A wonderful combination of stunning cities in Bulgaria and Romania!. Combine: Varna (known as “The pearl of the Bulgarian Black Seaside”. Historically known as Odessos -Ancient Greek city-, grew from a Thracian seaside settlement to a major seaport on the Black Sea), next, take a flight to Sofia (Bulgaria’s capital and its largest city. A youthful city, with a scattering of onion-domed churches, Ottoman mosques and stubborn Red Army monuments that lend an eclectic, exotic feel, as well as its finest museums, galleries, restaurants and clubs) and finally a transfer will take you to Bucharest (known in the past as "The Little Paris". Bucharest has changed a lot lately, and today it has become a very interesting mix of old and new that has little to do with its former reputation). This is a flexible package.

Varna
Varna, the third-largest city in Bulgaria, is the largest of the Black Sea resort towns. Varna is well-known for its archaeological sites and finds, such as the 6,000-year-old Gold of Varna, the oldest gold treasure in the world, and the Roman Baths which is the largest of its kind in the Balkans. Many people use Varna as a jumping-off point to explore the rest of the Black Sea Coast, but it is a popular tourist destination in its own right. It is one of the cultural centers of Bulgaria, and it is also home to one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in the country. Be sure to visit one of the hot thermal spring "sea baths" which dot the coast.
