The best little hotels from Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and Albania

Veleka Guesthouse, Sinemorets

Gönderen Balkanatolia Saturday, September 26, 2009 yorum (0)


Sinemorets, one of the last Bulgarian Black-Sea coast villages before the Turkish border, during communist times was a forbidden area and until a few years ago used to be a hidden secret among nature addicted individual visitors. Since then some small touristic development has taken place, but still Sinemorets - with its unspoilt village life and incredibly beautiful natural beaches - is by far the best remote place on the whole coast.

Situated between famous Butamjata beach and endless virgin subtropical forests, Sinemorets attracts not only beach tourists but also nature and culture lovers: Nearby Strandzha Mountains are one of least known regions in Europe and more than worth a visit. You can find there genuine villages with traditional houses and extremely friendly locals.

Cute Veleka Hotel is waiting for with its superb views on the Black Sea and astonishing sunrises.

Hotel Saint Nicholas, Melnik, Pirin

Gönderen Balkanatolia Monday, September 7, 2009 yorum (0)

Bulgaria's smallest town Melnik is a perfect combination of nature, history and architecture. When you arrive here for the first time, the huge sand-stone cliffs, clustered around silent white houses, one upon the other, with romantic bay-windows and peaceful yards, buried in greenery and tranquility of an aged glory and prosperity will cause your biggest admiration. This picturesque small town Melnik is situated among the whimsical sand pyramids – some of the most fascinating natural phenomena on the Balkans.

Melnik in older times used to be an important Balkan trade centre and an important culture centre within Ottoman Empire. The old aristocratic Melnik houses once belonged to Slavs, Greeks, Turks and Albanians. They are impressive with their architecture in conformity with the laws of nature, with their wealth, with their wine cellars, with the Bulgarian sense of practicality and beauty.

St Nicholas Hotel is situated at the best place in town; you have a lovely view to the old town and the famous cliffs from every window. The hotel's restaurant and own winery offer you bulgarian specialities and the delicious mature dark-red Melnik wine, which has lovers from many countries, especially Spain and Turkey.

Would you expect a cosy, comfortable Spa Hotel with a natural warm-sulfur-water pool in deep Southwest Bulgaria, far from big town? 

We discovered Spa Hotel Petreliski in remote Ognjanovo village, situated in romantic landscape, within green forests, on a wild river and in steep hills.
 
All rooms have bath-tubes with healthy 37° warm sulfur thermal water and are well-equipped. You can enjoy swimming in warm thermal water outside pool -even in cold snowy winter -, taste Bulgarian specialities in the hotel-own restaurant and go for excursions to nearby Rhodope Mountains with huge forests and muslim villages.

Open the window of your bedroom before sleep and the fresh air of silent forest valley nights will be an unforgettable experience for you, especially if you are a victim of big-town stress.
