When my wife and I got up before choosing, where it is best to relax with children, the reviews of experienced tourists helped us. Now I consider my duty to tell a little about our beach holiday in Albene.
From Varna Airport to Albena, we got at the hotel transfers - it is somewhat more expensive, but much easier. And here Albena is a small resort on the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea. The town is located on the territory of the largest Natural Park of Baltata, which turned our vacation to the sea in an exceptionally useful and recreational event. On the coast, many hotels and guesthouses. Many hotels offer good, modern service. Some work on the "All Inclusive" system. Almost all hotels are located either in the park or on the seashore. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes around them that offer a varied menu to your choice.
The beach in Albena is a special topic and worthy of a separate description. You will find a lot of places on Earth, where there is a sandy beach width of about 150 meters covered with a pure golden sand. Sunset to the water is gentle and long, which influenced our choice, as it is that the beach is well suitable for recreation with children. The children were in admiration from the beach and the sea. Rapping and getting tired so much that they did not even have to please sleep. Additionally, Albena's beach rest offers volleyball and basketball courts, football stadiums, tennis courts, as well as various water visits, water skiing and surfing.
The average temperature of the air in summer in Alben is about 28 degrees, the sea in the midst of the season is heated to 25. In September, you can also swim, there the water temperature remains about 22 degrees.
Satisfied with the beach a little, we took a tour to the Botanical Garden of Balchik. This is a resort town a 20-minute drive from Albena. On a huge territory of the garden, hundreds of species of plants grow, cascading waterfalls, greenhouses, huge cacti, alleys and robust, etc. They said that there is there the Summer Palace of the Romanian Queen, but we did not reach there. For those who are interested, at the entrance / leaving the garden there is a street with souvenir shops, with more democratic prices.
The minus of the Bulgarian resort was for me a large number of Bulgarians with small kids. They are so loud and shridly yell about and without reason, and together with their parents. Although sometimes it looks funny.
In general, Albena, we really liked, a quiet family resort, with a beautiful beach and affectionate sea. When the water park is open, we will arrive there.
