Nestled between Greece and Turkey, Bulgaria boasts sunny weather with temperatures typically ranging from the late twenties to mid-thirties Celsius. Additionally, vacationing in Bulgaria remains more budget-friendly compared to most other European destinations, with notably lower costs for dining and other expenses.
The Black Sea coast features a diverse array of resorts, easily accessible from the airport after a three-and-a-half-hour flight. Sunny Beach, Bulgaria’s largest resort, features an 8km-long beach curving around the bay. Close by, Nessebar, a UNESCO-protected ancient village, offers cobbled streets and historic gabled houses.
Other coastal gems include Sozopol, an authentic town; Pomorie with its impressive Wave Resort; and Duni, a purpose-built five-star resort. Beyond these, resorts like Golden Sands, St. Konstantin, and Albena add their unique allure.
This year, Balkan Holidays has two deals for a seven-night stay in Sunny Beach: a bed and breakfast package at a three-star hotel starting at £257 per person from June 2, and an all-inclusive package at a four-star hotel priced at £497 per person starting June 9. Both deals include a 22kg luggage allowance and airport transfers.
EMA’s Commercial Director Chris Lane said: “People have been enjoying flying to Bulgaria from East Midlands Airport with Balkan Holidays for many years, but for some it may not be a destination they have considered. With many hotels built or modernised in the last few years, a range of different resorts to choose from, warm sun and low cost flights and prices for holiday expenses, Bulgaria has a lot going for it for our customers.”
Chris Rand of Balkan Holidays said: “We are the leading specialist tour operator to Bulgaria with a long history of flying from East Midlands Airport and a wide choice of hotels and apartments from great value two star hotels to luxury four and five star all-inclusive hotels, all perfect for a family holiday. Combine all this with the low cost of living in Bulgaria and you have the perfect beach holiday destination.”
