Just returned from Sozopol

Just come back from 2 weeks in the Hotel Villa List in Sozopol (which is right next door to the Hotel Selena) and it was wonderful. Very warm, lots of lovely reasonably priced food and drinks.

Restaurants to recommend - just up from the Villa List and Selena, Bistro Sozopol. Very nice food, large vodka is 100ml for 5 levs. The other is Ocean in the middle of the park, lovely Chicken Satch, well worth trying. You can also go into the Hotel Selena and their food is quite good too.

Lots of ATM%26#39;s in the area. We hired a safe in our room at the hotel for 6 levs per day. Bought some Golden Virginia tobacco, 10 x 50g pouches for 90 levs. Leather mules on a stall at the sea front of the new town, for 16 levs and they are very comfortable.

All in all, had a wonderful time.

Hi Sharon

Glad to hear you enjoyed Sozopol. We went a few years ago and stayed at the Selena. The hotel and resort were great. We are giving Obzor a try for the first time next month.

Best wishes

I wanted to book the Selena but the only thing putting me off was the size of their swimming pool. I swim approx 3 miles per week and actually our balcony overlooked the Selena pool and I would say it is no longer than 7m in length. The pool in the Villa List wasn%26#39;t great, but did manage to get some lengths done.

Not heard too much about Ozbor. We are thinking possibly about Golden Sands next year, provided Varna Airport is open then, otherwise it is a long journey from Bourgas to Golden Sands by bus late at night.

Your%26#39;e right Sharon, the Selena pool was the smallest hotel pool I%26#39;ve seen and freezing with it! It was the only drawback I could find. Glad to see the vodka is still cheap!

I will post my thoughts on Obzor when we get back. Staying at the Riu Helios Bay with Thomsons as couldn%26#39;t face another holiday with Balkan as they keep changing flights and accommodation.

I didn%26#39;t know that Varna airport was closed, but did wonder why there are not many holidays offered this year in Golden Sands. I would have tried there.

Best wishes

Yvonne
