Plovdiv!... How the hell did you manage to get flights there? - I thought everyone was now flying into Sofia, with its 4 hour transfer to Pamps.

OK Pete, thanks!.. I thought for a minute some UK tour operator was still using Plovdiv!.. Wishful thinking. I wonder if at some point in the future the tour operators will start to use Plovdiv again?

If Pamporovo is to return to being a busy resort once again then using Plovdiv is a must.

Just back from pamps today and I must say the resort is dead with a capital 'D' , apart from White Hart and Daks. Also a number of shops have closed down in the perilik shopping centre and also in the one across from the perilik, the transfer from pamps to sofia is awful, we as a group (quite a large party) will only return if the operators return to plovdiv otherwise its good bye from us, however the ski condtions were great all week. the investment is being put into the slopes etc. but its ...

Nigel, 2hrs 50mins? would you like to share your secret with the rest of us because its about 160 miles and about a third of that is through those twisting roads up through the mountains. It took us just over four hours although that did include a 20 minute stop at a garage.
