Bulgaria: Southeastern European Jewel

Bulgaria

Fertile plains, mighty mountains and scenic coastline enable Europe's fifteenth largest nation, Bulgaria, or more properly, the Republic of Bulgaria, to be a land of great natural diversity. Some of the oldest trees in the world populate its dense forests, providing homes for brown bears, Eastern imperial eagles, and Eurasian lynx. Bulgaria boasts eleven nature parks and seventeen biosphere reserves that are perfect vacation destinations for Australians looking for some different ecology than they are used to at home.

Lonely Planet ranked Bulgaria in its top ten world travel destinations in 2011, and for good reason. Nearly nine million people visit Bulgaria yearly, attracted to its beautiful and relaxing coastal resorts on the Black Sea's coast such Sozopol, Nesebar, Golden Sands and Albena. More mountainous, winter resorts receive heavy foot-traffic as well, such as Chepelare, Borovetz and Bansko, perfect places for both taking it easy and hitting the slopes.
Apart from attractive resorts, Bulgaria has rich cultural and historic attractions to entice travelers, as well. The Rila Monastery is an example of one of these, an Eastern Orthodox monastery located in the southwestern Rila Mountains, south of the capital, Sofia. The monastery was founded in the tenth century AD, and is one of Bulgaria's, as well as all of Southeastern Europe's, most prized and revered architectural and cultural marvels for its beautiful design and fascinating history.

For Australian travelers looking to visit Europe, Bulgaria contends with the most popular destinations in the continent with its natural beauty and cultural wealth. There's no better time than the present for Aussies to join the nine million other visitors that chose Bulgaria for their destination. Cheap flights and a great vacation await!
