Rested from May 20 to June 3.2011. I will say right away that I rested according to the principle:
get as much as possible by paying as little as possible. Rested alone, the flight was
from Moscow to Varna and back from Varna to Moscow, although I myself am from Nizhny Novgorod,
therefore, it was still necessary to get to Moscow..... Transaero Airlines,
which surprised and disappointed - they don’t serve hot food on board : (, in my memory
it was the first time.
The tour was purchased from Intourist, the host company Alma Holidays. Cost per
15 days with a visa 400 euros with kopecks...
What did I expect to get for this money? First of all, of course, the sea, the beach and
warm. Second - hotel with bed and hot water, breakfast, swimming pool, free
wi-fi in the hotel lobby. Third, excursions.
First, everything was received in full. The sea is clean, 30 meters
to go through, so that at least to the waist to go. Somewhere since May 27 it is already warm enough to

bathe. The beach - I never found out if the Balkan hotel has it. sunbathed on her
towel on the beach I liked - for free. Weather for 10 days of my holiday
was great, not a cloud. Then it was stormy, sunbeds and umbrellas washed away on the beaches,
a wave about a meter high. After that, clouds began to appear for half a day, in
the day before my departure it was raining, for the first time.
Second: the hotel - Balkan 2 *, located 5 minutes from the beach crawling. 3 cases: 2 of
of them are 4-storey, 1 - 6-storey. I lived in one of the 4-story, apparently in the old...
the second one looked better than mine, on the 2nd floor. There is a swimming pool. Restaurant type
dining room. Children's slide and swing. Billiards, table tennis. It all started with
the fact that they didn’t expect me there on May 20 at all, they have had a season since June. Nevertheless,
after the guide called the hotel (when we got there, it was about 10
evening) they turned on the light, let us in. Settled. I have been throughout the hotel.
the only tourist - almost a week. The room was with two beds, no bedspreads.
There is also a table, 2 plastic chairs in the room, a built-in wardrobe, it is not clear from what
times, his doors squeaked like an unoiled cart. There is still something unclear
whether a couch, or a sofa. There are 2 glasses and an ashtray on the table. The floor is tile. IN
bathroom - toiletries are current soap and t / paper. Hot water was
current in the morning, after my claims, became around the clock. Balcony available.
There was no TV in the room, but ten days later they installed it in all rooms and
is free. Moreover, there was even a Russian channel. Refrigerator for rent
fan, safe at the reception - I did not use any of this, documents and
I kept the money in the room - nothing was lost. Linen changed once in 15 days
cleaned almost every day. Breakfast - so normal for me: an egg, a salad from
cabbages, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, apples, cherries, cheese, sausage, butter, jam,
bread, croutons, buns, coffee, tea. In June, yuppies have already appeared.

Swimming pool - after my arrival, they began to hastily rake out the mud and everything else
worse. In general, somewhere in a week it was already possible to swim there, but after
what I saw there, I somehow disdained to swim... Wi-fi was present in the lobby,
but closed. To my question about the code, they answered that it was the owner’s Wi-Fi, and the code
they are not, and in general, the Internet does not work for them.
Third: I did not go on organized excursions. From Sunny Beach in an hour to
the beach you can walk to Nessebar, there are a lot of interesting things. They still go there
buses all the time. You can also take a bus to Burgas (5 lv), although there
I didn't notice anything particularly interesting. From Burgas there is a bus to Sozopol (4
lv), it is also worth going there.
In general, 15 days at sea cost me about 470 euros, including ALL costs,
down to the subway. And I liked it : ).
