Hi,
We travelled Easy Jet to Sofia in March (from Gatwick) with the intention of traveling by train to Bourgas and then on to our apt at PFB. Our taxi driver (on route to our hotel) put us off the train idea as it is mainly used by the gypsies and the toilet facilities are not too good.
We selected our hotel because it was close to the railway station, but fortunately this is next to the coach station which we used. It took 5 1/2 hrs to Bourgas, inc. a 30 min comfort break and cost less than the train. The trip was very enjoyable. We had arranged a pick up at Bourgas but the coach continues to Sunny Beach. It also continues to St. Vlas but you may have to change coach?
Hope this is some help. We are travelling out again on Sept 1st for a week from Manchester, look forward to seeing anyone who will be there then.
