Bulgaria is fast becoming a popular destination for tourists. Situated just north of Greece, the country combines a rich and varied history and culture and offers visitors all kinds of options from sunny Black Sea coastal resorts to skiing and birdwatching.
Holiday activities
 There really is something for everyone in Bulgaria. The ski resorts are popular yet not too crowded. Enthusiasts here often visit Borovets and Pamporovo. Borovets is a modern resort in Rila with pistes reaching 2,600m. Skiers at all levels can enjoy mild winters with plenty of snow and have plenty of additional winters sports to choose from including night-skiing, cross-country skiing, ski-jumping and snowboarding.
Pamporovo is situated by the Rhodopi mountain range. The resort is the southern-most ski resort in Europe which means that skiers enjoy a lot of sunshine and a lot of snow! This resort is particularly popular with beginners although more experienced skiers will also have plenty of options.
Those looking for beach holidays will also find that the country has a lot to offer. The Black Sea coastal resorts have a great climate and sandy beaches. Visitors can also try out various water sports including water-skiing, wind-surfing and sailing. Extreme sports are also well catered for inland -- the rivers Arda, Stackevska, Ossam and Struma are popular Spring destinations for white-water rafting, canoeing and kayaking.
 Bird watching in Bulgaria
Many bird watchers believe that the country offers some of the best options in the whole of Europe. Many choose to visit in the Spring where it's possible to spot over 200 different species (including many rare birds) but Autumn is also a good time to visit if interested in raptors, pelicans and bird migrations.
With over 400 different species recorded in the country it has now become quite common to take an organised bird-watching holiday here. Tours and guided holidays are available all over the country -- particularly in the Rhodope mountain area, along the coast and in the Danube valley. Tours can be arranged for anything from a short weekend break through to longer holidays.
Conclusion
The only problem many people have with visiting Bulgaria is how to choose what to do when they arrive! Few countries offer so many options -- many skiers claim that the resorts are the best in Europe, the coast offers sunny holidays for both beach and nature lovers and, of course, bird watchers can delight at the rare species they can spot. It's no wonder that the
