Bulgaria
Situated in Southeastern Europe, Bulgaria occupies the northeastern part of the Balkan Peninsula.
Sofia is the capital and largest city. One of the oldest capital cities in Europe, the history of Sofia dates back to the 8th century BC.
In the northern-hemisphere winter, Samokov, Borovets, Bansko and Pamporovo become well-attended ski-resorts.
Summer resorts exist on the Black Sea at Sozopol, Nessebur, Golden Sands, Sunny Beach, Sveti Vlas, Albena, Saints Constantine and Helena and others.
Spa resorts such as Bankya, Hisarya, Sandanski, Velingrad, Varshets and others attract visitors throughout the year.
Bulgaria is becoming an attractive destination because of the quality of the resorts and prices below those found in Western Europe.
