Hi All
We were in Bansko this March and had the best time of our lives... but were brought crashing down to earth as others we met had come through specialist holiday companies, they had paid a lot less for there 2 weeks than I had and were in a hotel close to the gondola lift.

Having said that have you looked at booking flight's and accomadtion youself? Wizz air fly to Sofia from Luton you do have to change though. Or Ba fly direct. Couple of english owend Chalet's in Bansko @ very good prices.
Someone said some months ago that there would not be any other companies allowed by Balkan as they had the resort sewn up. Why has this suddenly changed now?????????
