Bulgaria, Golden Sands. Feedback and impressions

Golden Sands - this is the name of the local famous for the whole world resort. This is Bulgaria, Golden Sands. Reviews about this place are needed for those who have never been there, did not see this gentle sea and pure yellow sand.

A bit of nostalgia

The popularity of holiday in Bulgaria for our compatriots has undergone its peak in the 70-80s of the last century. There are many explanations for this. Firstly, it was affordable and inexpensive, and the country was not a stranger (it was then jokingly called the 16th republic of the USSR), and at the same time abroad! Secondly, a unique mild climate and clean sea, so clean that it was not even believed that here, in Varna, the same Black Sea as in our Krasnodar region. So the pink dream of each holidaymaker was Bulgaria, Golden Sands. Reviews of the lucky ones who come back from there with an even golden tan after two or three weeks of rest (and trips to this country were often given for such a period!), Heated interest even more. We must admit that the service of those times left much to be desired, simply against the background of its complete absence we had nothing to compare with.

New Reality

Today this is another Bulgaria, Golden Sands (photo). Hotels in a highly competitive environment offer a European level of service. After all, now rest in any resort of the world is not considered a problem, there would be money, as they say, and for a place under the sun this beautiful corner of the seaside land has to be wrestled. Bulgaria is still among the poor countries, and this is another reason for making your resort better. But there is no doubt now that one of the most affordable resorts is Bulgaria, Golden Sands. Reviews literally a few years ago noted the outflow of tourists in connection with the above-mentioned availability of other world resorts. But today the situation has changed dramatically. Hotels in the season are filled almost completely.

What attracts tourists?

The first is the same "golden" sand, surprisingly soft and yellow. The beach is kept in perfect purity. Several times a day, at a time when there are not many people near the sea, a special machine appears here, sifting and leveling the sand. The entrance to the sea is gentle, sandy, which is very popular with tourists with children. It's about the sea. Hotels in this resort are mostly located on the first line, so that under the balcony day and night the sea surf (romance!) Rustles. What else is good for us in Bulgaria, Golden Sands? Reviews always mention two important factors: the almost complete absence of a language barrier - the Slavs! - and the kitchen. It is unique among the Bulgarians, because it combines two traditions - purely Slavic and Turkish (still the centuries-old Turkish yoke has not been in vain). So quite familiar dishes can surprise with sharpness, piquant seasonings - seasonings and sauces at this people in special honor. In short, the food in Bulgaria is very tasty and, incidentally, nourishing: they have large portions, not that in Europe. Let someone say that it does not matter!

Bulgaria, Golden Sands: attractions

But in fact a person goes abroad not only to take a dip in the sea and eat deliciously. He must see something new. A little bit about what you need to see in Bulgaria. By the way, the very territory of Golden Sands is already a tourist attraction - it is an official nature reserve. Sometimes, to the surprise of tourists, somewhere from the mountains appears a monk in black cassock, revealing himself and dipping into the sea with pleasure. No wonder: there is a unique medieval rock monastery "Aladzha" nearby. In ten minutes drive is the famous "Chiflika" - the center of ethnography, where one can get acquainted with all the folk traditions of the Bulgarians. And more: do not give up excursions, especially if they include evening performances and entertainments, for example, tasting Bulgarian wines, frying bacon on a fire, and then walking barefoot on hot coals (of course, not tourists, but specially trained people). By the way, about the entertainment around the coast took care very well: in the territory of each hotel there is animation, discos, and at sea - a full range of services, including diving, jet ski, parachute jump, fishing and much more. In a word, it would rather be summer, it would be Bulgaria!
