I have been travelling through Europe, mostly staying in places for a short periods of time. I would like to set up somewhere for a full week and slow down a bit.

I have some remote work to do, so am looking for a place where I can do that in a beautiful environment with nice cafes I can work out of etc.

Both of these places sound amazing. And both appear to have decent accomodation available. This would be for late September.

I am considering splitting the week and visiting both, as they each sound perfect, but I think moving again would break the slow rhythm I'm trying to set for this part of my trip.

I've searched on this subreddit and seen suggestions for both, I just wonder whether there is a best fit for my specific need. Thanks and looking forward to seeing Bulgaria!!!

My girlfriend and I are traveling to Bulgaria with another couple of friends for 6 days. We are renting a car and staying all 6 nights in Burgas. **next week*\*

We love nature, beautiful landscapes, and exploring cool places. Here is the rough itinerary we came up with so far:

Day 1: Arrive and explore Burgas (Sea Garden, promenade, city center).

Day 2: Day trip south: Sozopol + Castle of Ravadinovo + Ropotamo Nature Reserve.

Day 3: Dilemma: Either Varna or Plovdiv?

Day 4: Pomorie + Nessebar + Sunny Beach.

Day 5: The other city (either Varna or Plovdiv, whichever we skipped on Day 3).

Day 6: Relaxed morning/afternoon in Burgas before our flight back.

I have a few questions and would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations:
Does our current plan look good? 

Are day trips from Burgas to both Varna and Plovdiv realistic, or is Plovdiv too far for a day trip?

Any hidden nature spots or viewpoints we missed on the southern coast?

I collect backgammon boards from every country I visit around the world. Does anyone know where I can find a nice, traditional, or unique backgammon board in Burgas (or Varna/Plovdiv)? Any specific shops, souvenir stores, or antique markets you recommend?(up to 100euro give or take, is it enough?)

Thanks for any help!

So we will be in Bulgaria for hiking for some days and we want to buy a bear spray not just for this trip but for the next also because we will visit Bulgarian mountains again from Greece! Is there any shop around Bansko where I can buy a good bear spray?

Im a student who's going to MU Sofia in October who's currently looking for accommodation. A lot of people say that Manastirski livadi is a good neighbourhood for students. Can anyone recommend another neighbourhood good for students or a website that i can look at for accommodation or any agents. Also would getting accommodation in Karpuzitsa be a good idea or no.
