Suggestions for a short break?

Has anyone got a suggestion for an area for a short break on the coast? Somewhere that is quiet and polar opposite to Sunny Beach? Would like to do a short break with the dog before summer arrives. Thanks. Read More

@janemulberryI searched for a local FB group but I couldn’t find anything at all for the north east. Might have to search in Bulgarian and see if I get better luck. Our village certainly doesn’t seem at all like the others I read about. ... Read More

@Zooldrool Thanks. I was also hoping to find local events that I see on YouTube. In Plovdiv every Sunday in the park they dance as an example but I have no idea how to find them even with Google and far too far away.My village has nothing as I ... Read More

Off topic - whats on your mind? by SimCityAT

As with a lot of Forums, there are dedicated posts in which members can talk about anything. They generally are for just chit-chat and as the Bulgaria Forum has a high volume of participants it's about time it had its own. You still have to abide by ...

Jean

Well I have come to the conclusion that it does seem pointless voting in any election these days when whatever the people choose then the other parties collaborate against it.If Radev wins which is looking most likely so far then Borissov has said ... Read More

Current flights to UK? by jeanmandredeix

My husband has to go back to UK to collect his Visa (a very annoying point) and apart from Sofia am I doing something wrong as I can find no direct flights. Luton or Stansted would be best. Varna would have been better as it’s 5.5hrs drive to ...

Jean

Thanks so much. Stansted one is ideal as his brother can pick him up so it’s booked now. Google isn’t always your friend 😂😂 Here was much better. Read More

Changing company account to Euros by Jules999

Is it true that now we are in the Euro currency, any company accounts ( even non trading ) must be changed & registered as a Euro currency account? There seems to be some confusion within my circle of friends.

Jean

@Jules999Yes. We are about to get it done. The price varies, we are paying €120 but I saw on a FB group that a real estate company wants €200. Read More

@james1992maini hope it works out for you too. I have not found even the retirement visa an easy process and it’s a lot more costly than I estimated. The costs of trains to London (from N Wales) were horrendous and there are the costs of ... Read More
