Ive just read on another site that there is a large number of mafia in Borovets. They seem to run a couple of the bars and a majority of the (cough cough) gentlemens clubs
Anybody know which are the best to visit and which to stay clear of - maybe a friend told you what they were like if you dont want to admit it
haha!!re: Boro Mafia
you will have no problem with the mafia as long as you dont look for trouble then you wont get any. just go and enjoy yourself in a top resort

we didnt see any mafia or trouble there

You may hear lots of stories of Mafia in Bulgaria but as far as the tourists go they will only remain stories. You are a thousand times safer in Bulgarian tourist resorts than you are in the UK.re: Boro Mafia

re: Boro Mafia
The Mafia are definately in Boro. I obviously look like the bad type but was offered Coke and weed a number of times. Have a bit of a long story about the mafia but the morel of the story is whatever you do, do not annoy any Bulgarians!!!!Dont get me wrong by this post, I had an abosolutly wicked week and would happily go back again. To the normal tourist there wont be a problem at all, just seems to be after 5 in the morning when they had a few too many to drink.
