Gradually emerging from its post-Communist difficulties, Bulgaria is a country with outstanding mountain and coastal scenery, as well as antiquities. This guide focuses on the rich heritage from Thracian, classical, Byzantine, Ottoman Turkish and National revival periods. Bulgaria's best kept secrets include historic towns and villages, beautifully frescoed churches and fine beaches, unspoilt by building development. This book includes practical information for the business traveller and tourist alike. There are hotel and restaurant suggestions and maps of the major centres and sites.
