Flights to Bulgaria and Driving to BulgariaWe know that you are making a big commitment when you decide to travel to Bulgaria. Because of this, we take the time to discuss your requirements in detail even before you book your flights. We can help you to plan your trip, to book your flights and to find suitable accommodation. We will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel. We will be your guides and representatives when you view our properties. However, we understand that you will also want time to yourself, to consider the properties that you have seen, and to relax and enjoy Bulgaria. We will not put you under any pressure at all.

Driving to Bulgaria from the UKYou can drive freely and safely across mainland Europe to Bulgaria. If you are taking a pet with you, and you intend to return to the UK, you will need a Pet Passport. You should also keep within the EU boundaries. Our suggested route is:
If your destination lies in the south or west of Bulgaria, you might prefer to journey down into Italy, take the ferry across into Greece, and drive up from there. Make sure that you fill up your petrol tank regularly, particularly as the evening draws close. In France, for example, some petrol stations are not manned overnight. Many UK credit and debit cards are not accepted by the petrol pumps there. If you run out of fuel on Saturday night, you can end up stranded until Monday morning! Make sure that you have at least third party insurance cover for all countries that you visit. (It is probable that your existing car insurance will cover you for all EU countries, but check before you leave home.) You will need to pay road tax at the Romanian and Bulgarian borders.
