BULGARIA
Only now being discovered by tourists, Bulgaria is a land of many treasures and pleasures. In the southeastern Balkan peninsular, this breathtaking country is a natural gem, characterised by soaring mountain scenery, long, sun-drenched beaches and a warm, colourful culture and hospitality that has remained unchanged for centuries.
Along with the deep, dense forests and breathtaking mountain ranges that dominate its interior, it offers contrast after contrast, from rich cultural traditions to the purpose-built resorts that line its scenic Black Sea coast, where broad, Blue Flag sandy beaches meet inviting blue waters along almost 400 kilometres of shore line.
Whatever holiday you are seeking - relaxing on the beach, throwing yourself into an action packed break or cooling off exploring the traditional Bulgaria of sleepy mountain villages and forested mountains - this magnificent country has it all.

Bulgaria is also renowned for its rich cultural heritage, which is displayed in its seasonal festivals, ritual folk dances and its brightly coloured, decrotive national costume. Throughout the summer, regular cultural folk festivals are held in different parts of the country.

Bulgarian food is a blend of Slavonic, Greek and Turkish cuisine, and includes specialities such as Shopska salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and sheep’s cheese), and trator (chilled cucumber, walnut and yogurt soup).
