We are looking to relocate to Bulgaria next year and would love to know the areas all you nice people reside in !! I know everybody will think that there area is the best but would it be good for us? We do not have too many requirements,not too far from the coast, nearish to a town, and nursery school near by,looking forward to hearing from you all

There are some lovely places in Bulgaria but I think it would help if you said a little more about what your looking for ? in Town, in a village, or other etc you will get more response I feel if you did that good luck and i hope you find what your looking for

Probably in a larger village,its more the areas really we will be taking our grandaughter with us who is only 2 so a nursery would be nice,we are used to living by the sea here in Turkey but I think the price in Bulgaria being close to the sea would be prohibitive. Where we are at the moment there is very little to do (unless you drink a lot) so an area with a town nearby with good shops would be great. Oh yes and somewhere where i could drown a few maggots would be fantastic!!

We're in the market town of Kotel ... about 1.5 hours from the coast and Bourgas airport and one hour from Sliven with western supermarkets, shops, cinemas, hotels, etc.

The town of Kotel itself is lovely, surrounded by amazing scenery and mountains. Although classed as a 'town' it's fairly small, but does have all facilities for daily life:
twice weekly market, shops, restaurants, bars, doctors, chemists, schools, two hotels, etc., and is also a very historic place, being the birthplace of the Bulgarian Revolution.

Oh, and one of our neighbours, a retired professor, goes fishing just about every chance he gets as there are several rivers and lakes a few minutes drive from the town.
