Favorable climate, warm mild winter on the coast allows you to open the holiday season in May, and it will last until September. Sea, sun, warmth, clean sandy beach, developed infrastructure - this is Bulgaria. The air temperature in summer is kept within the range from +200С to 300С.
The geographical features of this European country allow the development of beach holidays in summer and ski resorts, interesting in winter. The beach season usually begins with the beginning of summer. The temperature in Bulgaria in June is so high that the sea is already starting to warm up, and the fresh breeze on the coast does not allow the heat to develop.
Ski season starts in mid-December and lasts until mid-April. Snowy winters and slight frosts make it wonderfully enjoyable.

Charming landscapes delight the eye. Sea swimming is possible from the beginning of the month, but the water is still cool. The protection of the coast from the northern winds provides an almost Mediterranean climate there.
The first apricots and cherries appear on the markets. Rainy weather continues, but the precipitation is not so intense. Since the temperature in Bulgaria does not rise in Juneabove +260С, it is impossible to get sunburn while basking in the warm rays.

Midsummer is more like a summer resort weather. The low temperature in Bulgaria in June is replaced by the July full-fledged heat. The air is filled with the scents of summer.

If the heat is not to your liking, then you should spend your vacation on the north coast. The coolness of the sea breeze does not allow you to "fry" on the beach. The night is as warm as the day. The amazing Julai festival, which lasts all night, ends at dawn. Many people meet the first rays of the sun, waiting for renewal and purification in their light.

Winter Resorts
Among the age-old coniferous forests on the slopes of the breathtakingly beautiful Rila Mountains, skiing is a real pleasure. The skiing season begins in mid-December. By this time, a stable snowcover, trails of different difficulty levels will suit both amateurs and true professionals.
