Experience Bulgaria Holidays

By Harry Mikes

Still a new and exciting country for most people to visit, Bulgaria holidays are fast becoming one of the up and coming vacation choices. A new arrival on the holiday scene, Bulgaria has only been free from communism for little over a decade.

When arriving in Bulgaria for the first time, the first thing that strikes you is how traditional the country appears. With few signs of western culture, it is clear this country is proud of its origins and wants to keep them.

Bordered on three sides by Rumania, Serbia and Macedonia and Greece and Turkey, Bulgaria clings to the underside of Europe with a distinctive Mediterranean feel.

If you wish to soak up the sun and beach culture, taking Bulgaria holidays through May, June, July and September would be best. With a temperate climate however, holidays can be enjoyed all year round. If skiing is your thing, head here through the winter months for less crowded but still challenging pistes.

Accommodation on Bulgaria holidays is practically given away, with even the most expensive of metropolitan hotels costing no more than one hundred dollars a night. For something ridiculously cheap however, check out the basic hostels at less than even five dollars a day.

Eating in Bulgaria is fantastic and, thankfully, few western fast food restaurants are in evidence, (though this is set to change). Take some time to explore the Mediterranean influenced dishes, particularly the wonderful little cheese pastries that are a treat! When trying the local alcohol; take Rakia and Mastika drinks at your peril, and be prepared for a long morning the day after!

Whether you intend to soak up the sun; submerge yourself in the sea; or ski down the slopes, Bulgaria holidays have it all. Just being here fills you with excitement.
