ARKUTINO RESORT 4*- a cozy and very quiet hotel near , suitable for families with children, no discos, but organic products from the farm and a fresh Black Sea breeze.

I love Bulgaria very much. Once upon a time, it was with her that my interest in foreign countries and Europe. Having already visited many other countries, I was finally able to look here. Bulgaria will always remain a special place for me - it is similar to Turkey, Germany, and Russia, and therefore combines many of the advantages of the countries listed above. Bulgaria is also good because there are low prices for hotels, fruits, vegetables, food in restaurants and cafes, trips and excursions. The beaches here are clean and comfortable, suitable for a simple beach holiday for any Russian family.
Bulgaria is a beautiful country, picturesque and similar enough to Russia that you can travel around it without any worries. Bulgaria, of course, is not all interesting for tourists: mostly there are small towns and villages, half-abandoned, on simple plains. But there is also a stunning city - the capital Sofia, which is half like Russian city, half in German and yet very authentic. The photo below shows the Golden Sands resort.
And the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria is absolutely breathtaking. There are incredibly beautiful traditional seaside towns, recently restored by the state, large resorts with large hotels and large-format beaches, as well as wild bays, where you can come by bus or car to enjoy their pristine beauty.
Beach holiday
Beach holiday in Bulgaria it belongs to the Black Sea coast. There are small towns with boutique hotels and apartments for rent, large resorts with large chain hotels and entire tourist towns, as well as small villages with picturesque bays for a quiet, secluded holiday. For example, like in Sveti Vlas in the photo below.
Beach holidays in Bulgaria are especially good due to the climate. Usually all the cities and villages on the coast are small, they have clean and pleasant air, there are no traffic jams or increased traffic, or the noise of a big city. Another plus is the spacious sandy beaches for those who are tired of pebbles and who are sensitive to this vacation destination. The brightest and cleanest beaches are in Pomorie, near Burgas. And here is a gorgeous color.
I visited many cities in Bulgaria, traveled all over the country, somewhere I was only two or three days, somewhere for two or even three or four weeks, and I can say with confidence that almost every place could become home for me: It's beautiful, cheap and clean here. I would say that Bulgaria is beautiful place for relaxation and life!
Conventionally, in Bulgaria there are four regions for beach holidays, marked on the map with stars of different colors. The North belongs to such resorts as Varna and Golden Sands; these are the most popular resorts where many Russians have been vacationing for many years. North to south list Bulgarian resorts looks like that:
- Varna is a big city with large shops and a port (there is also a beach here), and Golden Sands is artificially created and very neat and beautiful resort village. These two resorts are located on the north coast.
- The center belongs to, Nessebar and, where in Nessebar you can plunge into Bulgarian culture, in Sunny Beach you can swim, and in Sveti Vlas you can relax from the hustle and bustle surrounded by green hills of wondrous beauty.
- Burgas is good for those who want to come to a real resort city, and not an artificial one, to walk around the city, streets, shops and parks, which is not the case in most Bulgarian resorts. At the same time, Pomorie is a good place to relax with children, the water here is the cleanest, the entry into the sea is very gentle, simply the best in Bulgaria. is a great little village with a beautiful Old Town, which is very loved by Europeans.
- And the wild south, where the villages of Sinemorets, Primorsko, Kiten and Ahtopol are located, is the last lower section for those who love a relaxing holiday by the sea in the wilderness, in the provinces, but with a pleasant climate and clean air. Below you will learn more about each region.
Varna and Golden Sands (north)
Varna is a large city with a population of 335 thousand people. There are a lot of places for walking, beautiful green alleys and parks, classical architecture, many shops, restaurants and hotels. The city lives more independently from tourists than other cities in Bulgaria, so it may be of interest to those who want to see real Bulgarian life with their own eyes. This city is perhaps the greenest of all. There are also good large beaches here that are convenient for tourists. The only negative is the presence of a port, which pollutes the surrounding waters. I would advise you to swim in Golden Sands, nearby, and go for a walk - specifically to Varna.
In August in Varna, an ideal vacation can be spent in a hotel for 50-60 USD per day for four in a good room of 40-60 square meters.
Golden Sands is a resort in which there are no local Bulgarian residents at all. Everyone who works here in the tourist service lives in Varna or at the hotel. Golden Sands is famous for its almost endless beaches, and the city itself, its streets, cafes and restaurants are very beautiful and well-kept.
In Golden Sands you can rent a room for four in a hotel on the first line for 100-200 USD in August and for 50 USD in regular hotel.
Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Sveti Vlas (center)
Nessebar is a small traditional town on the peninsula, home to 22 thousand people, almost all of whom work in tourism. It is very pleasant to relax in this part of the country in peace and unity with the flavor of coastal Bulgaria. There is also Old city with narrow streets, and very big beach in the Sunny Beach area.
In the center of Nessebar you can rent a hotel room for four in August for about 60-100 USD.
Burgas is very popular resort because of its low prices. In August, a room for four can easily be found for 40-50 USD.
Non-tourist areas
In principle, you can see the whole of Bulgaria if you focus on big cities, and not to urban-type settlements. All of it is quite colorful, and the cities are very similar to each other, with tiled roofs in the old center and with panel and other low-rise apartment buildings in new areas. True, I advise you not to drive near the borders to Romania, Serbia and Macedonia, but the borders with Greece and Turkey are more friendly.
Where to go from Bulgaria
Many tourists who come to Bulgaria and realize that they are already in Europe are looking for which country else to visit during a 7-14-day trip. This is correct, since two absolutely incredible countries are located south of Bulgaria - and.
So, in Greece I advise you to visit, Kavala and Alexandroupolis, and in Turkey -.
How to get around Bulgaria
Many people choose the train as the best solution for those who do not like to get tired while traveling, but I suggest you modern air-conditioned buses. Traveling in them is quite comfortable, and there is much more privacy in relation to other passengers. Or you can rent a car and drive around the country on your own. Then, even in 14 days you can travel around absolutely the entire coast of Bulgaria, and in 7 days - half, which is also not bad!
The Black Sea coast of Bulgaria has been a real “Mecca” for decades Russian tourists who consider this country - best place for holidays with children. After all, there are excellent golden sandy beaches, a shallow coastline, a gentle entrance to the sea and warm, clean water. And also, the undoubted advantages of holidays in the best resorts in Bulgaria are relatively low prices, lack of climatic adaptation, bright national color, excellent service, variety of entertainment: from interesting excursions to fishing in the open sea. We should not forget about such an important factor as the lack language barrier: many older Bulgarians speak Russian perfectly, also in Russian, the staff of all hotels, cafes, bars, restaurants and shops communicate well, but if necessary, you can understand quite well what they say to you in Bulgarian, because it is very similar to Russian. We will tell you about holidays at resorts in our article.
Let's start getting to know Bulgaria with general information. It is worth saying that for a beach holiday in this sunny country, tourists fly to one of two international airports located on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria: the city of Varna or the city of Burgas. By the way, it is these cities that divide the coast into northern and southern parts. The flight to Bulgaria from Moscow itself will take two and a half hours.
