Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong sun. Try the local cuisine, such as banitsa (a pastry filled with cheese) and shopska salad (a refreshing salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese). Bargaining is common in markets and souvenir shops, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Learn a few basic phrases in Bulgarian, as locals appreciate when visitors make an effort to speak their language. Be cautious of pickpockets, especially in crowded tourist areas. Take a day trip to nearby attractions like Varna or the Aladzha Monastery for a break from the beach.
