5 Star Spa Resort,

Bulgaria is situated in South-eastern Europe, in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula.

It has a varied relief of high peaks and sprawling mountain ranges, large plains and deep valleys, over 500 curative mineral springs. Wild forests cover almost one-quarter of its territory. The edelweiss, a protected rare flower, grows in the high alpine areas. Bulgaria is famous for its oleaginous rose grown throughout the Kazanluk valley, also known as the Valley of Roses. Bulgaria is also a true wine country, the fifth major wine-producer in the world.

Bulgarian land is an ancient crossroad and remembers many a venerable civilisation write page after page of its turbulent history. Bronze and iron spears and arrows, ruins of cities and palaces, wise words carved on stones or marble pillars, written on parchment or paper, tell the wonderful tale of past millennia.

The Thracians bequeathed us the famous tombs at Kazanluk and Sveshtari, and the unique gold and silver treasures of Panagyurishte and Rogozen. The Hellenes built the beautiful coastal towns of Apollonia (Sozopol), Anhialo (Aheloi), and Messambria (Nessebar); and the Romans founded ancient Aescus, Nicopolis-ad-Istrum and Nove. Huns, Goths, and Avars came and went. Some time in the mid-7th century, the Slavs crossed the Danube from the North and settled on the land as far South as the Adriatic. A few years later, the Bulgars led by Khan Asparouh took hold of what is now Northern Bulgaria, founded the nation and gave it its name.

Most of the eight million Bulgarians are Christians. They live together peacefully with minorities - Muslims and Jews. Eastern Orthodox monasteries and churches, and Muslim mosques preserve ancient treasures of religious art and attract thousands of visitors. Religious holidays are openly celebrated and the traditional denominations registered with the government enjoy broad freedoms.

For the last 15 years, Bulgaria has been a democracy with a freely elected parliament. It became a full member of NATO in 2004 and  joined the European Union in January 2007.
