Bulgaria's Black Sea coast is one of Europe's most affordable beach holidays, and it's only about three and a half hours from the UK. Where much of the Mediterranean trades in pebble coves, this coast has real sandy beaches, warm summer water and resort towns strung between the ports of Burgas and Varna. A private property here gives families and groups space and self-catering freedom without the western-Med price tag — the value is the point.
It's a straightforward, unpretentious kind of holiday: beach days, easy evenings and old harbour towns like Nesebar and Sozopol to explore when you want a change of pace. This isn't a glossy luxury scene, and it doesn't pretend to be — it's a warm, sandy, good-value coast that suits budget-minded travellers well. Every villa is supplied by Interhome, a long-established European villa operator, with details and availability direct from the source.
