Vacation Rental Description
More mountain for your money! This newly-built, fully-furnished 52 sq.m penthouse apartment is ideally situated in Bansko Town. It has easy access to the Pirin Mountains (with skiing in winter, hiking in summer) and to the numerous attractions of Bansko itself (thousands of years of history, shopping, taverna-type restaurants, some with live music, extensive street markets, bars and museums). The building has a sauna and a supermarket immediately across the street. Nearby hotels offer other facilities to non-residents for a small fee. The Bansko Jazz Festival takes place in August. The Pirin National Park, its entrance only about 1.5 km from the apartment, is 274 sq.km and a World Heritage national park. In summer, the numerous lakes and the old pine woods make it a popular area for recreation. Bulgaria offers great beauty and value for money, compared with many other parts of Europe, and Bansko is one of Bulgaria’s highlights. Bansko Town is around 925m above sea level. From the southwest corner of town (400m from the apartment) the new gondola lift, built in 2003, takes you directly up the mountain to Bunderishka Polyana, at 1630m above sea level. Altogether Bansko boasts 65km of ski slopes in winter, for all ages and abilities, mostly between altitudes of 1800m and 2500m. The ski season normally lasts from mid-December until mid-April, sometimes as late as mid-May. 130 million euro was spent on the ski-lift system, which continues to be developed. Queues are relatively rare and the slopes are surprisingly uncrowded. 
Travel 
Sofia Airport has direct low-cost flights from: Dublin, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Manchester and other airports in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. It takes 2.5 hours by car from Sofia Airport to Bansko (we can arrange transfers for €90 one way €170 return). Long distance buses operate between Sofia and Bansko (these are cheaper but slower than by car and less direct). Local taxis are available in Bansko at reasonable cost and can be chartered for sightseeing well beyond Bansko. 
Distances 
Bansko is 160km south of Sofia, 80km from Melnik, 80km north of the Greek border and 80km east of the FYR of Macedonia. Other airports: Bulgaria - Plovdiv 140km, Greece - Thessalonika 240km, Macedonia - Skopje 160km. 
 
English is widely spoken and included on many restaurant menus in Bansko. A basic lunch for two can be had for around £13, including a bottle of local wine. Wine has been made for thousands of years in Bulgaria and some it is very good indeed, as is the local lager. Local fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and herbal teas are also of excellent quality.

    Bansko station is served by a scenic narrow-gauge mountain railway, which operates all year round and stops at all the villages between Septemvri and Dobrinishte. It is possible to take a local excursion or even to go all the way to or from Sofia (by changing at Septemvri). Fares are very cheap (about £4 all the way between Bansko and Sofia) but the total journey time is about 7 hours, much longer than by car or coach. The village of Banya, located only 5 km from Bansko, is renowned for its 27 thermal mineral springs. The town of Razlog is also a few minutes' drive from Bansko but has a competely different atmosphere.  
     
    If you wish to travel further afield, by hiring a car or chartering a taxi, Melnik is famous for its wine. Greece lies a little to the south of Bansko and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia a little to the west.
