Bulgaria is a relatively sparsely populated country, with only around 8 million inhabitants on an area the size of 110,910 sq km .

Apart from the commercial resorts, Bulgaria is practically unknown to tourists.

 If you want a 'new' destination - this is it. For a small country, Bulgaria has a remarkably varied landscape. The 380 km long coastline caters for beach and water sport holidays; the mountains that cover half the country for skiing, hiking, and caving; the rivers for extreme adventures.

Bulgaria is one of the last homes in Europe for the brown bear and the wolf. Nesting storks can be seen on every other bell tower and telegraph pole.

The forests abound with wild fruit, mushrooms and all sorts of healing herbs. The country's 1600 hot springs are fast becoming an attraction.

The beauty of Bulgaria's weather is that it is easy to predict which makes it easy to plan a vacation.

The country enjoys four very distinct seasons. Summers are long and hot (around 25-30C), winters cold and snowy (around zero). Spring and autumn are spectacular seasons and the mild temperatures make them ideal for any kind of active break
