Officially known as the Republic of Bulgaria or Bulgarian Republic, Bulgaria is a beautiful mountainous country lying in Balkan Peninsula in Southern Europe bordering the Black Sea to the east, Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia to the west, Romania to the north, Greece and Turkey to the south. Bulgaria also borders Turkey, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia along the sea. The largest and the capital city is Sofia. The country may be very small in area but it is rich in ancient culture, picturesque locales, down to earth and friendly people who provide the warmth and hospitality of old days. Bulgaria is known as “Land of Roses” due to the largest production of roses here. Although Bulgaria is known mostly for its sea resorts much of the actual country can be explored in great mountain regions, with many ski resorts a perfect destination for skiers. With unique customs, spectacular crafts, colorful festivals, folklore and so on Bulgaria has it all to take the imagination of visitors by surprise and excitement.

There are ways to get to Bulgaria- by rail, plane and boat. If you are coming in from the borders you can take the rail. If you are from other continents, going to Bulgaria will take more than a rail ride. Whatever you choose, it is best to do a little research on documentary requirements to cross borders.
There are 15 airlines flying to Bulgaria. Recently the price of a plane ticket to Bulgaria was upped by USD20. This the new Border Tax, in case you don’t know. But before you hop on a plane don’t carry more than 50 cigars and 200 cigarettes. Check your bag if the bottles of wine you have are within the 2 liters limits. If you please, declare the amount of currency you brought along or risk the confiscation of the excess dollars.
If you are taking the frontier route, you must fill up the “statistical card” you’re your personal information and the purpose of your visit. Get this card stamped by the hotel receptionist if you are staying in one. If you are staying with friends, go to a local police outpost for a stamp. Ignoring this warning may cost you more than 100 USD when you leave the country. Read the rest of this entry »

There are essentially three types of accommodations tourists can choose from when arranging their holiday in Bulgaria – book a hotel room, rent a private apartment or rent a villa. Increasingly, private villas have become the preferred option for a number of tourists, and understandably so. Renting a villa comes as close as possible to having a home away from home – with all the conveniences of privacy, a garden, multiple rooms, and verandas. The villas are also in more quaint places, a few kilometers from the main resorts with excellent opportunity for rest and relaxations while preserving proximity to the services available at the resorts. Kosharitza is a case in point. Kosharitza is a small village on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast situated about 5 km inland from the major Bulgarian resort of Sunny Beach. Sunny Beach features dozens of hotels and condo buildings, bars and restaurants, coffee shops and discos, and, yes, noise. In comparison, Kosharitza is slightly elevated on a hill with spectacular views of the bay of Sunny Beach. Getting from there to Sunny Beach takes less than 10 minutes, yet one can experience the fresh air of the mountain along with the summer breeze. There are a number of private houses and villas available for rent.
Kosharitza is only one example but one can find villas for rent throughout the country: in Aprilci at the foothills of the Central Balkan mountains, around the picturesque old capital of Bulgaria Veliko Turnovo, around the ski resort of Bansko, as well as in numerous small villages around the country such as Glavatarci, Petrevene, and Osenovo.
