Posted: Mon September 25, 2006 06:43 PM UTC

I am visiting Bulgaria next month. Two reasons, one to see it before it gets spoiled and two to possibly buy a holiday home. From my limited knowlege and what research I've done I'm torn between Bansko and Sandanski.
What are the views of other forum members,
