The Black Sea Coast region
The Black Sea coast offers many wonderful opportunities whatever sort of holiday you’re looking for. Whether it’s plenty of activity for all the family or just relaxing in the sun and doing nothing you’re after. Or perhaps you want to discover the nightlife and go out clubbing to the early hours. Maybe you want to go rambling in the countryside or visit the many historical or cultural attractions there are. Perhaps you want to completely pamper yourself and take advantage of the huge variety of healing treatments available including thermal mineral spa and mud treatments, plus massage, reflexology, etc. all available for extremely good prices. There are spas at Golden Sands, Albena, Balchik, St Constantine and Varna.
The Black Sea is an enclosed sea and hence the water temperature is actually higher than the Mediterranean. It’s not unusual on a hot summer’s day for the water temp to reach 25°C. It’s also non-tidal, so is very calm and safe for bathing and swimming for people of all ages. The Black Sea is actually half as saline as the Mediterranean. The majority of Bulgarian beaches have been awarded the EU Blue Flag for their environmental excellence.
The climate begins to warm up by the middle to end of March, when the temperatures can be already be up to 18 - 20 degrees C. This is when Spring begins to fully blossom and it's a very beautiful time to visit. Almond, walnut anc cherry trees are in full bloom The days are mostly clear and warm with very little rain, but as soon as the sun sets it gets a little chilly. By mid to end of May, the evenings are long and warm with temperatures in the mid 20's degrees C. July and August is the peak season with long beautiful Meditterean feel days and temperatures reaching the mid 30's degrees C. But June and September are usually equally gorgeous and the great weather often continues into October. It can be fairly cold in November and December but January and February are the coldest and wettest months, although temperatures rarely go below 0 degrees C on the coast.

Guestbook
"We just wanted to let you know how lovely we thought Villa Laska is... we have just stayed for only a few nights, but would love to return in August. The house is really presented in a lovely and tasteful way that is nearly impossible to find here in Bulgaria. The fittings and decor are fabulous and I was convinced that a woman was responsible for kitting out the kitchen, it was so meticulously done! The guide books were extremely handy and the emergency supplies in the cupboards are a good idea for people arriving in the middle of the night. We found that the agency was really helpful and professional and the cleanliness of the house was really impressive. Many thanks!" Tricia and family - Australia
"We loved your villa and really enjoyed our stay. You have done a fantastic job on it and the decor is great with a really contemporary feel to it. It is brilliant the way all those double doors open out onto the terrace, giving a real outdoors feel and making the most of that wonderful view. You certainly picked a lovely spot. It is also great that absolutely everything you need is there in the way of crockery/utensils/saucepans etc. very well thought out, and the fact that there are all the odd things such as salt, pepper, oil, dishwasher powder, washing up liquid etc. makes life so much easier. I can't think of anything you could do to improve your villa, it was just great unusual to find somewhere where everything has been thought of. We will certainly recommend your villa to anyone we know" Susan and Graham, Tiverton, Devon, UK
"Just as we expected and more, the view was hard to leave! Quality of villa - excellent, along with the service of the agent. Thanks and will certainly recommend it to others - actually don't want to go home!'" - Clare Yeandle, Southampton, UK

"Fantastic holiday, beaches and people great. Accommodation excellent, views fantastic. So nice to sit having breakfast looking at the views." - Clare Randell - UK
"Lovely place!! It has everything, amazing views, amazing beaches close by, a nice place to swim nearby. We all enjoyed it all. Nightlife in Golden Sands was brilliant and the weather was fantastic, couldn't ask for any more! Thanks." - Dominic Yeandle, Southampton, UK
"Excellent location. Had a very enjoyable week. Visited Bistro Palma on the beach several times - food excellent. We also found a great restaurant in Kranevo town, don't remember the name, but excellent home cooked food with over 100 choices. Would love to stay again soon" Amanda Turner, UK
