Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Rip off

I have just returnded from Bulgaria and cannot believe how high the prices relative to the cost of living.

I paid 3 leva for a hot chocolate.The average wage in bulgaria per hour is roughly 3 leva also.

Average wage here is about £10 a hour- so its like us in the UK £10 for a hot chocolate.

Scandoulous prices therefore the Skiresorts are a rip off-RELATIVELY.

re: Rip off

I know the real Bulgaria,these prices are for tourists and rich Bulgarians,in the sorounding towns its very different

re: Rip off

re: Rip off

yep tourist prices, prices for a kit kat was 4 lev at top of gondola area but only 1 lev at bottom outside the station, prices did vary a bit for certain products

re: Rip off

re: Rip off

Remember though that this is a seasonal resort and therefore they only make money for 4 months of the year.

3 lv. is about J1. Stop complaining and drink your hot chocolate ....

re: Rip off

Sorry I don't agree. We ate out 5 nights, didn't stint on anything and spent £200. Try doing that in any of the alpine resorts.
