Hi

My mum has an apartment there and it%26#39;s really nice. There is a restaurant which is open from first thing in the morning until last thing at night. The food is pretty nice too, nothing fancy though. There is also a shop on site which is open almost all the time. You can get British newspapers there if you%26#39;re quick (they sell out straight away). Obviously it%26#39;s right next to the beach but there are some rather steep steps to access it - be careful! The taxi drivers that run from the apartments are all really friendly but there are also buses that run past the main road every so often (not sure of the timetable).

St Vlas is just up the road and it%26#39;s fab. Far less touristy than Sunny Beach and the restaurants are loads cheaper. It%26#39;s lovely to sit in the square in the evening and watch people go by. I recommend Garana restaurant for cheap food and the Balkan for something special in lovely surroundings.

I%26#39;m going there at the beginning of July, I%26#39;ve not been for a year so I will post if there is any news!

I hope this helps - I really love the place so I hope you enjoy it too! xx

Hi

We got back last Friday. Had a lovely time. Elenite is the resort just up the road from St Vlas and much quieter than Sunny Beach. I personally really like it up there. The apartments are all really close to the beach (some are right on the beach) and there are lots of tree covered mountain/hills behind so it all looks very nice! This year I tried the bus service for the first time. It was actually alright too! It makes getting into Sunny Beach or Old Nessebar really easy and it%26#39;s super cheap (about 2 or 3lvs to get into Sunny Beach, and it%26#39;s direct, no changing or anything). The Marina area in St Vlas is lovely - there are some amazing boats, cars and restaurants down there! The beach next to the Marina looks great and there are lots of aparments down in that area too, they all look lovely.

On our way back we got chatting to an older couple who had rented an apartment in St Vlas from a friend. They said they really liked the place, the food and the people but as the gentleman was in a wheelchair they found it very difficult to get about easily - it%26#39;s all a little hilly and Bulgarian pavements are highly questionable (don%26#39;t think about wearning high heeled shoes!). If you do have mobility issues you might want to stick with Sunny Beach as it%26#39;s much flater.

If you do go to St Vlas then you MUST try the Balkan restaurant. It was about £25 for 2 starters, main courses, beer, wine and mineral water and the food was AMAZING - like a fine dining restaurant over here almost. The setting is also beautiful, lovely gardens. There are far cheaper places to eat though, the Garana restaurant at the square is great!

On an evening in St Vlas you can sit in the square and watch the world go by, which is actually quite interesting when you consider how many nationalities are milling about. Or, you can visit Gorgeous%26#39; George%26#39;s British Bar. Although this might sound horrendous it%26#39;s actually a nice place and probably the least British-orientated British bar you will ever visit! They%26#39;ve just got a Union Jack stuck in the corner but otherwise it%26#39;s a nice place to sit and look down on the main street in St Vlas - the cocktail list is extensive and fun too!

I hope this info is helpful, if you do decide to go then enjoy your stay!

Thank you

xx
