Living in rural Bulgaria and one idea for running a rural tourism
This article is just giving an idea to those who intend to relocate in rural Bulgaria (or already did that).
I know that many foreigners like the rural life; many are tired of the rush in the big city. And many have decided to choose Bulgaria. But is it possible to gain money from living in a village where the unemployment is high by offering rural tourism?
I would say: Why not.
I will give you an example with me. I live in the big city; I am tired of the traffic, of the rush to be at a certain place at the exact moment. Every day I am in a hurry to go to work, but before that someone has to drop the kid to school then after work to pick from school, then to go to the swimming pool or dancing classes or birthday party or something else has to be done (there’s always something else). Just imagine there are two kids!!! The hurry is double. And 90% of those who live in a city are just like me!
So, from time to time obviously I need a rest. What do you think I’d choose for the weekend? – I’d love to go somewhere deep in the country, where there are no cars, no traffic lights. It would be great to be in the middle of nowhere and listen to the silence. That’s fine for me but that’s boring for the children.
And here comes my idea for the English speaking villagers – what would be great for my family:
1. I would enjoy B&B in a nice and quiet area
2. It would be great for the children to practice their English
3. It would be great if someone tell me where to go for a walk, perhaps to visit the nearby caves, springs and waterfalls, hunting and fishing, mountaineering, picking forest products and medical herbs and many other recreational and entertaining activities.
4. It would be great for the children if there is a small tent in the garden where they can play and pretend to be somewhere else – far from the parents.
5. It would be great both for children and adults if a ride on a donkey is offered (or a horse). I just imagine how fun it will be!!! The kids that live in a city can see a donkey only on a picture or in the zoo.
6. How about if I am offered to milk a goat? Or to pick vegetables from the garden and make a salad? I would be interested in agricultural activities involved in the everyday works of the farm.
Now I need offers. I feel excited of my own idea. I’m going to ask Google is there a nice place for me and my family? A place where we can ride a donkey…
Free viewing trip for all holiday apartment buyers
Why should I invest in holiday apartment in a moment of crisis? Why now?
There is a very popular interpretation of the Chinese character of “CRISIS” as a combination of two other characters. The first means “DANGER” and the other “OPPORTUNITY”. This is exactly how we can describe the present situation in Bulgaria. Every difficult moment appears to be a crucial point for everybody and a big opportunity for those who have the courage to make investments.
If you are one of these clever people and you have considered a purchase of a property in Bulgaria we can assure you that you have chosen the perfect moment. The prices of holiday apartments are falling down and time for investments has come. It appears that because of the investment rush of the last few years some properties have been overpriced. These are the middle-class properties, whose prices are reduced now. This is good news for a lot of people who have always wanted to have a holiday apartment in Bulgaria and for all the others who are looking for an investment. A lot of developers are trying to attract buyers of seaside apartments before the summer season has started. Similar is the situation with properties in winter resorts. To make the long story short I will have to say that the key words of the holiday property market this spring are promotions, reduced prices, and better payment conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions about purchasing and staying in Bulgaria
Are there any restrictions for foreigners?
According to the Bulgarian law, foreigners can buy buildings in Bulgaria but not land. Therefore if you want to buy a property with a piece of land you should establish a company. You will be allowed to own the land and the building on the name of your company. We will assist you in the entire process from start to finish.
Will we get ownership documents for the property?
Yes, you will have title deeds in your name, or if you are buying through a company, your company name.
Do we need a visa to travel to Bulgaria and how long can we stay?
EU citizens do not require a visa in order to visit Bulgaria and can stay in Bulgaria for 90 days in any 6 months.
Is it possible to buy without coming to Bulgaria?
Yes, this is possible, but not always so straight forward. You will have to get documents signed and stamped in the UK. It is often easier and quicker to come to Bulgaria for a couple of days and sort everything out here. Plus, you will be able to see the property.
What if we want to have renovations?
No problem! We can provide you a team of professional builders who would do whatever you require.
Can we use our credit and debit cards when we come?
In the bigger towns, you can use your cards, but still only in the larger shops. All the hotels will accept cards, and all the major petrol stations, but in general most other transactions are carried out in cash.
Marina Dinevi – a place for relaxation & crazy summer life
Saint Vlas is situated at the foot of the Balkan mountain surrounded by picturesque nature and beach line of total length of 1,5 kilometers. For the last few years Saint Vlas has become a very popular touristic area and is attracting more and more investors. In 2007 the small town made a big step forward with the opening of the modern yacht port Marina Dinevi.
Port Marina Dinevi is a unique yacht port at the Black Sea. It has capacity of around 300 boats. The situation of the port, its construction technology and especially the services, rank Marina Dinevi among the most elite yacht facilities in the world.
Besides luxury marine facility, the yacht port managed for a short period of time to become a favorite place for recreation and entertainment for many people.
Let me describe to you how it looks in the daytime! From early morning the attractive beaches on both sides of the port are full of interesting people who have come to enjoy the sun and sea. It is really crowded and by lunchtime is almost impossible to find a place under an umbrella.
At sunset, when all sun-lovers withdraw for a rest, start hectic preparations for the nightlife. Since the opening of the yacht complex, its restaurants and bars have turned into real hot spot amongst nightlife lovers. There is something for everyone – romantic restaurants with different types of cuisine, elegant piano bars and ultra modern night clubs. Here you can also meet a lot of Bulgarian celebrities, attracted by the gloss and charm of Marina Dinevi. Party is at its height until early morning, when Marina Dinevi turns again into a place for relaxation.
For people who come here on foot the port is fun and beaches, but we must not forget that it is at first place a very reliable and convenient moorage for all who come by sea.
As a modern yacht complex, The Marina offers excellent conditions for stay and residing of yachts. Usage of electricity, water, cable television and Internet are only part of the offered package of services related to the exploitation and the maintenance of the yachts. Besides the luxury hotel Marina Dinevi offers to its visitors a medical center, business building containing offices for the port as well as: Customs, Border Police, Port Administration, halls for business meetings and press conferences.
Each year in the Marina a lot of business, sport and entertainment event take place, the most important of which are the Yacht exhibition Marina Dinevi, the International Regatta Evolution cup, a stage of the Regatta Port Bourgas, first edition of the regatta of the secondary sea schools in Bulgarian. The end of season 2007 was celebrated with a show performance of the actors from the travelling theater – ship Amara Ziy – Canada.
Marina Dinevi is the place where you can relax, enjoy the crazy summer life and why not buy a yacht and chase the sunset!!!
