Does anybody know what the price is for a sleeve of cigarettes at Sofia airport? (If memory serves me correctly, we can't get them cheap at the airport coming out of the UK)
And secondly, we have found some great flights to come out for Christmas and are hoping to book our hotel while we are out. Can you book directly with the hotels or do we need to go through a tour operator? We are hoping to use the Malina Villas for a family stay for 10 nights over Christmas.

Each brand of cigarettes have a fixed price in Bulgaria. 200 cigarettes here depending on brand cost around 40 to 50 lev. For example 200 marlboro lights are I believe 50 lev, thats £21 or thereabouts. This price will not vary in Bulgaria whether it be fuel station, duty free or supermarket. I should see no problem in booking directly with the hotels but will check. Hope to meet you in Bobbys bar over the next week or soClaire

Hello Neil,
I was in Sofia airport in november just gone. The price of the lambert and butler sleeves were euros 25.
I used a debit card to pay for them but they charged the cigs in leva, when back in uk i realised the exchange rate they used at the airport was not great so ended up paying a bit more. remember to ask for euro price, normally my bank gives a decent rate but at the airport they issued a rate in leva against the euro and i did not realise this until i got home.

Yes you can book directly with Malina Villas. This is their website, malina-villas-borovets-hotels.boulgaria.netI have not made a spelling mistake!!!! It is spelt boulgaria!!!!
re: A couple of quickies.....
Across Bulgaria the rate is fixed 1.95583 lev to 1 euro.re: A couple of quickies.....
Hi Franc,Am i right in saying that if i did buy in the airport i would be better off asking to pay in euros. I only had a small bag with me so did not wish to buy cigs in Samokov and carry through security at sofia.
