Can anyone give me some advice please?

I`ve been offered an apartment to stay in on a private complex in St Vlas.
Is it a safe area?
Are there restaurants/bars etc...
How far away is a bigger resort?

I don`t really want to jump in without some help first as i`ve never been to bulgaria before.... people have put me off up until now saying that there are lots of Gypsies just waiting to mug you

, there are lots of mafia around and that it is not safe to stay anywhere but the main resorts..... How true, if at all, is any of this?

And lastly is there such a thing as cheap flights to Bulgaria? Or would i be better off booking a package and staying in a big resort?

Any info will be appreciated
Thanks xx

St.Vlas is a quiet area not far from Sunny Beach ( 10 mis on the bus ). Just recently seen developement so in comparison to Sunny Beach fairly quiet.
I think you'll find someone is filling your head with nonsense concerning Bulgaria. Ive seen more mafia men in the UK than you will ever see in SB and as for people waiting to mug you etc.,. I have been going for some 5 years now and have never seen trouble although I have heard of occasional things. SB is no different to home, take care if you are out alone and don't flash loads of gold around.
Book a package I would say is the best option ( Look at Balkan Holidays )

Yes i think they are the ones basil, i dont think they are yet completed but will be soon.

I am swaying more towards booking a package deal with it being my first time, i could aways visit St Vlas and see what i think then use the apartment another time if i like it.

Hi Lou Lou,
Think this is the desicion I would take as well, we only returned from Sunny beach last week, and I'm "browsing the net" hubby is keen on June 2008, so far, travel republic.co.uk are ticking all the right boxes with prices, flights etc

Re: Help with some questions please!

I would say stay at the apartment. Vlas is a lovely area so you will have plenty to do and I would imagine it to be nicer than a package deal (in my experience - I have done both).

Flights aren't cheap, but the accommodation I'm assumming is free (or reasonably cheap) so overall it will cost about the same as a package. With packages you tend to get a lot of all inclusive deals. You think you're on to a winner, but when you see how cheap and nice the restaurants are, you don't need all inclusive.
