Went out to Samokov town on business 4 years ago in September and eleven of us had a 3 course meal with beers and wine in a nice quality hotel and all for £33.
They were amazed when I left a 20 Lev tip.
I think that these prices in the resorts are artificially inflated because they all think we will pay whatever, especially the British.
it will be nice for people who have never gone out of the resorts to visit the authentic bulgarian towns you will find prices much cheaper, a real welcome wherever you go, traditional bulgarian culture, mind you the more we go to these places guess what the prices will go up there too we cannot win
Prices we payed last week;
Pint strongbow 7levs
stella / carling 7levs
own brand beer 5levs
redbull 7levs
main course london chicken, white hart 18 levs
taxi from cedar heights to ski centre 2 15levs (one way)
taxi cedar heights to resort center 19levs(one way)
hot choc 4-6levs
hot choc brandy 12levs
Ye i must admit i was there over christmas and the prices have shot up the restaurant mourgavets at the top of the mountain i paid 30 levs for a hamburger a hanfull of chips and a cup of tea (dont tell the boys i was drinking tea on hols)
Daniel, that has little or nothing to do with the actual price increase in lev, it simply means that we get double whammied when we pay. People are complaining about the price increase NOT the extra we pay due to exchange rates.
