Get in Sundogs mate. That's the drinking hole, where you will find most expats congregate. English & Irish lads regularly in there (especially in the summer). They have a good fortnightly outdoor quiz there in the summer months ... Read More
black sea coast apartment by massimo70
Hi there, just spent 2 weeks in Varna searching for an apartment in the city center. The properties I visited with the real estate agency were quiet expensive, parking place when available was already sold or on sale for more than10K. Any advice? ...

Most 2 bedroom modern apartments are 1000-1200E per sq.m in the centre of Varna, which I think is still good value. Both Varna & Burgas are good cities. Depends what you are looking for I suppose, but Varna is a lot more vibrant than Burgas, ... Read More
Varna and Burgas visit during January by massimo70
Hi everybody, I will be visiting Varna and Burgas during January 2017. I would appreciate to meet somebody living in the area in order to get some advice about local life, prices, housing.... Thanks Max
Massimo, I was in Varna in january too (cold wasnt it?!), and modern 2 bed apartments in the centre were around 1000E per sq.m. So 1 bedroom apartments should be considerably less. Each to their own, but I prefer Varna to Burgas, Read More
