Hi everybody. My parents have just got their visas through to live permanently in Bulgaria, Avren to be precise.
Does anybody know this area, and how far is it to Varna? My
parents are hoping there will be an Internet cafe in Varna, so that she can keep in contact with us, by Email. Is there such a thing around this area? Any help would be appreciated.......... even if its just to tell me what this area of Bulgaria is like.
its 25km (about 18 mils) south of varna take a quick look at this link
What made them choose this particuar place, cromwell?
Hi Mixter! They wanted to be quite near Varna, as they liked that area. The house they have bought is in a little Village called Krusha (think thats how you spell it ). Ive seen the video footage they have shot of it, and it looks lovely from what ive seen. They even have a distant view of the sea from their bedroom window. Ive personally never been to Bulgaria, so cant possibly comment about them going to live over there. Not somewhere i would have chosen. I think another reason why they bought in Bulgaria is because its so cheap when you get there, the cost of living etc. Dont know when i will get the chance going over though. xx
Hi Cromwell, sorry cant be much help with your specific question about the area as I've only been to Sunny Beach but I think your parents will really love Bulgaria as a whole. Its certainly a very good investment for them as the property prices will escalate over the next few years. You'll just have to get over there and visit them next summer!
Hi Sallymac! Not sure if i will be able to get over next summer........ have to see how our finances are first. We are booked to go to Cyprus for our holiday in July. Do want to visit though, it looks ans sounds lovely, Bulgaria. xx
PS, am missing you all in Gen Chat! Am still off line at home following our house move and only get 5 minutes here or there at work as we're really busy just now. Hoping to be back in the land of the living by the weekend!
Avren is, as previously said, around 25Km South West of Varna. Krusha, however, is just over 26Km from Avren (and just over 27Km from Varna) by road, according to the bgmaps.com routefinder.
Krusha is closer to the coast than Avren and, gratifyingly, farther away from the factories and power station of the Varna ship canal/Devnya area.

There are Internet cafes in Varna so no problems there and good shopping. If they got the Internet at home, however, they could subscribe to something like Skype, an Internet phone service and keep in touch with you at local rates.
You might reconsider going next year as I've discovered that BA have a scheduled direct flight to Varna from London twice weekly starting 25 March 2006 (Wednesdays and Saturdays). It doesn't appear to be too expensive. You can get to BG (Sofiya) by Wizzair from Luton (cheaply)and to Varna by Malev, but in both cases you have to change in Budapest - great place to visit, but adds hugely to time. I shall certainly use the BA option next year. Hope your folks enjoy it.
