Many thanks... I've just found the station on the web, and they are quoting a massive price rise to 19 lev
Thanks for your answer. Have you done the journey before? Sounds like a bit of a trek and I'm waiting to hear back from a Pamporovo-based person who does pick-ups, so if you're interested I'll let you know the cost... probably 200 Euro or more, so bus does sound like a good option if the journey is not too onerous.
It takes about 4 hours by bus - but the weather can effect the trip !!! By car, the quickest I have done the trip is 2 3/4 hours without stops, but that was in the summer.
1 lv inflation - might have to rethink my travel plans
I done the bus trip its easy and painless takes roughly 4 hours as the driver usually stops for a refreshment. Just watch the taxi from airport to the bus station should be 10lev maximum i got ripped off 1st time I done the journey.
