do not know availability in pamporov, but beware i was in sunny beach during the summer, the atm machines had been fitted with cloning devices, 6 weeks after i returned 20 cash withdraws had been made. i would suggest take cash or travellers cheques. i am in pamporov sunday and wont use machines again.
