Discover Bulgaria: The Cultural Highlights Around Elenite

These days, Bulgaria is not such a well-kept secret, with its gorgeous climate and hearty cuisine enough to tempt many holidaymakers. However, aside from the idyllic coastal lifestyle and the appeal of the sun, sea and sand, what may be lesser known are the country’s diverse cultural attractions. Wait – you want both? Well, one destination that can well and truly lay claim to ‘having it all’ is the delightful holiday resort town of Elenite, which may lure you with

An Aquatic Paradise: Bulgaria’s Best Waterpark

Ravda, a small village in Bulgaria, is a lovely holiday destination, especially for families. The village itself is beautiful, peaceful and laidback, with summer temperatures averaging out at a steamy 30 degrees Celsius. It’s located on the coastline of the Black Sea, meaning there are a handful of golden sandy beaches where Mum and Dad can sunbathe while the kids splash in the clear blue waves. One of Ravda’s many charms is that, while it is centrally located, it is

A Cheap and Cheerful Beach Resort Break in Sozopol

Cheaper air travel and more bargain-savvy young travellers are seeing UK tourists expand their ambitions for European holidays well beyond the Mediterranean. The past ten years or so have seen the Balkans rise to prominence as a great spot for an affordable summer break. And Sozopol fits the bill perfectly.

Sunny Beach: The Ultimate Clubbing Destination

Summer is almost upon us, which means that every true lad will be thinking about one thing: where to go for a booze-fuelled boys’ holiday this year! Ibiza will, understandably, be one of the first places mentioned, but where are some alternatives?

I think that Sunny Beach is a real hidden gem that surpasses Ibiza in many respects. This resort is located on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast – perhaps not the first place you think of for a summer holiday, but, as the name suggests, this place offers plenty of sun, sea and sand. It also has a pulsating nightlife which any party animal will love. Those who have been seem to return year after year and this could easily become a new favourite with your troops.

Another reason I love this destination? It is ridiculously cheap with pints costing less than 50p! Perfect.

A Magic ‘Mates’ Break’ to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria

Boys, boys, boys… It’s that time of the year again. Time to start the long and delicate process of negotiations to convince your wife, girlfriend, kids, mother or boss that you’re perfectly capable of heading abroad with your mates for a relaxing few days in the sun without: a) spending six weeks’ wages shouting 300 strangers tequila jelly shots in the beach bar; b) drinking yourself into the next edition of Ripley’s Believe It or Not; c) waking up with amnesia in a foreign jail cell wearing a Spiderman costume and sporting a new tattoo of Beyoncé on your chest;
