From memory, most posters on this & other boards seem to quote that they have been charged around 50/60 Leva (around £20-£23 at current exchange rates) from Burgas airport to Sunny Beach - high by 'normal' Bulgarian taxi standards.

Always agree a price before getting into a taxi.

Hi Tepe, just got the prices for 2008 from the guy who does our transfers to Golden Dreams which is close to the centre of Sunny beach,
Quote "Bourgas - Sunny Beach - for 3 - 100lv return ( 50euros) - around 35
GBP
Bourgas Sunny Beach - for 5 - 150lv return( 75 euros) - around
55GBP

Please note that the prices would be in leva/euro this year but also
can be paid in GBP , according to the exchange rate"
These are return prices and apply for anytime, regards, Paul.

Hi Tony & patka.

You both know that the Bulgarians will do all they can to help when you treat them like people not servants. :yikes :que

I have apartments in St Vlas and when we go there we use them for our transfers to/from the airport and they only charge 50 levs each way. They are very reliable and are waiting for you outside arrivals at the airport as you arrive.

If any anyone wants their contact details send me a PM. I dont want to be seen as posting blatant adverts for them.

We went to Sunny Beach in October 2007 and paid £30 return from Bourgas Airport to the resort centre. Before going we pre-booked a taxi using the internet and the service was excellent. The price we were quoted was in sterling and we paid the driver in sterling.

WE get airport pickup and return from Bourgas to St Vlas, welcome pack,
and all washing and cleaning done when we leave for 185lev. What we
think is a good price. If anyone wants their number please PM.

Thank you everyone for your advice/info. We have found it extremely useful.

I asume it would be cheaper to pre-book than to get one outside the airport when we land?

Depends who you've booked with and whether your holiday is a package or not - airport transfers have always been included in the price of the Balkan Holidays packages that I've done in the past.

Most of the above posts probably relate to posters who have their own apartments or who have booked flights & accommodation separately.

Much better to pre-book a taxi before you go. I use fresh accommodation . co . uk. They charge £18 each way - not the cheapest, but very reliable and you pay in sterling before you go and don't have to worry about getting levs.

Hi guys,

We are doing flight & accomodation seperate. It works out to be the cheapest option for us.

Thanks for all the advice. Were looking into every option we can. :tup :wave:

Hi,
I've spent all day checking out forums for Bulgaria and this seems by far the most comprehensive. However, most boards in general allow PM'ing.

can i ask AdamV about his transfer taxi contact at the airport? I too have an apartment just up the road from you in St Vlas. This is the first time seeing it in May and looking for cheaper transfers than 100 Lev. 50 Lev sounds a bargain.

most appreciated if you can help me out

cheers
