Guide to the Black Sea Coast

Introduction

Since the fall of communism, Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast has become a holiday destination favoured by visitors from all over Europe. Inevitably, second home buyers and investors have been flocking to buy property there in the last few years, enticed by low (but rising) prices and improving infrastructure and amenities.

The region

The Black Sea coast offers everything from bustling, family-orientated resorts to smaller, quieter places that appeal to the more mature visitor. It boasts numerous protected areas, nature reserves and Blue Flag beaches, with clear, tide-free waters that are perfect for swimmers and divers. As well as yachting, surfing, waterskiing, underwater fishing and other water-based activities, visitors can enjoy hiking, spa treatments and exploring the area’s rich history.

Before Bulgaria entered the EU in January 2007, its government spent large sums on improvements to roads and infrastructure. The Black Sea coast is currently a focus for public and private sector investment, including a well-publicised construction boom.

Climate

The coast avoids the bitterly cold winters of inland Bulgaria. In summer, the average temperature is a pleasant 26 degrees Celsius, with a sea breeze.

Getting there

Both Bourgas and Varna have international airports. Until recently, charter services were the only option for those travelling direct from the UK, but BA launched flights to Varna from Gatwick in 2006, and no-frills operators are also entering the market.
