Sunny Beach, Bulgaria by kismihok

Sunny Beach resort

Sunny Beach is the biggest sea resort in Bulgaria and it is real alternative to the Spanish resorts with its more than 4 km long beach which somewhere is up to 100 meters wide. The resort attracts more international fans of the sun than any other resort in the country. The beach is one of the best in Bulgaria, offering all sorts of attractions from mini golf to parachuting. There are also many lovely and lively restaurants and bars where you can have fun during the whole day. If you are looking for a safe and comfortable resort where you can improve your tan, this is the right place to go.

Sunny Beach can be seen as a small island, because there are very few tourists who are willing to leave its sun and golden beaches during their vacation. The most common destination for those who still want to visit other interesting places on the Bulgarian coast is the nearby Nessebar. The high quality comes at the right price and Sunny Beach is considered as one of the most expensive places for summer vacation in Bulgaria.

Sveti Vlas resort

Sveti Vlas is one of the newest sea resorts on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria and it is located only 5 km north of Sunny Beach. The village was originally founded by the Thracians, who called the ancient settlement Larissa and was later renamed in honor of St. Vlas. Despite the ancient history of the resort, there are almost no historical monuments. Nowadays, it is a place where you can see many luxury hotels and apartment complexes, awesome bars and restaurants. There is opened the first private marina in Bulgaria with capacity for 300 yachts in 2007. The port also has a luxury hotel and restaurant complex.

The center of St. Vlas is located near the beach. There you can find post office, bank, interesting restaurants, cafes, shops and some Internet clubs. The narrow beaches are one of the best available in Bulgaria, but in comparison with those in Sunny Beach they are much calmer and less crowded with tourists. The water is shallow and provides a good opportunity for water sports like jet skiing, diving, windsurfing and banana boat.
The above resorts are just small part of everything that Bulgaria has to offer. There are also many resorts and towns where you can rent an apartment for really great price. The mild climate and the warm water will definitely make your summer vacation in Bulgaria unforgettable. The entertainment is everywhere, so pack your luggage and head to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. You will never regret it.

Clear waters can be tough to come by, but clear waters which contain points of interest are even tougher to find. The shores of Gran Canaria are home to some of the best scuba diving in the Canary Islands and certainly worth exploring whether you are splashing about with a snorkel or are a serious diver. The warm sub-tropical waters are teaming with wildlife both exotic and varied, so when you’re taking a dive there’ll be plenty to see.

For something a little more action-packed, Gran Canaria sees itself as one of the world’s best windsurfing locations and in previous years has produced many a champion surfer and been home to competitions and championships which draw in the world’s windsurfing communities.

The winds which lend so well to windsurfing also produce some of the best waves for surfing and bodyboarding, leading it to be referred to the ‘European Hawaii’ by experience surfers. You can look forward to waves up to 5m in size when the conditions are right, some awesome conditions begging to be tamed. When staying at Anfi Beach Club you are only a few moments away from access to all the equipment and tuition you might need to spend your time away on or in the water.

No matter where you are in Gran Canaria you’re never far from the vibrant and energetic nightlife so many seek out after sundown. For the most vigorous club atmosphere you should head to the South of the island, near the Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas; the area is home to hundreds of bars, clubs and discos which cater for just about every taste you can imagine.

For those staying at Anfi Beach, which is about 20km west of Maspalomas, you are still within travelling distance if you still want to experience the main hub of clubs and bars, however, you’re also far enough out to escape from it completely should you wish. The nightlife surrounding the Anfi Beach is slightly lower key the Maspalomas, but you still have access to bars, restaurants, live entertainment and clubs, both onsite and offsite in the surrounding areas.

If you are more inclined to leave your resort and explore the island, Gran Canaria is home to some of the most dramatic and picturesque scenery of the Canary Islands. Because of the island’s volcanic beginnings the terrain is largely rocky and far from flat giving any one with a passion for hiking or trekking plenty to explore as well as some breathtaking vistas which really must be seen to be believed.

So whether it is just for the beaches or the waters, the nightlife or the nature – there is really something to be found for everyone on Gran Canaria, all within easy reach of Anfi Beach Club.

In France, “le camping” is something of a religion. Families take everything but the kitchen sink to their favourite destinations – often setting up for a whole month of alfresco living.
Almost every commune has a “camping municipal” a publicly provided campsite – which are cheaper than the private ones and usually have excellent facilities. These can be particularly useful if you’re only staying for one or two nights as you travel around. A couple of good Vango sleeping bags and a cheap tent are all you’ll need any time between May and September.

Where you decide to go camping in France is entirely dependent on what you most love to do. France is a very diverse country with varied landscapes.

In the north, the coastline is rugged, while the south coast offers classic Mediterranean stretches of golden beaches.

Inland, the landscape is lush with landscapes carved by famous rivers such as the Loire and the Dordogne, whilst the Alps offer a mountainous landscape beloved by outdoor sports enthusiasts in every season for different reasons. You’ll need you best Merrell gear during any season here.

Also, the Vendée, Royan and the South-West along the Atlantic coast are perfect for family holidays camping in France. There are huge stretches of open sandy beach and the sea is perfect for swimming and water sports during the summer. Be warned, though, it can be exposed in these regions during the hottest months as the beaches are so open and the landscape generally flat.

Wherever you decide to camp in this magnificent and hugely varied country – you won’t be disappointed by the camping facilities.

Bon voyage!
