Holidays to Bulgaria

Holidays To Bulgaria

A lot more people these days are choosing Bulgaria for their
summer holiday. As more and more people are discovering Bulgaria
as holiday destination the tour operators and flight companies
are starting to expand their service into this country. There is
still an awful lot for Bulgaria to do before they get accession
into the EU ( which is currently set for 2007 ).

Bulgaria has a lovely coastline and there are 2 main holiday
destinations one in the north called Golden Sands and one in the
south called Sunny Beach. These 2 destinations are where the
main hotels accommodations are located.Large tour operators are
based in these resorts the likes of First Choice. When having a
holiday in Bulgaria there is two options to choose from. The
first being the normal package holiday from travel agents which
you will be staying in the normal hotel at half board or all
inclusive. The second option would be a private villa or
apartment booked directly with the villa or apartment owner.
After that you will have to book your own flights to the country.

The second option of the private villa or apartment in Bulgaria
is a very cost effective option. Lets have a look at the process.

There is a few websites offering villa or apartment Holidays to
Bulgaria. Your first point of contact would be the internet to
search for the options available to you. Now because the private
rental market in Bulgaria is in its infancy the prices of villas
or apartments are very reasonable. This would cost you a lot
less than booking a private rental in the likes of Spain. Once
you have chosen the property you are wanting to book you would
contact the owner directly to either check availability or to
book the property.

Flights is the harder bit there is a few companies that have
just come on the market offering cheap flights to Bulgaria the
likes of wizzair but with this company it is not a directly
flight you usually have to stop off in Budapest. The main
company is First Choice which offer the best deals I have seen
on the internet to date. As Bulgaria gets more and more popular
with British tourists then more of the cheap flight companies
will introduce regular flights to the country making it an
easier option for people. Generally a private rental Holiday
done through the internet yourself should save you roughly about
100 - 150 per person.

Lets have a look at the destinations for Bulgaria. Golden Sands
is the smallest of the 2 big resorts it is found about 20km
outside Varna and is a beach resort to rival any of the european
resorts and with the prices of things in Bulgaria it is likely
that you would not spend as much on a holiday to Bulgaria as you
would to other European resorts.

Sunny Beach is the southern resort and is 4 times as big as
Golden Sands. Again Golden sands is a beach resort like any
european resorts with a multitude of hotels apartments and
villas for rent. The restaurants are delicious and the
friendliness of the locals always make you feel at home.

There are other not so well known smaller resorts the likes of
Albena, Kranevo, Sozopol, Sinemoretz, Balchik that are worth
visiting and all within easy reach of either a City the likes of
Varna or Bourgas or one of the bigger resorts.

What is becoming more popular these days is the rural holidays
to Bulgaria where people just want to get away from the hustle
and bustle of normal life and want a more relaxed, friendly
atmosphere. Staing in a rural area and experiencing the real
Bulgarian way of life is a must. The locals are so friendly and
are only too happy to invite yo to experience their way of life.
Village life in Bulgaria is recommended if you are looking for
relaxation or de-stressing as nothing is more calming than life
in a real Bulgarian Village.

In Summary as Bulgaria gets more popular with british tourists
there is an abundance of private rental property for
holidaymakers to choose from. Bulgaria is a lovely country which
is waiting to be explored. It is an unspoilt country with plenty
to offer holidaymakers that are looking either for a busy
nightlife or the peace and quiet rural life of the countryside.
So why not have a look at what is on offer in Bulgaria and book
your Holiday to Bulgaria now.
