I have been watching all the videos made by "Travel With Col" on his journeys around the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. Col is always informative and entertaining while showing the viewer the best and the worst of the destinations he visits. I watched all the Bulgarian videos by Col simply out of nostalgia as I used to holiday in places like Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and Varna between 2004 and 2008. I was lucky to have got to Bulgaria in the '00s as it was still a unique place to visit. I would not now go to the Bulgarian resorts such as Sunny Beach and Golden Sands as the charm of the place has gone and comes across as an Eastern European version of "Blackpool". Places like Sunny Beach are far too built up and overly commercialized and cater for the 18-30s.
Thanks for the kind words! I guess the place has changed in many ways, Nessebar is lovely though as is Sveti Vlas. Also maybe check out my Guided Tours from Poland and Czech Republic
Thanks! How much for a Cocktail 🍹? $? And which Cocktail do you recommend there? Please Subscribe my Channel @ youtube.com/@travelwithcol4625 for more Guided Tours from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Hi Col just subscribed to your channel we have been going to Sunny Beach for about 16 years we absolutely love it,we were out the last week in May staying at the Karlova a lovely small hotel facing the Perla hotel, will be back in August for three weeks are you planning on visiting again this year ? Thanks for uploading the videos 😊
Yes I will be going again later in the summer! Thanks for the kind words! Which hotel would you say is the Best in Sunny Beach ? And why ? And what is your Favourite Restaurant?
@@travelwithcol4625 Hi Cole we stayed at the Perla Hotel it was nice breakfast was the same every morning but we always found it nice but now it is all inclusive and adults only,we love The Karlova it is very clean food is lovely and the staff can’t do enough when we were out last week it was a surprise gift from my husband a wedding anniversary present we went with Travel Solutions the hotel manager upgraded us to a two bedroom apartment because we have stayed with them about four times,we now book through Balkan because our original tour operator stopped three weeks we are going back to L&B a family run hotel very clean nice food and the breakfast is well known in Sunny Beach,as for restaurants you can’t beat Lapa Lapa, The Flor, we tend to go further back and try traditional Bulgarian restaurants,August is very hot we went last year to the market got a bus from the bus station,this year we plan on going to Ravda maybe stay overnight,we spend some nights in The Maestro pub they have a great band Step By Step they play great rock music if your into it the members are lovely guys,we tend to stay at small hotels I saw a few apartments for sale in The Diamond hotel and often wondered what it was like it is very central we like up round D’Jannys the stores and atmosphere The Bolero is another lovely restaurant the food is beautiful The Malina is another nice restaurant so many to choose from hopefully see you some time when we are out and about.
@@travelwithcol4625 There are many lovely restaurants we like Lapa Lapa,the pork knuckle is my husbands favorite Bolero is beautiful and The Flor we tend to go further back and seek out quaint little restaurants’ as for hotels we stayed at the Perla it was fine clean rooms continental breakfast it suited us then it became all inclusive so we switched to The Karlova a small hotel but we love it very clean nice food and the staff are lovely we stayed last week it was a surprise from my husband for our wedding anniversary the hotel upgraded us to a two bedroom apartment which was so nice of them because we were returning customers unfortunately our tour operator doesn’t do three weeks at The Karlova anymore so last year we stayed at L&B another small family run hotel their fry is famous in Sunny Beach we are booked for August this year to stay at L&B again we plan on going to Ravada for the day maybe stay overnight, last year we got a bus to the market it was interesting same stuff as in SB but it was a day out and we enjoyed the bus trip I think I saw an apartment for sale in The Diamond do you always stay there ? we would love to purchase an apartment and spend months in Bulgaria we love the people never had a problem with anyone being rude we are quite laid back and are respectful of Bulgarias traditions hopefully see you in August maybe’ we spend a few nights in The Maestro bar Step By Step play a great rock band and the members are lovely guys check them out Col.
@@travelwithcol4625 Hi Col our favourite hotel is The Karlova small hotel very clean and nice food last week the manager upgraded our stay as it was our wedding anniversary,we have stayed at The Perla but it is all inclusive now,unfortunately our tour operator only does one week holidays now so we had to go with Balkans and last year we stayed at L&B another small family run hotel their breakfast is quite famous in SB,this year we are booked L&B again we loved it,as for restaurants Lapa Lapa is a firm favourite their pork knuckle is delicious,Bolero is another lovely restaurant as is The Flo we tend to go further back and find quaint little restaurants,we went to the market last year it was a nice day out same prices as SB we plan to go to Ravda and maybe stay overnight Nessebar is stunning especially Echo Bar,if you like a good rock band check out Step By Step they play at The Maestro and the guys are very friendly,maybe see you in August we arrive the 16th do you always stay at The Diamond hotel I think a saw an apartment for sale in there it looks nice with a good location.

Great information again Col, you know more about Sunny Beach and me now 😮, i like the look of that Iris restaurant near the bus station, dont think ive been in there, illl luv it in there as i should be able to order in Bulgarian even though i carnt read Cyrillic alphabet, me and friends are there in three weeks, be great to see Albena in Spiders, two chaps who run the pool bar in the Pomorie again, club's i went in when i was in my 40s, were Lazur, Iceberg, Orange and Mania have all gone i believe, Den Glade Viking is still there though 👍
Ask for the Day menu at Iris G! Thanks for the info! Can you recommend me some good bars in Pomorie? I would like to go there next time for a few days. How is Pomorie? Do you have any info about it ?
@@travelwithcol4625 me and a friend went for half a day or so June 2019 in the early afternoon, place was quiet, we had one beer near the beach, walked around for a bit then got bus back, maybe July and August it will better
@Slanche1974 when I arrived on 12th May the taxi Driver told me that Bulgarian people are not going to Sunny B much anymore because of the high prices inflation, he said they stay in Pomorie and Obzor where accommodation is cheaper
@@travelwithcol4625 probably right, i will look forward to your great videos if you do spend some time in Pomorie and Obzor, I've stayed in Sunny Beach 20 times and Varna 5 times, my favourite bars in Varna is Cubo and Makalali on the beach, the hotel I stayed in Varna was Aletka Hotel 4 times, lovely little hotel near Piccadilly supermarket the other side of the Sea Garden from Odessa hotel and i stayed once in Varma at old russian style hotel Orbit. As for Sunny Beach stayed in numerous hotels, take care 👍

The measure was just normal , it was whisky 🥃 and coke that was 11 lev just standard names like Red Label , Ballentines and Jim Beam. Savoy whisky is mega cheap but the foreigners don’t like it, it’s cheap and nasty. Branded beers are expensive and local beers are cheap. What club do you work in ?
Yes September is a good time to go. Some places close late September and some close 10th October. Maybe check out my other Tours, it is Free to Subscribe @ youtube.com/@travelwithcol4625
It’s in the South of Sunny Beach, it is in a disappointing location in the Old Part on the way to Nessebar. For sure you will need buses or taxis to the centre and taxis are expensive. The hotel itself is ok, but I prefer the Smart Line Meridian which is a little bit closer to the city centre.
