This site is devoted to Adventure & Activity holidays & travel activities in bulgaria

including Cultural, walking,cycling,caving,paragliding,Spiritual & Eco Tourism.

A site for people who do not want to fry on the beach.

Bulgarian Holidays was set up to share my love of adventure travel, and to show what a great place Bulgaria is for all lovers of outdoor adventure.

From walking through the countryside around Varna in June, to experiencing the stillness and beauty of the Rila Mountains on a cold January Morning, bulgaria is fantastic.

This is the first directory devoted purely to activity & adventure travel in Bulgaria.

Flying to Bourgas on 4th July 2009


In two days time I am flying out to Bourgas from Gatwick, Uk at 0255 in the morning.

I have managed to get a last minute flight for £109, which is pretty good for a return ticket in July I think.

I intend to keep this blog updated with my travels as I go along. Will probably chill out at the new hostel in Bourgas (the only proper one that I have heard of), for the weekend before heading for Veliko Tarnovo or the Rodopi Mountains by coach.

It's great to be travelling again. :-)

Campsites


Camp Sites in Bulgaria are great places in which to erect a Yurt, tipi or tent.

If you own a campsite in Bulgaria and would like to have a free plug on the site, then drop us an email.

Following Your Heart Experiment


I have decided to stop thinking logically (using left hemispere of Brain) so much and following my heart.

It seems to me that many really successful people including Steve Jobs (of Apple Computers), plus lots of songwriters (John Denver, Blur etc for example) talk about the 'heart' as if this should be a guide as to what you do.

This is apparently more common in Asian culture, whereas in the West it is discouraged in favour of logic.

I guess we should be following our hearts, and then using logic to manage our hearts desires (but support it, and not suppress it).

Planning to Cycle to Bulgaria


I have been planning to cycle from the Uk to Bulgaria this summer, as soon as my new passport arrives.

I used to be a keen cyclist when I was at school, and cycled up to 200 Miles in a typical week. I am however, now in my 30's and have hardly cycled since about 1995.

My current plan is to raise money for the Mental Health Charity Mind, and a second Charity which will directly benefit Bulgaria.

Yurts


A yurt is a type of portable accommodation,used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia. They are felt covered, and the skeleton is a wood lattice-frame. Yurts are an eco friendly way of living, as they are made using natural materials, and are low impact on the environment because they can be taken down and moved. Also you do not need to use heavy machinery to prepare the ground.

We are the first to offer Yurt Holidays in Bulgaria. Our sites are all over Bulgaria, in such areas as Veliko Tarnovo, & the Rodopi Mountains.
