Affordable beach resorts in Bulgaria to visit this summer – with beers under £2 and 1-week holidays from £316pp

BULGARIA has been a favourite for Brits for decades, and it’s easy to understand why.

With its short flight times, hot weather, cheap drinks and dining options, the Balkan country is one of the most budget-friendly destinations for sun-seeking Brits.

Summertime highs reach 35C during the day, with an average temperature of 27C.

Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and Albena are the most popular destinations along the Black Sea coast.

These affordable resorts are filled with activities, restaurants, beaches and hotels.

However, those seeking a quieter alternative can visit lesser-known spots like Veleka Beach in Sinemorets, Nessebar and Kavarna.

Sunny Beach was also number seven on this year’s Holiday Money Report by Post Office Travel Money.

According to the report, in Sunny Beach, a coffee should cost around £1.63, while a small bottle of local beer can be purchased for £1.86.

Meanwhile, a three-course evening meal for two, including a bottle of house wine, should cost around £39.31.

Although summer is quickly approaching, hundreds of holiday deals are still available from £316pp.
