How to get there

If you buy a tourist permit for the resorts of Bulgaria, then it already includes the cost of the road. Many companies offer a bus transfer. This is an inexpensive mode of transport, but it is very tiring - after all the way is not close. The train "Minsk - Bulgaria" (in fact, it follows to Varna) is more comfortable. But in this case it will be necessary to spend a little less than forty hours on the road. It is much more convenient to use air service. Regular flights from Minsk fly mainly to the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. But in summer in the resorts are sent numerous charters. And not only from Minsk. In Burgas you can get by taking off with the air carrier "Belavia" from Brest and Gomel. Winter tourists usually get a flight Moscow - Plovdiv. If you want to turn a long road into a fascinating journey, you can fly to Istanbul, and from there you can take a bus to the resorts of southern Bulgaria. Or use the high-speed ferry-catamaran Odessa-Varna.

Which resort to choose?

Winter tourists in Bulgaria are waiting for such ski resorts as Chepelare, Pamporovo, Borovets and Bansko. The level of service, of course, is not the same as in Courchevel or in Zermatt, but it does not cause any complaints. The trails are well-groomed, lifts operate. It is good to come to beginners in mountain skiing or families with children. The Black Sea coast of Bulgaria stretched exactly from north to south, from Romania to Turkey. Conventionally, the zone is divided into two parts along the Emine cape. In the northern (Albena, Balchik, Golden Sands), the temperature of the water and the sea is lower by 2 degrees. And these resorts are more expensive than those located in the southern part (Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Pomorie, Sozopol). But wherever you come from Minsk, rest in Bulgaria will please you with beautiful sandy beaches. They often have the Blue Flag, a sign awarded by the coast for ecology and cleanliness.
