The Black Sea Coast region
Rakitnika is a village by the Black Sea Coast, just south of Varna. The area has a typical continental climate providing long hot summers and short cold winters. The local area is steeped in history and archeology, both of these represented in the Varna museums nearby. If you require the rumbuction of Golden Sands you will find it just 20 mins away from Varna. The village is still mainly Bulgarian but there are English & Irish families in the community along with Russian and German residents.
Varna / Rakitnika area
Nearby to Rakitnika you can visit the working vinyards and distilleries, sample the local Rakia - it really is special, walk in the forests amongst the varied wildlife and birds, beach fishing or para gliding, horse riding are all available locally. Within ten minutes by car you will arrive at some of the best restaurants in the Varna region where you can eat and drink the very best at prices you will not believe. The well stocked local stores will enable you to eat well at the villa also ! If you feel brave - Bungy Jumping from the Asperuchovo bridge on Fridays, good for hangovers I'm told !!
How to get there
Rakitnika is just 20 minutes by taxi from Varna International Airport, flights from UK airports are on the increase and you can now fly direct from most regional airports with prices starting at less than £ 100 return. The taxi service from Varna Airport can be ( like all airports ) expensive but alternative arrangements can be made to collect you with our local , cheaper, village taxi. Local car hire can be arranged in advance with car delivered and waiting for you at the airport together with easy instruction for route to the villa. This will be, on average, less than half the price of Airport car hire depots. For those not wishing to drive you can rely on the excellent and frequent bus service from Rakitnika into Varna.
