Bulgaria
It seems inexplicable that Bulgaria has, until recently, largely
been overlooked as a destination for the discerning traveller. The
list of reasons to visit offered by this exotic and beautiful
country on the western edge of the Black Sea is compelling. A
history spanning 2,500 years has bestowed a legacy of ancient
ruins, magnificent religious buildings and stunning art and
architecture upon the country. A warm and hospitable climate,
meanwhile, ensures that the emerging Black Sea coastal resorts can
boast beaches, attractions, activities and facilities that easily
hold their own with better-known European holiday destinations.
Bulgaria's interior landscapes are pristine and unspoilt; no
fewer than seven mountain ranges, surrounded by forests, meadows,
lakes and valleys offered unparalleled opportunities for outdoor
recreation, wildlife spotting and bird watching. Bulgaria's towns
and cities are as diverse and as captivating as its landscapes and
providing a wealth of attractions, activities and experiences sure
to delight every visitor, they are just as rewarding and enjoyable
to explore.
