borovets couple friendly?

As dedicated fan of bulgaria(2 seasons pamps/1 in borovets) i hope no locals take offence to this question...its just that i promised the other half that i'd inquire.
Does Bansko have the same problem as Borovets,by which i mean the ladies of the night,or "Natashas" as i heard some of the locals call them last year!!
My two years in pamp's before last year were as a single fella,and even thou they wernt in any way obtrusive,there were at least 3-4 girls working the bars around the resort.. ...

My two years in pamp's before last year were as a single fella,and even thou they wernt in any way obtrusive,there were at least 3-4 girls working the bars around the resort...but i would seriosly be surprised if any of you family men or couples even noticed them...but as a single guy i was propositioned on several occasions...and a polite thanks but no thanks always worked,and was never taken offensivly.
Last year thou,a newly engaged (or is that entrapped??!!) man,we went to borovets,as i wanted to try somthing differant.
Much to my surprise(and her disgust),it wasnt uncommen to be hit up when we were in a bar as a couple...or even in the lobby of the hotel on one occasion....one lady(thou lady might be a bit generous,as she was no older than 16-18 i would guess!!) even suggested that she could make us BOTH happy for the night!!
Now me,i could see the funny side of this...but the missus on the other hand was openly(and much to my embaresment verbally!!) disgusted by this.
So...here i am,just checking you understand.......because even if Bankso has got this element it wont be a problam,just a change of venue back to Pamp's,where at least the girls are a lot more subtle!!

re: borovets couple friendly?

I live in Bansko and up to now have never seen the slightest hint of this behaviour..... Bansko is 1st and foremost a normal everyday working town, so to be honest I don't think this behaviour would so readily accepted. That is unless I'm being nieve and walking around with my eyes shut!!!!!!

Hope this puts your mind at rest

re: borovets couple friendly?

I went to BORO this year with my family and have to say that the only time I even knew they existed was one evening when looking for a place to eat we passed one of the "ladies" handing out leaflets. She didn't offer one to me...(what me ugly or sumit???), but I heard the conversation she was having with a group of lads so I could tell what service was on offer.
BORO is great the missus and kids had a great time and we will be back!!!!
