Golden Sands Bulgaria Prices. Shopping in Bulgaria: Markets and shopping centers Shopping in Burgas, Bulgaria

A few days ago, I flew with my daughter from the resort "Golden Sands" (Bulgaria), rested at the Perla Hotel (Pearl) 3 * 8 days, was enough.

The main advantage of the resort "Golden Sands" is the sea, it is very affectionate, clean, warm, weakly salty, on certain days of azure color, no worse than Mediterranean !!!

Many seashells were made, including Rapanov.

Once they committed a promenade at the night resort and no longer wanted.

Very many Germans, mostly very older, heard the Ukrainian, Finnish, Bulgarian, Polish and even French speech. Youth is also not enough. Our Russians are most, so it seemed to us. Bulgarians, those who are older, easily speak Russian, the youth is expressing hard, do not know English.

A daughter refused to go to the disco, even though the guide and gave us 2 free invitation cards, including with a free cocktail.

In the cafe, too, did not go, I had a desire, and my daughter was not divided ((((

The cafe is for every taste - and bars, and restaurants with local and Italian cuisine, and even with your own Eiffel tower, which is overflowing with different patterns at night!

I think that for children the resort "Golden Sands" - a great place to stay, it is a pity that the free zone by the sea is very narrow, and the cost of a sun bed under an umbrella for 1 person - 19 Levs, is expensive.

On the beach there is a lot of midges that resemble ants and little spiders. Initially, they did not strain us (weightless and almost never felt), but constantly sit on the body. By the end of the rest, my daughter had already begun nervous - very afraid of insects. But I'm fine.

We had a rain for a couple of days, but the mood did not spoil. We just burned down and gladly walked through the streets.

In supermarkets, we bought strawberries, cherry, nectarines, apricots (on average the price per kg \u003d 5 lefts or 2.5 euros, so it's not so cheap, but tasty). The daughter wanted watermelon, I did not try, but after the watermelon, it was still sick after the watermelon, so nitrates are clearly present ...

I tried the local, Bulgarian ice cream, the glaze is clearly out of palm oil, no longer bought.

Beer Bulgarian delicious, light, costs 1-70 les (in the store).

Water is non-carbonated tasteless, which is drinking, which is not, however, like wine.

White wine "Varna" I was "whipped" me, even though I drank just a cup, a bottle of 0.7 liters costs 5 les (in the store), the taste is uninteresting. I purchased home "Malibu", the price for 0.7 liters is 21 lion, but in some places they saw for 28 leftions.

Bucked with the daughter a whole arsenal of Bulgarian cosmetics (it is better to buy in the supermarket, as cheaper than in tents located on every corner), I remember that from Soviet times, the Bulgarian cosmetics is very valued because of the naturalness!

Of things to buy absolutely nothing, everywhere Chinese spill consumer industry. Souvenirs are better to buy in supermarkets (cheaper there), but the choice is less, and in the "Duty Free" sell the same souvenirs 2 times more expensive (((

I wanted to buy a ceramic plate (5 leftions) as a souvenir, but my daughter did not like the colors, so I took a pot in the supermarket with a pink elixir and a wooden spoon with the inscription "Bulgaria".

Prices for vouchers to the resort Golden Sands

The junction on the Bulgarian Resort Golden Sands can be purchased from 9,000 rubles per person for 7 nights. The ticket includes tickets to and back, transfer to hotel and back to the airport, hotel accommodation in a single room, breakfasts and medical insurance. I purchased such a ticket this year, I found it not the day before departure, but for three weeks, so you cannot call it a burning tour.

In this case, for the purchase of a ticket, I used the booking service tours. I not only advertise this resource, but I recommend it to everyone: organized tourists, unorganized (independent) travelers. You can not only find advantageous offers on tours, but also save on airline tickets. For example, last year, I bought a tour in, although I had to be in (alone Burgas airport), but the ticket in one side cost about 14 thousand rubles, and I had about 8 thousand for four days, so I used a ticket only As a ticket in one direction, I already bought a return ticket in three weeks throughout the famous Aviasales.

Prices for food on golden sands

In Bulgaria, the hungry will not remain. For Russians, of course, after 2014, Bulgaria became more expensive, the cost of products in the shops of Bulgaria and Russia was almost equal, due to the change in the ruble exchange rate to the euro (the Bulgarian currency rate of BGN for about 10 years does not change significantly - 1 € \u003d 1.90-1 , 97 BGN).

Prices on the beaches of the resort

The beaches of the Spa Golden Sands are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay in inventory - sun beds, sunscreen umbrellas, locker rooms, shower, etc. Entrance to all beaches are free, however there are paid and free zones. In paid zones, it is forbidden to use our own umbrellas that can be bought for 20 lion in any shop. The cost of the umbrella and the lounger of 10 lion, the mattress for sun bed 3 lev.

