Bulgaria is an island of peace in the turbulent Balkans. It is a member of NATO and it is scheduled to join the EU in 2007.

The country has a fast growing tourist industry due to its beautiful countryside with picturesque mountains and sandy beaches. Some of the resorts are already well known to many visitors from the UK.



The Bulgarian people are traditionally hospitable and friendly to foreigners. English is widely spoken, especially in the capital Sofia and at the Black Sea and ski resorts.

Property prices are usually quoted in Euros as the national currency (the “Lev”) is pegged to the Euro. They are relatively low compared to any country in Central and Western Europe.
