Bulgaria is situated in an ideal place. Sharing borders with Turkey and Greece in the south. Macedonia and Serbia to the west and Rumania on the northern flank.
To the east is the jewel which is the Black Sea.
It is a wonderful country with beautiful locations.
From skiing to sun bathing, from mountain retreat to golden coast . From sleepy village to teeming metropolis. It's all there and you can have any of it at a price you will find quite agreeable.
Brief History
The Bulgarian state was founded in 681 AD as a union of Slavs Thracians and Proto-Bulgarians. Tsar Boris converted the state to Orthodox Christianity in 865.
The first Bulgarian State stretched from the Carpathians in the north to the Balkan range in the south but fell to the Byzantines in 1018.
The second state was founded in 1185 at Veliko Turnovo and a golden age began when borders were re-established and Bulgaria was bordered by three seas. The Black, The Adriatic and The Aegean.
From 1389 to 1878 the country was under the hated rule of the Ottoman Turks.
Sofia became the capital after the Veliko Turnovo constitution was accepted in 1879.
From 1878 to 1945 Bulgaria enjoyed some kind of freedom until the communist party led by Georgi Dimitrov took power and declared Bulgaria a People's Republic.
The rule was oppressive and lasted until 1989 when the then leader of the party Todor Zhikov was ousted from power (peacefully) and Bulgaria declared itself a Democratic Republic. Bulgaria, however is not Spain or Portugal.
It's position in South Eastern Europe gives rise to a continental climate though not of the intense type one might expect from climates of this type. It is essentially a moderate continental climate
There are four well defined seasons but there is no doubting the difference between them (unlike Britain) Winter is most definitely winter (unless you choose the Black Sea coast)but on the other hand summer is unmistakable also.
It is hot without being too hot and above all it is reliable. This is particularly true of the resorts in the east where the climate is noticeably warmer than inland and could best be described as Mediterranean in spring and summer. On the whole the climate can best be described as temperate.
Bulgaria is a wonderful country and it's potential for development is astounding but don't forget that it is a country which has suffered from neglect for years.
It's cities and some of it's towns and villages may not meet with western standards and in many ways it is stuck in a time which most of you will not recognise. Remember though, that it's a country which is aware of it's own short comings but also fully aware of it's assets and is looking to a brighter future. A future full of promise which you could witness first hand and take part in.
It's people are open and welcoming and there is a self assurance and style about the young which bodes very well for the future of this great place.
It is not a Eutopia but it is a country with so much potential and promise you could not go far wrong if you were to invest here.
