Hi Andie,
Also been looking for flights to Plovdiv and just seen your suggestion to Mark of a car rental firm who meets you at airport, takes you to wherever (Pamporovo) and leaves the car with you. Can you let me have contact details? Thanks.

Mark,

You raised a point about satnav earlier on. I have just bought a Tomtom Start for just under a hundred quid from Amazon, which I thought was a bargain. It has Bulgaria on it, and it "seems" to be able to plot the Sofia -Pamps route OK.

I am going out this weekend. If I get back I will post my thoughts on its performance, however if I end up in Uzbekistan or somewhere because of the satnav, you will never hear from me again and will know not to buy one !

It also has Homer ...

It also has Homer Simpson as its voice.

Doh !

Now that the road into Greece is complete, is flying into Kavala a realistic option? I gather it would be around a 2 hr transfer from there. Not much in the way of budgets flying in there either at the mo but its an alternative option for the future for Pamporovo perhaps.

Bad news for Plovdiv for 2010/2011 I have had a quick scoot at the tour op's & all seem to be flying into Sofia. So another quiet year for Pamps ahead I think.
