There are two main reasons why people are interested in Bulgaria as a destination to purchase property.
- Quality of life
- An almost unrivalled investment opportunity
Of course, these two need not be exclusive, indeed, nor should they.
Bulgaria has a wealth of character, culture and history, yet at the moment most people are interested in this stunning country simply because they wish to make money.
Do you wish you had invested in Spain 10 years ago?
Now you can.

Food and Drink

One of the Bulgaria's foremost strengths is the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables and the delicious varied cuisine. It is without doubt the reliance on fresh local produce that ensures Bulgarian meals retain a character and flavour, which has been lost in many of Europeans fast food societies. Salads are a particular delight, and the traditional 'Shopska' salad is a must during any stay in the country.
There are many traditional Bulgarian dishes that have an unmistakable Greek or Turkish influence. However, Bulgarian cooking still has strong regional characteristics with many dishes being traditional and more prominent in particular areas of the country.
Vegetarians will find that much of the local dishes are in fact vegetarian. From the multitude of salads to traditional stuffed peppers, vegetarians are surprisingly well catered for.
Fish plays an important part of the diet in both the coastal and the mountain areas. The numerous, excellent fish restaurants of the ancient town of Nessebar offer a particularly delightful opportunity to sample their local seafood.
The general cost of living remains a fraction of that of many other European countries, even in the tourist hotspots. A typical three course meal will generally cost no more than £8 each in holiday resorts with a cost of nearer £5 in more rural regions. The two main beers in the country are 'Kamnetiza' and 'Zagorka', whilst the red wine is justifiably famous. The red wine enthusiast should certainly take the time to try a bottle of reasonably priced 'Tcherga' or slightly more expensive 'Uniquato' on any visit to the country.
