Bulgaria - cheap as chips

My Arse, i have been for the last 3 years sking.

This year was a major rip off.......( granted the first two years were dirt cheap !). The escalation in prices has been widespread. Take my advice , stay away,  better options elsewhere

Recently booked a fortnight in Kusadasi, Turkey through Sunworld.ie.
For myself & the woman it's costing about e900!! - thought that was great for B7B in a 4* hotel!!

icelolly.co.uk & teletextholidays.co.uk are decent also!

BUT - do you research!!

Myself and six other lads went to Magaluf last August, stayed in the fiesta jungla, £425 for a fortnite through thomson. The holiday had everything you mentioned! There wasn't that many irish about which we were happy enough about because we didnt want to go on holiday and it seem like it was bundoran. Santa ponsa's 10min up the road, but alot quieter.

I know you didnt mean Skiing.  However the point i was making , is that the bulgarians have caught on and prices generally in any tourist area have rocketed by about threefold. This is standard across the board in regards of drink, food, taxis, clothes.

The problem is that Bulgaia had a reputation for cheaper prices, but it has caught up quickly. No longer the same value for money.
