Bulgaria has become a hot destination for Serbian tourists looking for an affordable vacation. Low accommodation prices, vibrant nightlife, and proximity make it attractive, but is it all sunshine and roses? While some praise spots like Sunny Beach, Nessebar, and Sozopol, others slam the sea quality as downright awful.
A heated debate is raging on social media about the Bulgarian coast. One user described the sea as a “cornfield” and “salty Danube,” while others complain about water full of algae and grass, deterring many from swimming. Even Sunny Beach, famous for its parties and clubs, gets flak for dirty water.
Locals reportedly love Serbian tourists and treat them well, but if you’re after luxury and crystal-clear waters, you might be disappointed. Most hotels offer pools as an alternative to swimming in the sea, which says a lot about the water quality issues.
This casts a shadow over Bulgaria’s popularity as a destination, but price remains the main draw for tourists. While Greece and Montenegro remain favorites, Bulgaria is positioning itself as a cheaper alternative—but at what cost?
If you’re willing to sacrifice sea cleanliness for a lower price and good fun, Bulgaria might be your spot. But if you cherish the sea and cleanliness, think twice before booking.
So, what do you think? Is Bulgaria truly a tourist paradise or just a cheap substitute with problems? Drop a comment, maybe you’ll surprise us!
