The Bourgas Region in Bulgaria is a lovely place for a holiday that makes a welcome break from a trip to the Mediterranean. For those that have had it with Halkidiki, are fed up with Fuengirola or simply bored with Benidorm, bargain holidays to the Bourgas Region of Bulgaria provide the perfect solution.

This area lies along a fabulous southern stretch of Bulgaria's coast that enjoys long strips of beautiful golden sands, with dramatic cliffs jutting into the Black Sea. The traditional fishing villages here are lovely, and benefit from the same warm waters as the more cosmopolitan tourist resorts.

This destination is great for all, whether searching for peace and quiet or a fun-filled getaway; the colourful shops, charming towns, bustling markets and lively bars here make this a unique area. Obzor Beach is a wonderful place to unwind, whilst the whole of the Bourgas Region enjoys a fabulous sunshine-filled climate.

Cosmopolitan Sunny Beach lies further down the coast, and is Bulgaria's largest seaside resort. Guests can enjoy everything that they'd want from the Spanish Costas here, with cafes, restaurants, plenty of beach watersports and a lovely waterpark. As for the cuisine, holidaymakers can try Bulgarian favourites or stick to fast food and English fare.

Nessebar lies to the south, and provides a striking contrast from the more touristy Sunny Beach. The charming shops and narrow, cobblestone streets make this a fabulous place to explore. St Vlas lies to the north, and is a traditional fishing village with some wonderful restaurants in which to enjoy local, freshly caught fish and regional flavours.

Bulgaria is an enchanting place for a holiday, and those staying in the Borgas Region will want to return to this gorgeous getaway.
