Hi ftm21,

The mini markets certainly sell disposable nappies, milk, etc., but whether they will be brands with which you will be familiar is rather doubtful, I suspect.

As far as the kettle is concerned - yes, you just need a standard European 2-pin (round pins) adapter.

you'll have no problems with the kettle as long as you have the basic 3 pin to 2 pin adapter

the supermarkets tend to sell most things so i'm sure you will be able to get baby milk of some sort if they do not have your prefered brand

they have loads and loads of baby clothes and some real nice stuff for babies to all at dead cheap prices (might help when packing) i know this because the wife kept looking for a give for my baby niece

Is there much to do in the area for a three year old toddler?

Albena is a very nice but relatively small resort - your 3-year-old should be fine there.

Balchik is just a small town with a working port - not really a resort. It's also pretty hilly.

The form E111 is of no use in Bulgaria. For information re obtaining any form of medical treatment see -

:D hi
took our little one,make sure you take enough nappies with you for your stay as we could nt find the right size for him, the formula milk is only nestle and a foriegn make take your own as you dont want to upset your babys stomach, the chemist were the best places to go for nappies wipes etc, if your baby is fussy with food take her favorites with you,i would advise you take some juice with you as the stuff they have is full of e numbers, hope this is what you need.

We are taking our baby daughter to Sunny Beach for the first two weeks in September (she will be 15 months old on arrival). I am a bit wary about taking her abroad and even more so after reading some of the reviews re food, beggars, prostitutes etc. I have been to Turkey on several occassions and loved it. If it is anything like Turkey then I will be happy and know that there are just some people who forget we have the same common problems on our own doorstep.

If anyone could help elleviate my fears - big thanks

Hi marcola,

Well past the baby stage (thank Heavens! :wink:) but when I was last in Sunny Beach, I recall thinking that I would be more than happy to take the grandchildren there, because of the generally safe feel of the place.

Regards,

Baldur

In my experience very similar to Turkey, but with none of the hard sell and hassle. The food on offer to tourists is also similar, what I call 'European holiday resort', but real Bulgarian food has no over-spicy surprises.

The Bulgarians love children and really spoil them, so no problems there.

The reports I have read regarding beggars and prostitutes are greatly exaggerated. Depends where you go, but the chances are you won't come across any.

As previous said the bulgarians love the children. Only downside, we noticed was pavements where uneven and chucks missing sometimes, so could be fun with a pushchair!. This was in Golden Sands and I know there were plans for the gov. to address the roads & pavements prior to joining the EU. But you will have a great time anyway. Yvette

I took my 10 month old granddaughter to Sunny beach last May. She loved it :lol: the Bulgarian people were lovely to her, it took us twice as long to get anywhere as everyone wanted to have a chat with her. by the end of the weeks she was on first name terms with the kitchen staff, bar staff and all the cleaners at our hotel :lol:
Yes the pavements were a pain but no more so than the ones in Turkey.

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS DAFT BUT ARE NAPPIES EASY TO BUY, DONT FANCY CARRYING TWO WEEKS SUPPLY?

Yes, but maybe not the makes you are used to, are available in the mini-markets.

Hi VQ,

Yes, you'll find disposable nappies in most Mini Markets or Chemists shops (Аптека).
