What is rest? For everyone, this concept is different and carries certain expectations. For us, vacation is the sea, the sun, the beach, interesting places and the opportunity to get to know the country. This is not the first time we have been in Bulgaria and we love this country very much for its beauty, luxurious sea, gentle sun, delicious and varied cuisine and friendly attitude. But first things first.
I'll start by choosing a tour operator and the tour itself. Tired of everyday life, bustle and work, the lack of vacation over the past three years has made itself felt: the strength has dried up. We chose the tour for a short time, almost immediately we decided to stop in Bulgaria, Sunny Beach (especially the place is familiar and traveled far and wide).
A family of three: me, my husband and a child of 6 years old, the cost for 15 days / 14 nights on the basis of breakfast is 65.000 rubles + visas. Tour operator TUI. Flight a / c "Yamal". Hotel Azurro 3*. The course at the time of stay is 1 lev, approximately 40 rubles.
Immediately a small digression and a secret: in Bulgaria there is a period of flowering of the sea: the end of July-beginning of August. At this time, there are a lot of algae and swimming is unpleasant. This applies specifically to Sunny Beach. So we decided that we were going in June.
The hotel wanted to be away from the main walking street, so that you can relax and sleep. Therefore, we chose hotels closer to Nessebar. The choice fell on a small hotel of the middle category Azurro. Meals immediately decided to take only breakfast, because. in Bulgaria, excellent cuisine and affordable prices in any restaurant, and I didn’t really want to pay for standard European dishes at the hotel. So: the tour is bought, the suitcase is packed, the mood is excellent. Hooray!!! ! Vacation!!!
FLIGHT. Because I am a categorical aerobzdun, any flight for me is an unreal tragedy. We had already flown Yamal, so we knew in advance that their planes were cramped and were ready to spend three hours in a little discomfort. My height is 156 cm, my knees almost rested on the next chair, my husband's legs did not want to fit in any way? But, somehow fit and flew! The plane is quite new. I want to separately say HUGE thanks to the crew of flight 9363 Moscow-Bourgas and the commander of the airship: takeoff and landing went absolutely unnoticed. The pilot landed the plane so gently that we did not even realize that we had already landed. The crew of the flight are all responsive, smiling, real smarties. The flight back also went well, but the landing let us down: we were shocked along the runway at Domodedovo and the braking was quite sharp. But, this is more likely due to weather conditions: we flew to Moscow in the rain and only +15? In general, the impression is positive.
HOTEL. Azurro 3* is a very, very noisy hotel. It is located away from the central walking street, but surrounded by bars and restaurants. Under our balcony was the restaurant of the hotel Barbeque Azurro: live music starts at 20.00 and ends at 24.00. Accordingly, everything is perfectly audible in the room. It is impossible to sleep with a closed balcony, because. it's hot, the air conditioner hung right above the child's bed, so we didn't want to turn it on either, so we listened to beautiful songs from the bar every day? After 24.00 the restaurant continues its work already with low background music, they fell asleep under it. True, not for long: around 1-2 am people began to disperse and cheerfully yell songs in various languages of the world. I used to be okay with seagulls: bird and bird. But, after this vacation, I hate them!! ! Seagulls spent the night on the roof of the hotel in huge numbers, and at 5 am these bastards began to yell disgusting hours until 7 am. Believe me, these are the most disgusting sounds I have ever heard. In fact, we never managed to sleep. Noise isolation is bad. Neighbors can be heard perfectly. The hotel does not have an elevator. Be prepared to carry your suitcase on the handles. Separately, I want to say about the air conditioner: on our balcony there was (it was, on the floor) a fan from the air conditioner. Connected to our and neighboring room. In the next room, the air conditioning worked around the clock without breaks for lunch and sleep, so the fan blew constantly on us. You go out to sit on a chair on the balcony, and a fan blows in your side, and it’s also quite noisy. Nothing to say about food. She is none. The Barbegue Azurro restaurant is a very good restaurant with excellent waiters. Have a bite to eat or a hearty dinner if you don’t want to go somewhere far inexpensive and tasty. WI-FI only in the lobby. Safe again at the reception, the price is 6 lev / day = 240 rubles. It is better to take a safe and store valuables in it. I read a lot of reviews about theft, thank God, nothing happened. There was even a case with a cleaner: we came from the sea, there was a knock on the door. The maid comes in, takes a change out of her pocket and says: did you leave this for me or did you just forget to put it away? And then I remember that I put on shorts and poured coins out of my pocket onto the bed and safely forgot about them. This kind of honesty surprised me. Of course, I gave it to the maid, especially since she cleaned the conscience. Towels and bed linen…. Everything is grey, washed out and old. In general, Azurro is a good option for an economical holiday. I would recommend it for young people without children who are ready to hang out from morning to evening. The hotel is not suitable for families.
To the sea 5-7 minutes walking distance. You can walk in three ways to different beaches.
