When we first visited the village in which we bought it was like stepping back 30 years in time and I loved it. Every house grew their own produce even grapes, kept chickens and ducks and even made their own wine. There seemed to be a lot of pride taken, in themselves and their village. It was very refreshing to see.


You need to visit the country first to make sure this is where you want to move to, we have been here now for 12 years and live 7kms inland from Sunny Beach which is a great location for us, near to the sea and just far enough for the peace and quite of the village, the coastline varies from the north to the south, me I love Burgas but there are many people that prefer Varna, which is why you need to look for yourself. You will find very cheap properties but these will be quite a way inland and most will need to be knocked down and rebuilt, prices along the coast now are not cheap and houses with land also are now not cheap.
