When you’re on holiday with children keeping them entertained is vital, especially as you don’t have access to things like games consoles. So, it’s time to go old school!
If you grew up pre 2000 and something then you spent a fair chunk of your childhood bored! You know what we are talking about here, you were dragged to your parents friends who didn’t have any children themselves, or pets, or even an outside space so you were faced with hours of sitting in their house listening to adults talking about 70s, 80s or 90s things. Kids these days don’t know they’re born do they?!
So you’ve got to keep you’re

As the true specialist tour operator to Bulgaria, we are the first to say that whatever your budget we have a holiday for you. With that in mind let’s have a look at the luxury end of things in Bulgaria and ask the question, what luxury holidays does Bulgaria offer?
Well, we sent a crack team to check out a selection of luxury hotels along the Black Sea coast…(it’s a difficult job, but hey, someone has to do it!). This is what they came back with…

With the summer season in full swing we thought we would share some useful tips while you’re on holiday in Sunny Beach.
The Beach
Sunny Beach has a sandy beach that’s 8kms long, so a few days on the beach is recommended. Once there you will see there are lots of parasols and sunbeds, there isn’t one price though, it depends where you are on the beach. If you’re in the middle it will cost more than if you’re further along, so do make sure you are happy with where you are and the price before choosing. There are also ‘free zones’ where there are no sunbeds, you can just enjoy the beach for free while you lie on your
