Wake Up! - Varvara Day 2

Image
Had a second day at the Wake Up beach. It is amazing and I couldn't stop myself from visiting it again. This time the water was not as clean as the previous day, however the place was still as wild and great!  As I have already tried the yoga, this time I decided that I can skip it and try something new instead. Krassen still had a group and everyone is always welcomed to join, it's a very open event, however I was  not in a workout mode.  Instead I wanted to take a walk on the cliffs and be able to enjoy the view from there! Looked amazing!  I also like to try something new and see a different view or the same from a different angle as this gives amazing opportunities. Taking a walk on the cliffs on the left, I followed a path between the trees and bushes and if you follow it to the end you will be able to enjoy the same view - there is a very small secluded area where the sea touches the shore and manages to transform the rocks into pebble beach. I

Wake Up! - Varvara Journey

Image
Varvara is a great place very close to Lozenetz - small and with an amazing beach! It's not the typical Black Sea resort in Bulgaria as there are almost no hotels and it's a simple, plain village. Which makes it so adorable and desirable for the stay! Looking for a relaxing break- perfect! Great accommodation in a small village where everyone is very nice and the local people don't have to only think about the tourists as this is not the typical tourist spot. The beach is literally tiny and amazing. It's like a piece of paradise - with amazing beach bar and a free zone. At the beach bar territory guests are not allowed to use their personal umbrellas, food and beverages however they actually do from time to time which is still okay. Yet, the bar offers everything one needs- alcoholic and soft drinks, salads, BBQ, fruits and the people who work there are so nice! A huge plus - wondering how to start the day in an energetic and positive way? Go for the morning yoga wit

Lozenetz Journey

Currently on a vacation in Lozenetz, Bulgaria. The sea is dirty as per the new reports so I'm not risking it! Today I tried the Oasis reort's beach which was very nice and glamorous! Two sundebds and an umbrella cost 30 leva which is too much according to me however this is the closest clean beach to the hotel. Had a bottle of water which is 4.50 leva for 1 liter (at least it's Devin and not Bankia which doesn't taste good enough to me), I had pasta for lunch - 13 leva, a can of Coke for 4 leva and a big "Menta"- an alcoholic drink with mint taste, very fresh and popular especially for the sea months- is 6 leva. I also had a chocolate shake which was 7 leva. Yes. The beautiful beach with clean water IS indeed expensive.  However we spent there the whole day and the guy taking payments for the sundebds is very nice to the customers. We sat near the Delete beach bar & dinner where we got all the drinks from and where I also had lunch. The waitress di

Cruise Memories

Loving my cruise memories and pics!  Below I'm sharing a pic of the exact moment right before boarding back on the boat while it was just about to start pouring rain! Love the pic as I could catch both of the boats (marvelous by the way) and the amazing sky - so blue and at the same time scary!  Love #travelling  Love Summer! 

Explore Zakynthos

Image
Dreaming of the marvelous turquoise water of Zakynthos... Had great time there and it was extremely beautiful! The weather was relatively nice - it was not that hot, windy but very nice! In Greece it can be extremely sunny and it may become very uncomfortable - last month I felt as if the sun was burning holes through me! Yes, my skin is sensitive, but still- it was very hot!  I've heard that the best time for visiting Greece is September -still warm, but the prices are significantly lower compared to the summer months, the activities are still there and there are less tourists!  Simply marvelous!  A picture I love from a very nice secluded place with amazing waters! We didn't manage to see the best of the local beaches, which is a shame since the islands offer much better beaches, however we managed to find the below by accident! We were so lucky!

Explore Litochoro - Day 1

Image
This summer I had an amazing short break in Litochoro so even though it's already been a couple of months I find it an experience worth sharing!  Day 1 We decide to have lunch in Thessaloniki. Turns out to be a huge mistake due to the awful traffic and huge lack of parking spots. After 12 km within the town looking for a free spot we finally manage to find a parking and leave the card there for "just" 4.50 euro. We go for a quick walk to find the perfect place for lunch. There is a great street along the seaside with cafes and restaurants on the right side and the beautiful sea on the left however everything there is waaay to expensive so we try to go back to the center and look for a place to eat which is far from the tourist area. Note: Thessaloniki is a big tourist city so finding such a spot can be a hard one. We got to a place with sandwiches and a great variety of sweets and chocolate products where we have our sandwiches and quickly go back to the cars

Explore Rila Mountain

Image
Rila is a Bulgarian mountain situated in southwestern Bulgaria and in this mountain range you can enjoy the highest peak on the Balkans- Musala (2.925). Rila is the sixth highest range in the world and the name is believed to be of a Thracian origin meaning a well-watered mountain. It's also famous for the 7 lakes of Rila each with a different shape and fascinating names.   I haven't been to the lakes so far but I would like to go. Yesterday I didn't manage to get that far but since it was an extremely hot day we decided to go to the mountain for some fresh and cold air. We arrived at Borovetz and went for the Yastrebets gondola lift which is for up to 6 people in it. No idea how exactly six people go in there during the winter with all the backpacks and equipment - guess it's very inly but during the summer it was very hot but still fun. Besides while going up we had an amazing view of the mountain and cities - very beautiful and all those shades of green we
