Болгария Bulgaria

We went from 15.06. 2012 to Sozopol, hotel Fiord. The carrier "Alf" bought a ticket in Hot Tours, which we regret. Upon receipt of the voucher and tickets, they asked twice at Hot Tours who would meet us. They said that representatives with a sign "Alf" will meet, do not worry, everything will be ok. Upon arrival in Burgas, our luggage was lost. Thanks to our wonderful Borispol, our suitcase flew safely to Bodrum, in addition to this trouble, no one met us at the exit from the airport. Moreover, no one knew what or who "Alf" was. I had to call directly to Kyiv at the central office of "Alf" where we were told that we should be met not by "Alf" but by "Starfish". And then the question arose for me, for what did I actually pay the money to "Hot Tours"? certainly not for running around the airport and looking for your transfer. We found the guys from Starfish quickly, we must give them their due, they helped us a lot with the search for the missing luggage and took us to the Fiord hotel. We arrived at the hotel, we bought a room of category “B”, but the owners, after listening to our whole story with a meeting at the airport and luggage, gave us the largest room of category “A”. Todor and Ivanka are very nice and intelligent people who did everything for us to make our vacation memorable. The room is very large and clean with a sea view. There is a mini bar. The prices are quite normal, you can use it without thinking that three skins will be torn off, as happens in other hotels. The safe is paid, we paid 5 lev per day. Cleaned every day, very clean. The bed was changed every 3 days. The bed is perfect! not a single speck and perfectly white. The same applies to towels, they were changed every day. Breakfasts are served on the ground floor, where the reception and the adjacent summer terrace are located. Very nice to have breakfast and look at the sea. For breakfast they served: all kinds of muesli, 5-6 types of cold cuts, 5-6 types of cheese, vegetables (which was a pleasant surprise, already in June the tomatoes were the same as we had in September, very ripe and fragrant, however, like watermelons) on hot sausages, eggs prepared every day in different ways, pasta, toast, butter, jams, honey, fruits, various pastries, tea, coffee, milk, juices. We ate very well. Walk 2 minutes to the beach. The beach is quite clean, you can sunbathe under an umbrella, on a sunbed, for 6 lev each pleasure, or for a number of umbrellas for free. The sea is very clean, though there was a rather strong storm for a couple of days, after lunch they didn’t let the sea go deeper than knee-deep, some algae washed in, but in the morning the sea was again clean and transparent. As for cafes and restaurants, the prices are quite low, we like to go to restaurants, so we ate in different places, the prices do not differ much. On average, for two adults, eating “from the belly” and drinking costs 25-30 lev (they are up to 150 UAH). The maximum we sat was 40 lev, which by Kiev standards is just laughter. The kitchen is not for everyone, everything is pretty good, but spices are already boring for 3-4 days, salads are not seasoned, they bring: salt, pepper, vegetable oil or olive oil. Everything in restaurants is fresh and prepared very quickly. I was glad that even though they ate twice a day in different cafes, they never got poisoned, which is outlandish for the Crimea, for example. Sozopol is a beautiful quiet town, people are very friendly and kind. In the evenings we went for a walk both in the new part of the city and in the old one. We also spent time in the bar at the hotel, because at that time the Euro 2012 matches were broadcast, we came to the bar and watched the broadcast on the big screen, and also ordered drinks at the hotel bar. The prices are very democratic, for example, a majito or a gin and tonic costs about 7 lev, 35 UAH, and the form of serving is just super! In general, I highly recommend Sozopol and the Fiord Hotel to anyone who wants a comfortable and relaxing holiday.
