The Black Sea coast of Bulgaria.

If you're looking for a great-value Mediterranean style holiday on perfect golden sand beaches with beautiful, clear seas and a sunny, seasonable climate from May through October, consider the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria.

The popularity of the Bulgarian coast and sea resorts has seen a robust growth in recent years, following the fall of communism and the opening of borders to foreign tourists. The tourism industry has grown into one of the main drivers of the national economy with double-digit growth rates of the number of tourists each and every year. Bulgaria offers a budget alternative to more expensive European resorts, while quality of service does not fall behind Western European standards in high-class resorts such as Albena, Golden Sands, Sunny Beach, Duni or the local Riviera holiday club. White and tender sands and warm waters from June to September go together with a marvelous nature and hundreds of places of interest along the coast, ranging from old pagan sanctuaries to remains of ancient Roman and Greek civilisations, and authentic cultural and historical monuments of the Bulgarian state.
