Отличный отдых Great stay

Hello, everyone who wants to relax in Bulgaria. I decided to write because I myself could not find a single sensible review. We live in the small town of Kranevo. There is nothing for young people to do here: there are a couple of nightclubs in everything, but Albena is very close - 5 km. Taxi 0.5 - 1 lev during the day and 1 - 1.5 lev at night + 1.5 lev landing. Taxi must have a meter. Any taxi driver will take you to a place where you can have fun. And living in Kranevo is cheaper than in popular resorts. Kranevo is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The sea is not very deep and lifeguards are on duty on the beaches, who do not really allow you to swim. I even tried to argue and explain that I can swim and my children can, and he smiles and whistles. By the way, about free beaches - this is an exaggeration. A photo of the beaches of Kranevo with rows of umbrellas - these are just paid beaches. An umbrella costs 5 levs, and a sunbed 3 levs. There are also free parts of the beaches. There are quite a lot of people on them, but since the beach itself is very wide, everyone fits. I advise you to go in the direction of Albena - there are fewer children's camps and calmer. In an eatery near the border with Albena, prices are more expensive than in a restaurant. We took beer with us, mostly on principle.
A few words about the hotel. We are resting at the Izvora hotel. According to my observations, this is the coolest hotel in Kranevo. Firstly, it is very cozy, a stone's throw from the main street and 300m from the sea. The photos of the hotel posted on the sites are true. A very cozy courtyard, everything is stylized in the Bulgarian style, the rooms have good furniture, a TV, a refrigerator. Separately, it should be noted the cooling of the rooms. There is not a split system here, from which it blows and you can’t turn it on at night, but centralized cooling. The control unit in each room separately (we have apartments - 2 rooms). The water is always hot, cleaning every day, towels and bed linen are changed every 3 days. The staff is polite and friendly. We took only breakfast - fed normally. Izvor has a wonderful restaurant with super Bulgarian cuisine. The portions here are huge - so don’t take it for everyone, grams are written everywhere, you can calculate it.
For prices: 1 euro = 2 leva approximately.

Beer - 1.20 - 2.5 leva per 0.5 liter. We liked Kamenitsa the most
Rakia (emphasis on "and") - about 7.0-15.0 lev per 0.5l. Grozdev (grape) is tastier.
Vintage dry wine – 6 lev. Bear's blood (Mecha krav), light young dry wine - 1.6-2.0 leva.
Cigarettes 4.5-5.5 leva.
A large piece of pizza (husband ate enough) 1.5 - 2.0 leva.
Sour milk (approximately our kefir only tastes better) 400 gr - 0.9 - 1.50 leva
Coffee from the machine - 0.6 lev
Fruit prices are cheaper than in Ukraine, compared with Donetsk.
In a cafe opposite Izvora, called "Little Bamboo", it's cheaper to eat than in Izvora, but it's also very tasty. For example, we took the first 2 adults, the first 2 children, a salad, a portion of the second course and 2 beers of 0.5 liters each. For all this they paid about 23 leva. Everyone ate. Dine in the Izvora restaurant will cost 30% more, but be sure to go to them - you will not regret it. Be sure to try the Bulgarian cold soup Tarator, which is somewhat reminiscent of our okroshka. In "Little Bamboo" Tarator is awesome. There is also a salad similar to Tarator, only it has pickles instead of fresh ones - this is a purely Bulgarian invention.
Opposite Izvora there is a shop that says Phone. Here you can call and most importantly you are taken on excursions cheaper than in a travel agency. Do not waste money on organized excursions - the guide, to whom we settled down in the museum in Varna, tired us after 10 minutes.
Down from the TOPmarket, below the Mehana restaurant, there is an unlimited trampoline for 4 leva (this is to make life easier for parents).
You won't have language problems. Almost everyone speaks Russian at least a little. For all the time I met 2 people who did not understand me. For these cases, there is a standard set of phrases: "kolko struva" - how much it costs, "bira" - beer, cafe (emphasis on "e") s mlyako - coffee with milk. The numbers are clear.
