Why Bulgaria
by: Jolis Elitlib
Because no other European country offers better
value for your money!
Located in South Eastern Europe, Bulgaria is
bordered by Greece and Turkey to the South, Romania to the North and
Macedonia and Serbia to the West. Its Eastern Border is formed by
the beautiful Black Sea Coast. A country of outstanding natural
beauty the environment remains unspoilt and is incredibly varied. A
relatively small country, a few hours drive will take you from the
snow covered central Pirin mountain Ranges to the long sandy beaches
of the Black Sea coast.
Forming the heart of several of ancient histories
greatest civilizations Bulgaria's rich culture is reflected in a
vast number of architectural treasures. Only Greece and Italy have a
greater number of historical monuments. Throughout the country you
will find ancient Greek sites, Roman amphitheatres and Byzantine
churches. The country is home to 160 monasteries, 36 cultural
centres and 40,000 listed archaeological monuments. Seven sites have
achieved a coveted place on the UNESCO world heritage list.
What is the cost of living in Bulgaria?
Bulgaria is said to have one of the lowest costs
of living in Europe. A wonderful meal for 2 including wine will
rarely exceed around £7.00 GBP. The cost of a 10 minute journey in a
taxi will only be about £1.00 GBP. Cigarettes cost just 40p per
packet and a day out in a museum or the theatre will cost just a
couple of pounds. A quality beer will cost 25p!
Quality of life
First time visitors to Bulgaria are surprised by
its diversity and its stunning natural beauty. For years a real
effort has been made to preserve the country's rich and unspoilt
flora and fauna. As a result, Bulgaria is ecologically one of the
purest countries in Europe, with exceptionally clear air and water
resources. There are 7 national parks, more than 3000 protected
natural sites and 17 bio-spherical reserves (the greatest recorded
number in Europe). There are also 419 protected animal species and
63 protected types of plant.
Not only is the quality of life in Bulgaria good,
but the cost of living is one of the lowest in Europe. A meal for
two, made from locally grown and organically pure products and
including a bottle of nice wine will rarely cost you more than six
or so pounds. A quality beer will cost 40 pence!
The Black Sea Coast of Bulgaria (Map)
The 380 kilometres of beaches are amongst some of
Europe's cleanest and safest. Many of them have been awarded
prestigious “Blue Flag” status. The region enjoys average summer
temperatures of between 25-30 degrees. The season extends from April
to October. Coupled with the renowned low cost of living it is easy
to see why the Black Sea coast provides and an ideal summer
destination – and is surprisingly easy to access from an ever
increasing number of European Airports.
Even though the Black Sea coast is an established
tourist area, with resorts such as Sunny Beach attracting tourists
since the late 1950's, it has recently become one of the fastest
growing summer tourist destinations in Europe. So fast growing in
fact that last year demands for tourist beds outstripped supply by
20%!
Bulgaria is said to be the fastest growing
holiday destination for 2004 and at least 200,000 Britons were
likely to visit the summer resorts this year - nearly double last
year's total. Next year three new major UK tour operators will also
be offering summer holidays in Bulgaria.

British owned and managed, the company was
incorporated by in the mid 90”s to prepare for the very significant
opportunities that would occur in the Bulgarian real estate market
as the country emerged from the communist era. As Bulgaria begins to
grow and develop economically - and at the same time stabilize
itself politically, the Company believed the time was right to
commence operations in the area and in early 2004 began to work
towards the opening of its main commercial centre in Burgas, the
bustling City port that sits at the heart of the Black Sea Coast. to
