Family Holiday in Bulgaria
I stayed in the bustling resort of Sunny Beach. Let me tell you some more....
Sunny Beach is the largest resort in Bulgaria with the longest and widest beach. The resort is good for children with plenty of family restaurants and loads of fun areas all along the strip. There are several mini golf courses throughout the resort. There are mini trains to take you around and horse and carriages for the old romantics. There is also surfing, water skiing, hang-gliding, paddleboats, scooters, rowboats, tennis courts, and beach volleyball. There were endless shops where we could spend our days haggling with the locals, not that anything costs much anyway. The night life with disco bars etc is really good and local drinks are quite cheap. What I liked most about it was that it was all in one area at the top of the strip which was away from a lot of the family hotels and apartments. We could walk there in a few minutes, but you will be sure to get a better nights sleep if you stay further down the strip.
Things we did:
I would definitely recommend the jeep safari. It's great fun for all the family.
We visited the neighbouring resort of Nessebar. It is a more typical Bulgarian type village, with loads of shops selling everything from sports wear to jewellery and trinkets. There are loads of lovely restaurants. The boat is a little more expensive than a taxi, but you could get the boat over and a taxi back.
Scuba diving is quite good and the water is usually very clear with plenty of marine life to see including sea horses - very cute!!
We found there are a number of different boat trips and you can also visit the Turkish city of Istanbul.
I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday here and it is definitely perfect for a family break. If you are planning a trip to Bulgaria give me a call and I can give you some more useful tips.
