Travel guru Simon Calder says this destination is 'very good value'
Anyone planning a summer holiday in Europe who doesn't want to break the bank should consider a holiday in the Balkans, one of the country's leading travel experts has said. In an interview with the Express, Simon Calder said: 'If you want a bargain destination, then I would head for the Balkans - Bulgaria is always very good value for package holidays.' Bulgaria shares borders with Greece and Turkey, and enjoys a similar warm climate.
Sunny Beach is full of amusements, from bungee jumps to slides and rollercoaster riders. A number of crazy golf courses also line the sand.

The ancient city offers beautiful views of the Black Sea. Cobbled streets lead to old churches and family-run restaurants serving fresh seafood and Bulgarian wine.
