Bansko area
Bansko is not only a great ski resort offering all you would expect from a modern European resort, except for the crowds and at a fraction of the cost.
It is also an excellent summer vacation offering superb mountain scenery, hiking, fishing, kayaking and horseriding, as well as more extreme sports white water rafting, canoeing or paragliding; making this the ideal summer holiday for those who prefer much more than lazing around.
For those who just want to relax, you can wander around the 10th century old town and soak up the national heritage;a perfect place with museums, local monuments and narrow cobbled streets where you can explore and haggle the price of souvenirs from local shops, or just relax in one of the many local bars or cafe's.
A luxury 18 hole golf course was completed in Summer 2006.
