Imagine the ideal night out in Sunny Beach – drinks, music, lights and all. Now imagine it on a boat. At sunset. That’s exactly what the Pukka Up boat party has in store for you. Join us as we take a yacht out onto the Black Sea and party ‘til the sun goes down. There’s a DJ onboard spinning the latest tracks, and barmen to serve you cocktails. We go on well into the night, before making our way back to the harbour to carry on dancing on dry land. You’ll be shuttled to Sunny Beach’s Club Iceberg, where you’ll want to head straight for the bar, because drinks are on the house for the first hour. Then, the rest of the night is yours to see how long you can keep cutting those shapes for.

Vitosha looming is the first thing visitors to Sofia notice on their way from the airport. Few cities and even fewer capitals possess such a natural feature. Vitosha is the Balkans’ oldest Nature Park and Bulgaria’s most visited mountain. Each year, thousands of tourists enjoy the beauty of its scenery and its plant and animal life.
Our hiking trek takes you along the entire crest of the Vitosha. Starting from appr 1750m/5830ft above sea level we first climb Cherni Vrah Peak (2290m/7625ft.) following a gently ascending trail and then traverse the Torfeno Branishte (“The Peat”) Nature Reserve to reach the famous stone rivers of the Zlatni Mostove (“Golden Bridges”) natural feature. The wet meadows on either side of the path are home to a number of rare and endemic plant species, including a few species of orchids. You might also be lucky to encounter some of the recently introduced Balkan Chamois (wild goats). Hiking takes place above the tree line in the alpine and sub-alpine part of the mountains, and eventually you descend through century-old coniferous woods to you final destination – a magic river of huge boulders covered with yellow lichens.
