Why choose Bulgaria
- Affordable prices — Bulgaria remains one of the most budget-friendly destinations in Europe. Accommodation, meals, and entertainment cost significantly less than at Mediterranean resorts, with a comparable level of service.
- Wide sandy beaches — the Black Sea coastline stretches for 378 km with dozens of beaches awarded the Blue Flag. The gentle slope into the water and the warm sea make Bulgarian resorts ideal for families with children.
- Visa-free regime — Kazakhstan citizens can stay in Bulgaria for up to 90 days without a visa, which significantly simplifies trip planning from Almaty and saves time on paperwork.
- Familiar culture and language — Slavic culture, the Cyrillic alphabet, and familiar dishes create a sense of comfort. Many Bulgarians understand Russian, removing the language barrier.
- Rich history — ancient Thracian tombs, Roman amphitheaters, medieval fortresses, and picturesque monasteries. Bulgaria is one of the oldest countries in Europe with a history of more than 1,300 years.
Popular Bulgarian resorts
Sunny Beach
The largest and most popular seaside resort in Bulgaria with an 8-kilometer beach of fine golden sand.

This is where tourists from Almaty most often head for an affordable beach holiday.
Golden Sands
The second-largest resort in Bulgaria, located 17 km from Varna. Golden Sands got its name thanks to a wide beach with golden sand and stands out for its greener territory — the resort is located on the grounds of a nature park. It combines beach holidays, thermal springs, and balneotherapy.
Nessebar
An ancient town on a rocky peninsula whose Old Town is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Narrow cobbled streets, medieval churches, and traditional wooden houses neighbor the modern beaches of New Nessebar. An ideal place for those who want to combine cultural and beach holidays.

The fourth-largest city in Bulgaria with a beautiful Sea Garden park and a long central beach. Burgas is the gateway to the southern coast: from here it's easy to reach Sunny Beach, Nessebar, and Sozopol. The city is famous for its lakes with healing mud and the Sand Sculpture Festival.
When to go
The beach season in Bulgaria runs from June to September. Summer air temperatures are +25...+32 °C, and the Black Sea warms up to +23...+27 °C. The best months for a beach holiday are July and August, when the sea is at its warmest. June and September offer milder weather and lower prices — an excellent choice for families with small children and those who prefer a quieter holiday.
