re: spending money

We just got back. Evenings are really casual - jeans, combats, etc. As for cost - depends what your tipple is and how much! I drink white wine and hubby prefers beer (large). We were paying 5.50 leva (about £2) per round in our hotel, 6.50 leva in Apres Ski bar.
Food is cheap in resort - we paid around 27 leva (just under £9) for a three course meal and drinks for two. It's more expensive on the slopes - a light lunch of soup, bread and drinks cost around 23 leva, a pizza cost about 14 ...

re: spending money

It was wicked! We stayed at the Elina, which is about 20 minutes walk from centre. Mourgavets is right in middle of everything and nightlife is brilliant! It was snowing when we arrived and conditions were perfect for our first day. The snow did deteriorate as the week went on (it was very sunny some days) - but only on the lower slopes. The slopes from mid-station upwards were excellent - super skiing on red and blue runs. We've already booked again for next year

re: spending money

350 pounds but we are pretty big drinkers so 300 should do you plenty ..... the streets at night can be either icey or covered in snow so heels isnt advised, most women tend to wear jeans and o top with a heavy jacket at night.. Wear what u would wear if u were going for a few drinks on a sunday afternoon,,, casual but sexy for us guys Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Was a bit quiet over there otherwise went to Apres Ski BAr & Daks.. Dont go to spiders ( i think) its the nightclub in Perelik... very strange all Bulgarians and Police inside the door... Every night we wore jeans & tops or Combats & tops its not dressy at all over there... none of us bought heels only wedge boots . We spent about 500 euro which included eating out most days & nights & drinking every night, went on skidoos, went to ski instructors show & had massage in hotel...
Any questions???

re: spending money

You could wear them but prob would kill yourself!!! You dont have very far to walk and mostly walking on raod all the time. When it snowed day we arrived there was no way of wearing heels... To be honest noone wuld really notice and you can walk from your hotel through the shopping mall straight to the Apres ski Bar, Italian rest, Nightclub and just near to Daks without even going outside!!!

The Skidoos were great we had big group so had fun.. The guys were at the back of the row and realised no instructor behind them so they had the best fun racing each other and messing .. If you go .. try go in the mniddle or back and every so often slow down and let the one in front get ahead then you can really speed to catch up.....!!!
