get there from Balchik directly to the same Nessebar or Burgas impossible... Necessarily need to change in Varna.

Golden Sands - a hot resort in Bulgaria

Golden Sands is one of the biggest resorts of the country. Prices here just below than in Sunny Beach, but the weather is usually very hot... The sun bakes incredibly, because the mountains do not allow fresh air to break through, so it is often stuffy here.

Great fit for youth and lovers of nightlife. This resort will not let you get bored - music and fun do not stop around the clock. But there is one drawback here - descent to the beach and the entrance to the sea not so flat, as in Sunny Beach or Nessebar due to the mountainous terrain.

Varna - cultural and historical heritage of Bulgaria

Varna is also popular resort Bulgaria. It is a huge, lively city with many parks, shops and squares. It's impossible to say that everything is very cheap here, but especially high prices you can't name it either.

Varna is an important economic and cultural center with its own airport and ferry connections. This the biggest port city of Bulgaria.

Varna has large bus station, from which you can leave in any direction - both in Bulgaria itself and in other countries of the world.

Obzor - a young resort village

In this town we were just passing through, but it seemed to us cute and inexpensive, even if a little boring... The survey is developing rapidly and will soon promise a luxurious vacation for any category of tourists.

Prices On him much lower than in popular resorts in the country. In the town there is a bus station.

Sea a little warmer than in neighboring Golden Sands. Great for rest with children... Works in the Review children's camp with a water park and an amusement park.

Ravda is a resort for calm tourists

— small village, which is located next to Nessebar and actively built up... This is a developing resort, therefore prices here a little lower, but not much to look at. In the central part of the town in front of the city hall, there is a nice fountain.

There is a water park and a lunapark in Ravda. Beaches clean, well-groomed, with all conviniences... Ravda fits for budget vacation and recreation with children.

Aheloy - the city of expensive hotels

Aheloy - small a cozy resort town on the Bulgarian coast. Despite the fact that he himself is quite far from the sea, many expensive hotels, except for which there is nothing at all.

Coasts Acheloy clean and well-groomed, there are also balneological resorts... Suitable for family holidays, because the resort is located in an ecologically clean and calm region of Bulgaria.

From the authors

Bulgaria in fact very contrasting country... Cheap resorts here are no worse than expensive ones, we like them even more. They just haven't been promoted yet. For example, Pomorie is cozy and beautiful, prices are extremely low, and Sunny Beach is intended exclusively for people who want to spend money quickly - a little ugly jumble of hotels and nightclubs. The list is not expensive resorts , compiled solely from our experience and impressions, is approximately the following: Pomorie, Balchik, Varna, Burgas, Obzor.

Lot in Bulgaria and expensive resorts... And if some take a fee for beautiful landscapes, the antiquity of the city and the Bulgarian flavor (which is understandable), others simply suck money out of you, as if with a vacuum cleaner. TO untwisted and not even very cheap we would include: Sunny Beach, Golden Sands, Nessebar, Ravda, Aheloy.
