Visitors to Bulgaria are often surprised by the many diverse and stunning areas of natural beauty there are. For years a real effort has been made in order to preserve the country’s rich and unspoilt areas. Bulgaria is ecologically one of the purest countries in Europe, with exceptionally clear air and water resources.
There are 7 national parks and more than 3000 protected natural sites and 17 bio-spherical reserves (the greatest recorded number in Europe). There are also 419 protected animal species and 63 protected types of plant.
Bulgarians have a number of different traditional ceremonies, festivals and holidays. There are events dated centuries back, combining pagan with orthodox and folk elements. The Kukeri Festival is celebrated on 11 January in the region of the towns of Pernik and Dupnitsa. The participants, named Kukeri, wear traditional masks and costumes and perform ancient dances to drive away the evil spirits. Similar festivals take place at other parts of the country like the Rodopi and Strandja mountains.

A total of EUR 30 million will be invested in building the facilities, one located near Varna and the other near Balchik, according to Tsonko Tsonev, mayor of the Black Sea town of Kavarna. They are huge developments, with villas, apartments, shops, marinas etc. Gary Player has been reported as saying that the golf courses will meet the worlds highest standards.
