The Coast

Most Brits visiting Bulgaria's Coast for the first time will, almost certainly, stay in Sunny Beach, Golden Sands, Pomorie or any one of the many new, purpose built resorts that now clutter the Black Sea shores.

Many will not venture far from their hotel. And that is much more than just a pity. For on their doorstep, and just a few minutes away, lies one of the world's richest cultures and - with prices that are the lowest in the whole of Europe - a world of contrast, charm and beauty. Undiscovered beaches, mountains, ancient forests, a highly hospitable people, gastronomic delights - and all at such crazy, bargain prices!
