Bulgaria is a land for all seasons – endless, sandy beaches, wild mountain ranges, lush green hills, fertile plains, magnificent gorges and health spas.
Let Bulgaria awaken all your senses – the taste of good food and drink, the smell of roses and wild flowers wafting across summer meadows, the warming glow of open fires in cosy winter log cabins, the sound of cascading waterfalls and waves on the shore.
Bulgaria is located on the Balkan Peninsula surrounded by the Black Sea to the East, Romania to the North, Serbia and Macedonia to the West, and Greece and Turkey to the South.
Its total area is 110,910 sq km, with 1,808 km of land boundaries, and 354 km of coastline. The terrain is comprised of mountains, with lowlands in the north and southeast.
There is plenty to see within Bulgaria like the beautiful wooded mountain ranges, including the ski resorts Borovets in the Rila Mountain and Pamporovo in the Rhodopes; the Black Sea coast and its modern resorts, and countless villages and monasteries, all over the country.
Bulgaria is rich in mineral wells and spas. Very little, if anything, is known outside the country of the healing effects of its baths. Bulgaria is blessed with more than 500 mineral water wells and sources, both hot and cold. Mineral water is usually drinkable and is therefore indispensable in the production of soft drinks.
Bulgaria has a Continental-Mediterranean climate with four clearly-defined seasons; summers are long and dry and winters are mild. Average winter temperature is 3˚C. Normal summer temperatures are 25˚to 35˚C.