The first one is through a neighboring hotel: we leave the lobby, cross the road and go through the hotel located opposite Azurro. Second: exit through the lobby, turn left, go to the fork, go right at the fork and straight to the beach. Third: we exit through the Barbeque Azurro restaurant, turn left, go straight to the intersection and the Continental hotel, turn left and go straight to the beach. Sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach are paid sunbed 6 lev = 240 rubles, an umbrella 10 lev = 400 rubles. Therefore, the umbrella was bought independently for 20 lev = 800 rubles. Sea: shallow, clean, the waves were only 2 days, the rest of the time it was completely calm. There were no seaweeds. The sea is perfect! Bought from the heart?
Not far from the hotel there is a stop from which you can get to Nessebar, Ravda, Sozopol, etc. The fare is 1.8 lev = 72 rubles. You will have to pay for everyone: even for babies. There are no concessions or discounts on travel. To Nessebar 10-15 minutes. To Ravda 20-25 minutes. There are open double-decker buses. The fare is more expensive 3 leva per person, but is it very cool to go on the second floor?
Nessebar and Ravda are wonderful cities: very beautiful and stylish in a European way. Small streets, beautiful houses, incredible landscapes! I am delighted!! ! Lots and lots of Russians. We walked around both cities on foot, looked into all corners and realized that you need to go to Ravda or Nessebar to relax with your child!! ! Quiet, beautiful, magnificent sea, peace and tranquility! Prices in restaurants are lower than in Sunny Beach. Lunch for three in Nessebar in a restaurant on the seashore: grilled mackerel, garlic flatbread, a glass of wine, a glass of beer, chicken soup, fanta 1000 rubles. Dinner for three in Ravda: chicken soup (2 pcs), a tortilla with cheese, chop with potatoes (1 pc), a glass of beer, a sprite and a glass of wine = 880 rubles.
Be sure to visit the water park in Nessebar!! ! We were delighted!! ! Some useful tips at once: you need to go to the water park ONLY on a weekday. A ticket for the whole day costs 40 lev = 1600 rubles, for a child under 130 cm tall 20 lev = 800 rubles. You can safely take a subscription for half a day, BUT ONLY FOR THE FIRST!! ! After lunch, the people become much larger and there are queues for the slides. In the first half of the day there are no queues for the slides.
NOW ABOUT PRICES. The period of stay is from June 24 to July 8. Let me remind you of the course: 1 lev = 40 rubles. In each establishment you will be offered Bulgarian draft beer 0.5 l = 1 lev = 40 rubles. A glass of Bulgarian wine 2.5 leva = 100 rubles, margarita cocktail 6 lev = 240 rubles. Almost every restaurant has a happy hour that does not end, i. e. around the clock: you pay for 1 glass, you get 2: wine, non-alcoholic and alcoholic cocktails (moreover, cocktails are made to last, you can’t compare with Moscow). Milkshakes are the bomb!! ! A ball of ice cream weighing 50 grams 1 lev = 40 rubles.
A small digression: prices in restaurants in Bulgaria are almost the same everywhere: if the price is higher compared to another institution, then the portion will be larger. Everyone has long known about Bulgarian portions that one dish can be taken for two. So many!! ! And very tasty!!!
I highly recommend the Lansdowne restaurant (located close to the hotel): excellent cuisine, tasty and large portions, wonderful staff, wonderful live music, great prices. At prices: sach (national Bulgarian dish in a hot pan: potatoes, bell peppers, onions, different types of meat: chicken, veal, beef, pork with cheese, weight 700 grams) 18 lev = 720 rubles. Ate with the whole family, barely ate. Garlic cake, which will be cooked for you in the oven 2.50 leva = 100 rubles. Ovcharsky salad with cheese (weight 400 grams) 4.5 leva = 180 rubles. Grilled mackerel, weight 500 grams, price 13.50 lev = 540 rubles, served with french fries and vegetables. Tsipura, weight 400-500 grams, price 12.50=500 rubles, served with potatoes and vegetables. Burger 2.50 leva = 100 rubles, again with fries and vegetables. Meshana scara (different types of grilled meat: sausage, pork, cutlet, beef, chicken breast, kebab served with french fries and vegetables) 15 lev = 600 rubles. Kavarma (national dish: meat in a pot with vegetables, without potatoes) chicken kavarma 7 lev = 280 rubles, pork kavarma 12 lev = 480 rubles. Dinner for three cost 2.600 rubles: sprite, beer, kebapcheta with french fries and vegetables, vegetable salad, rakia, margarita cocktail (2 for the price of one), garlic tortilla, seafood paella, stuffed squid, a glass of wine.
The Bulgarians themselves told us an interesting fact: they believe that a "rich tourist" has a rest in July and August, so on July 1, prices in restaurants increase, and portions are reduced. Therefore, again I conclude that the best time to relax is June.
In general, Bulgaria is a wonderful, beautiful, hospitable country! For those who want to break away and party, there is no better place than Sunny Beach!! ! 24-hour restaurants, a bunch of bars, clubs, affordable prices - the perfect place for an unbridled breakaway!! ! For a family holiday, I would recommend Nessebar and Ravda. Have a great holiday and positive vibes!! !