Prices for excursions from golden sands

At the resort of historical attractions almost no. Very near, within two kilometers, with golden sands in forest thickets of the natural park there is a medieval rock monastery of Aladja.

Local travel agencies offer excursions both within the republic and in neighboring states. Depending on the desires, interests and budget, each tourist will certainly be able to choose the route suitable for its requests.

As a rule: children up to 3 years old, up to 12 years old 50% discount. Exchange rate 1EVRO \u003d 1.90-1.94 lion. Prices for tour operators on excursions are higher than that of local (Bulgarian) travel agencies that are on golden sands at every step.

Car rental prices

From golden sands to historical attractions or just interesting places can be reached only with transfers or by purchasing a tour: Stone Forest, Kamchiya Nature Reserve, Cape Kaliakra, Nesseberator, Sozopol Momin-Skok Waterfall and much more. Take a car for hire in some cases will be cheaper and more convenient. The cost of renting a car in the resort on average from 30 euros per day in high season than the rental period more about the price is less, but book the car must be in advance. To search for a car, it is worth contacting one of the well-proven machine booking services or compare the cost and conditions of car rental at once on three services and choose the best booking conditions:

• TOP RENT A CAR - the largest National Bulgarian car rental company;
• - International car rental company worldwide;
• mYRENTACAR - cooperates with local rolling companies in Bulgaria, Georgia, Montenegro and other countries.

If you decide to rent a car, then note that in Bulgaria the road is not the best. The road from the resort is Golden Sands to Varna with many turns, lifting and descents. In addition, there are sites where the road from the roadside collapsed, but no warning road signs may not be, so on the road to be attentive just necessary for both drivers and pedestrians.

Rent a car at the resort of Golden Sands at the best prices:

Shopping lovers should be taken into account that car rental can do them much cheaper than participation in excursions on shopping centers of Bulgarian cities, first of all . If travelers have a desire to commit Excursion in the country, visit immediately in several places removed from each other, renting a car - the most economical and convenient option.

Given that the resort of Golden Sands is considered privileged in Bulgaria, we failed to meet a large grocery market. Perhaps because it simply does not need to, according to local entrepreneurs, because many people go to toecute, and not fruits eat. In addition, the large market in principle there is no place to stay. After all, the territory of this resort is a burning area with dense vegetation. And then a small space, which is allotted by forests and mountains, occupy hotels and roads.

Where can I buy fruits and vegetables in the spa Golden Sands?

1) Fresh fruits can be bought in any roadside store. As I wrote in the section Shopping Bulgaria, here are the most basic fruit species, in small quantities. Sometimes watermelons, melons, apples and other large fruits and berries lay on a mini counter next to the store near the entrance. Personally, we have not bought bananas, apples and oranges. It seems that everything was imported and did not differ anything from those in Moscow. Yes, and prices are almost the same, but at least exactly not cheaper.

2) Separate trays with fruit Also abound. Next to us, near the ruins themselves from the landslide, all the time was one small collapse with vegetables and fruits. And even at the later time there was a fat man in the chair, and could easily weigh the kilo potatoes, without asking extra questions. In addition to the most common fruits there were all the necessary vegetables for cooking: potatoes, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and so on. Unfortunately, a lot of what is imported, except for figs, which is growing great. Approximate prices for fruits and vegetables in levs: melons 2.8, apples 1, peaches 3, tomatoes 2.7, cucumbers 1.5, cherry 3, cabbage 0.8. Nuts are different from 15 to 22 lev per kg, seeds from 3 to 6 lev, olives are different for also from 3 to 6 lev per kilogram.

Below several photos of trays

3) would separately allocate private traders who sell their crop At the wicket. You can not rarely meet the open wicket, there are a couple of boxes next to it, in which fresh figs, pears, apples, and other fruits and vegetables. And all this fresh, grown behind the same fence, well-groomed with his own hands, warmed by the Bulgarian Sun. Not far from our hotel, grandfather with a grandpa, who spoke well in Russian was traded from one such house. I could not resist, photographed her fence, house and kindergarten.

In the photo a private house, which was next to our hotel.

4) Near beach stools. No matter how funny it sounds, it looks like that. On the way to the beach, there is a kind of stool on the path, there is a small tray with cups of berries (blackberry, raspberry). Than these "sales points" are noteworthy, this is the attitude of their sellers to their product, I have not yet met this. He in the literal sense of the word takes each berry and lays out a cup. It turns out the berry to the berry, one more beautiful than one, not a single bumping. And let the price of kg come out more expensive, but who needs a kilogram of raspberries, but the cup is very nice to be very nice.

