And the confirmation is Sunny Beach.
Prices for accommodation in hotels of this coast are especially attractive for those tourists who prefer a budget vacation. For example, for a night in a three-star hotel you can pay only 30 euros, which is very inexpensive, considering the cost of an average European hostel.
