(212.183.140.---) posts : 1689 Date : 08-16-10 13:43 Hi Stuart If you are going on a tight budget, you made the right choice when you chose Bulgaria, I think that you are in for a pleasant suprise If you shop around you can get a large beer for as little as 0.89 Levs. You presently get around 2.30 levs for £1 so if you do the maths you will see that's not so bad Lots of great place's to eat, all much cheaper than Spain or eating out in the UK Enjoy  Please come back & post on your return, I suggest you have a good read on the forum, you can pick up some usefull tips Gary |

(---.range86-135.btcentralplus.com) posts : 48 Date : 08-16-10 15:27 thanks for that Gary. Was there 2 years ago and was hoping its still as cheap and it sounds as if it is. Im looking forward to going back and not half board this time so can sample the restaurants we longed to go in last time was over. |

(---.btc-net.bg) posts : 8 Date : 09-01-10 18:07 Drinks are not too cheap! People have the impression that all drinks are cheap and you will spend next to nothing. This is NOT true! Some drinks like local beer, cocktails and shots are cheap, if you want to drink those then it maybe cheap. Drink anything imported like Smirnoff vodka, Redbull, branded beers like Budweiser or Stella and it is not as cheap as you think. Prices are ‘holiday prices’ which is maybe a little bit less than in England but not a large amount. However buying Alcohol at the supermarket is cheap. You can buy bottles of branded vodka and it is very cheap in comparison to the UK. Eating out is not expensive and there are many places you can go. On the beach front there is kebab stand after kebab stand selling chicken kebab and chips. The meat is very thin and you dont get much, same with the chips. You basically get scraps from most the stands. Eating in restautants is not expensive and the food is very good. |

(---.range86-136.btcentralplus.com) posts : 1689 Date : 09-01-10 20:09 A large beer for 0.79 of a Lev is possibal, many bars only charge 1 Lev At 2.3 Levs to the £ I think most UK drinkers would consider that not too expensive Try getting 2 pints for £1 in the UK Yes if you want to drink imported beer it will cost more, why would it not? To say "Drinks are not cheap" in my opinion is incorect. |

(---.10-3.cable.virginmedia.com) posts : 90 Date : 09-01-10 23:35 The first time we went to Bulgaria, in 2006, we made the mistake of ordering 2 Heinekens ... ouch! Suffice to say we soon learnt the error of our ways and switched to drinking Zagorka which we both found pretty nice. Infact when Morrisons stocked Zagorka I would buy it, just to remind me of our jollies! As long as you stick to the local beers and spirits you won't find it expensive at all. |

(---.range86-174.btcentralplus.com) posts : 48 Date : 09-04-10 23:35 i would love to find a place in the uk where you get two 50ml vodkas and mixers or 2 cocktails for 5 lev so £2.30 i must live in the wrong places. i would never dream of having cocktails at home but its a holiday try the local culture out and the local food. they make the best effort for the local specialities |
