Flight, Hotel & Package Holiday Bargains in Bulgaria

Getting there and getting around

Bulgaria Holidays are rapidly on the increase due to the cheap cost of living over there. Bulgaria flights are also an expanding market. When travelling to Bulgaria, passengers have one of two airports they can fly into depending on which resort you are visiting. In the South is Bourgas Airport, passengers who fly into here tend to be visiting resorts such as Sunny Beach and Elenite, while in the north of Bulgaria, Varna Airport is more commonly used by passengers travelling to Golden Sands. Both airports offer all the necessary facilities one would expect. Trains are the most common method of transport for travel within Bulgaria and are very inexpensive. However the timetables are worked around the working day, therefore early morning and early evenings are when they are running most frequently and they only run once or twice during the day and very rarely on a Sunday. Bulgaria drives on the right hand side of the road, therefore hiring a car is recommended only for those confident in their ability, particularly given the quality of some of the minor roads. However, driving not only gives you the opportunity to discover some of the beautiful wilderness areas of Bulgaria, it also allows you to have free reign on your holiday. Car hire companies sit at both airports and offer very good value for money.
