Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria. This city is full of possibilities to have fun. I spoke with many foreigners who have been in Bulgaria and Sofia and most of them shared these impressions:
1) Bulgarian restaurants and especially these in Sofia are good, really good. It is very easy to find a good place where you can eat organic, quality food. The food in Bulgaria is still organic and you can feel the real taste of fruits and vegetables.
2) You can live better in Bulgaria with the money you spent in American or Western European country. Services in Bulgaria are really affordable – I give you my best example – haircut is 5 euros and visit to the dentist is 10-15 euros (I mean not only the visit, but the most common manipulation – the filling).
3) Shopping – there are many Bulgarian clothes brands that are really good – can you imagine buying quality suit in Europe for fewer than 100 euros?
4) Night clubs are open until there are people who want to have fun, you can dance with local young people and recharge your batteries.

The private holiday market in Bulgaria is on the increase. Things can only keep getting better for the private holiday home market in Bulgaria. With Bulgaria on the verge of entry to the EU the prospect of more European visitors is only a good thing. The private rental market is looking for a market leader and a company that is going to provide customers with a medium to find the private villas and apartments.
Holidays to Bulgaria is the place to fill the gap between the Holiday maker and the holiday home owner. If a customer is looking for a Bulgarian Holiday then the first thing on their mind should be Holidays to Bulgaria.

I live with Baba now during the day. Galia is out to work early ’till late and I am writing with Baba Mama doing her busy woman about the house trick everyday. She is 84 and doesn’t stop going back and forth from chores in the kitchen to sweeping the yard, watering the garden, putting the washing out. She starts at 7:00 Photograph by Dido Mihajlov in the morning and doesn’t stop until bedtime. There is a rest at around 1:00 – 2:00 where she gets her head down for a little snooze but that’s where it ends. Even when she is sitting down her hands are busy sewing, knitting or repairing something. What Baba can’t understand is why I don’t slow down and eat and sleep every couple of hours. She doesn’t understand that a
Bulgarian man is very different to a Englishman. I always remember going back nearly tow years ago when she saw me vacuuming the front room…… she was in tears as she had never seen anything like it in her 80 odd years in Bulgaria.