P.S. I will not speak about prices, they depend on seasonality, whether fruit grow in the country, sellers themselves, currency courses and other factors.

Bulgaria is called a rose country. Therefore, traditional souvenir is the products based on rose oil and water.

In stores and supermarkets of golden sands, perfumes, creams, gels, shampoos, tonic based on rose oil and water are presented to the choice. You can even buy jam and honey from rose petals. The gems of precious rose oil give soap, a cream for hands, tonic, shampoo, a shower gela, spirit-resistant pink fragrances. I listed what we bought in the souvenir shop for souvenrow stotings - at a price of 1 lev to 5 leftions. We acquired perfumes from manufacturers from Central Bulgaria, where there is a rose valley: Kazanlyk, Karlovo, Plovdiv.

Tourists have gripping due to the attractiveness and low cost of the fridge magnets. On the golden sands, magnets are sold with the views of the sea, cities, roses, attractions, inscriptions and wishes.

Ceramic products are used in demand - bowls, pots, plates, jugs, mugs, kettles, solonki, sugar bowls. We bought a boiler kettle for 12 leftovers and a pot for extinguishing for 10 leftions with the original ornament, where "droplets" (drops) are necessarily present. We also bought for 8 left-left ceramic mug with attractions: Varna, Nessebar, Balchik and Albena resort.

Pay attention to embroidered woolen tablecloths - red, green and white - in Bulgarian cafes and restaurants. They are perfectly combined with Bulgarian ceramics. True, tablecloths are expensive: 15-20 left. We bought four red napkins with a national embroidery of 2 lev each. A welding teapot with a Bulgarian ornament on an embroidered red napkin looks great and the aroma of tea reminds us of Bulgaria.

In general, Bulgarian textiles and knitwear are characterized by quality and inexpensive price. The most common among products of linen tablecloths, tumors, napkins, shirts, blouses, bed linen. I liked the White T-shirt out of 100% cotton in the shop on the golden sands. The body is nice, and the main thing I liked the application in the form of a map of the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria with all resorts and commemorative places, in many of whom I visited.

Bulgarian dolls - a good gift. For a little girl, it is better to buy a doll in national clothes. Dolls in strange shaggy clothes in a mask and without mask - Kukii (omens) - possess, according to beliefs, protective functions.

In souvenir shops, you can buy a witch in the Ostroda Cap, similar to Gingum and Bastland from the fairy tale "The Wizard of the Emerald City". But a strong impression of a big witch was made to me, which began to giggle viciously and wave a broom with a cotton in his hands. Such a doll is a good gift for the trembling. Much better than a barbed fish like a bowl. These fish are sold in abundance, it means that they have demand.

Beautiful works of wood thread masters. Interestingly, in Bulgaria, exclusively men are engaged in this art. Homemade coin will create wooden boxes, spoons, wall plates, clock with scorched roses.

Lovers of art can bring with golden sands written by watercolor or oil painting of Bulgarian landscapes or attractions. An interesting gift will be an individual or collective portrait who draws an artist or an artist, which is a lot on the street of artists. The cost of portrait from 90 to 390 lefts depending on the number of persons depicted there.

A colorful reminder of the Black Sea will be beads made of white and colored seashells, which look great on the tanned neck. Beautifully also looks like necklaces, earrings and bracelets from seashells. Well, silver products on the skin with the southern tan generally look great. Silver products on the resort Golden Sands are sold in many stores.

Rarely, who leaves Bulgaria, without taking a bottle with him - another beautiful Bulgarian wine or something striking or cognac. We did not exception - and grabbed a five-star cognac "Plisks". I liked the cost of the bottle of brandy in the Nectar Store on the street of artists - about 10 leftions (200 rubles). Try it to buy a 5-star Bulgarian brandy in Russia for 200 rubles!

In stores on golden sands Bottle of red wine "Katar" and white wine Tamanka "stand within 3 leftions (60 rubles).

Bulgarian Moonshine - Rakia - an amateur. It is best to buy grape crazy. But there are plum, apricot, cherry and apple raki. In the cafe "Magura" on the golden sands I drank "Cave Rakia". I recommend - good! For dinner in a restaurant - a picnic under the town of Kavarna, we poured out a barrel. With a shop salad and chicken in Bulgarian Classical Rakia walked with a bang.

For lovers, exotic will be interesting to grab with them anise mastic - a strong drink 40 - 50 degrees and a mint liquor. But this is very exotic drinks.

On a hot sunny day, and in the evening it's good to drink a glass of beer. On the golden sands, I drank a light beer "Boyrage", "Zadaris" and "Shumenskoye". Try. I think you will like it.
