Приятный отдых Pleasant stay

To say that I liked my vacation in Bulgaria is just to keep silent! I LOVED IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!
But! Let's put emotions aside for a moment, and I'll tell you on the merits.
We rested in Sunny Beach (Sunny Beach), hotel "Tia Maria". 3 * hotel, I immediately warn you, for whom it is important, the hotel is located on the 3rd line, across the road, to the sea on foot for 10-15 minutes at a leisurely pace. For us, this was acceptable, because. we wanted to walk a lot.

The hotel itself is small and very, very cozy. It is located near the road, but not on the road itself, but a little to the side, although traffic noise is still audible (the windows were not closed at night, there was something with air conditioning, so also keep in mind who this is important for). In the hotel, as in other hotels in Bulgaria, in the lobby bar there is free Wi-Fi, safes for extra. a fee (as I understand it, it is customary in Bulgaria), a pool, umbrellas and sun loungers by the pool are free of charge. We took only breakfast, but the hotel offers breakfast and dinner. Food according to the "buffet" system. I don’t know what was served for dinner, but for breakfast there was a summer salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese), separately chopped beets, carrots, cabbage, corn grains, black olives, various sausages, sausages, boiled eggs, several types of omelettes, feta cheese, butter, jams, curdled milk, cereals, muesli, chocolate balls, toast, fruit, watermelon, tea, coffee, fruit juice. We were there for a week, the assortment never changed (I write for those who are especially picky, so that they don’t complain later : -)), but for us it didn’t matter, we didn’t come there to overeat, after all!
I won’t please anything about cleaning the room either, we didn’t follow the maids : -) In the morning, when we get up, we go straight to the beach. We return for dinner - everything has already been cleaned, the bed has been made, the curtains are drawn. Linen was changed, as I understand it, 1 time in 3 days (I also write for the especially capricious, but for us these are insignificant trifles). And by the way, there were no toiletries (soap, shampoo) either, but it doesn’t matter for us - we bought a wonderful shampoo with rose water. The only thing that surprised me a little was an iron for 2 leva (for reference, 1 euro - 2 leva) per hour. Well, figs, I took it, paid, quickly stroked everything (and in my own room) and took it to the reception. A very friendly girl Silvia worked there, she speaks a little Russian, and even better - English.
In general, we did not experience any problems with the language. Everywhere - in cafes, shops, souvenir shops, on buses, etc. , etc. - Everyone understands and speaks Russian, sometimes even very well. Sometimes I read in the reviews that, they say, the attitude towards Russian-speaking tourists is biased - I don’t know, I have never encountered it. We were all greeted kindly, as they say, "any whim for your money! " : -) Speaking of money. In Bulgaria, although they are in the European Union, levs still go, there are exchangers everywhere, but you need to be very, very careful. Our guide from the travel agency strongly advised us to change money in banks or CROWN exchangers, in others the exchange rate is usually very unfavorable. We were careful, and then once we made a mistake, just in the exchange office (quite official, legal, with checks), they changed the 100-euro coin very unprofitably. Well, God bless her....And of course, do not mess with street money changers, there are heaps of them walking there...
And the rest is just wonderful! The sea is warm-warm, the sand is soft-soft! Sun! Oh, you have to be very careful here! Be sure, on the very first day, at the very first hour, as you leave the hotel, smear yourself with a good sunscreen, otherwise you will burn to nothing, and the whole rest will be a waste! The sun is very deceptive there: it warms gently, gently, and then kaaaaak starts frying!!! ! So without cream and without a hat - God save you lean out in the sun.

The beach in Sunny Beach is municipal, there are paid and free zones. Paid - where there are umbrellas and sun loungers, 7 leva each. As you pay for an umbrella or deck chair, you will definitely get a check, everything is official. And further, behind the zone of umbrellas, a little further from the sea (10-15 meters) - a free zone, you can stay there absolutely calmly. Just be sure to buy your own umbrella (they are sold everywhere in the shops, as well as mats, creams, towels, various inflatable watercraft), don’t even think about settling in the open sun - burn out in 15 minutes !!!!
Entertainment - everyone finds himself. There are various water activities, you can also ride a velomobile, a small steam locomotive, a horse carriage, a moped. All kinds of extreme entertainment such as bungee, parachute, etc. They offer many excursions, near the ancient city of Nessebar (10 minutes by public transport, 1 lev one way), there is also something to see.
In general, you can and should have a rest in Bulgaria!!!!
Have a nice rest and a lot of impressions!!! !
