Nevertheless, recently many people refuse to travel to Bulgarian cities, believing that they will not see or learn anything new there. And for adventures and new impressions, they most often go to distant exotic countries. Probably, such confidence arose because of the extreme proximity of our national traditions, as well as close geographical location. And in vain – the country of roses can offer both extreme and adventure types of recreation, as well as elite and just family vacations.
For those who want to bask in the sun without worrying about meals, all-inclusive hotels are suitable. And for those who want to get to know Bulgaria better, its customs and culture, it is better to travel independently. Moreover, real estate in Bulgaria is quite affordable and diverse in price. You can rent an apartment, house, or suite. At the same time, there are options that are quite cheap, and there are also quite expensive ones. But the most important thing is that the tourist always has a choice.
Prices for accommodation sometimes amaze with their cheapness, for example, you can rent an apartment 500 m from the sea for three people for just 10 euros per day (and if you rent it for a long term, the owners may further reduce the price). Choosing an apartment on the first coastline for a large family of 5 people, you can fit into 30 euros per day, and VIP apartments will cost approximately 50-70 euros per day. Houses are mainly rented for long term (for example, for a month), the cost of a week's stay there ranges from 300 to 350 euros. Admit, the offers are quite attractive. Moreover, what could be better for a holiday than a change of scenery?
There is one delicate question that concerns everyone who wants to get to Bulgaria – a visa. But in fact, you should not worry about it, because its processing will not take much time and money. Visa to Bulgaria allows you to stay in the country for up to 90 days. The Bulgarian consulate issues single, double or multiple tourist visas. The cost of visa processing is from 2650 to 4500 rubles (depending on the urgency of processing and the period of stay in the country). Since 2007, Bulgaria has been in the European Union, and there have long been talks about its accession to the Schengen area, but, unfortunately, this issue is constantly postponed. Nevertheless, those with a Schengen visa have had open road to Bulgaria since 2012, i.e. they do not need a Bulgarian visa.
To visit Bulgaria and not to know what Mehanas are is the same as going to this country in vain. Mehanas are home-style restaurants, family establishments, charming with their warmth and coziness. In them, you can taste national dishes and Bulgarian beer, popularly called "bira". Bulgaria is famous for brewing, there are many varieties of this drink, mostly light. Beer can quite be called a national drink, they drink it here every day, though in moderate quantities.
A huge plus of such catering establishments is affordable prices. For example, breakfast and lunch for one person will cost about 3 to 10 euros. And having dinner with a family of four adults and one child, you can fit into just 35 euros. You will not see such a variety of dishes in a hotel buffet.
Bulgaria is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and original countries of the European Union. Its climate is comfortable for adults, children, as well as for elderly people. The Black Sea pleases with its warmth and calmness. A huge number of attractions that attract tourists amaze with their originality and uniqueness. Not to mention the rose gardens and the variety of rose oils sold in literally every store or trade stall. A vacation in any of the cities of this wonderful country will remain in the memory of every tourist and will leave only vivid impressions.
