Montenegro or Bulgaria? Bulgaria or Montenegro: where to go to rest Montenegro or Bulgaria which is better in July.

If Egypt with the scorching sun and Turkey with crowds of Russian vacationers are already tired, the tourist’s gaze turns to Eastern Europe with “friendly Slavic” states. Of course, we mean Montenegro and Bulgaria. However, the question always arises which country provides the best conditions for recreation: Montenegro or Bulgaria? Let's compare point by point.

1. 1. How to get into the country?
   In order to make a trip to Bulgaria, before the trip you need to apply for a visa - either Bulgarian or Schengen. The process of paperwork and processing can take from 4 days to a month. You don’t need a tourist visa to Montenegro, just buy a plane ticket.
2. 2. Prices for tours to Montenegro or Bulgaria
   There are few burning ones, because holidays in Montenegro are relatively expensive. In 2011, about 100 thousand rubles came out for two weeks for two with a flight and meals. Bulgaria is cheaper, last-minute tours can be found, but most likely they will have to wait a long time. A trip to Sunny Beach can cost only 60 thousand rubles for two. In general, tours to Montenegro, Bulgaria are still abroad. And you have to pay accordingly.
3. 3. Service and hotels
   By, Montenegro-Bulgaria in service resemble the Crimea. Sometimes you can find excellent four-star hotels here and there, but most often two or three-star ones are offered, furnished reminiscent of the sanatoriums of the Soviet Union. The quality of service in Montenegro is slightly higher, in Bulgaria everything is done with some "laziness".
4. 4. Sea
   Montenegro is located a little south of Bulgaria, but the cool Adriatic Sea has an influence. Montenegro is cooler and drier than Bulgaria, since the coast is not so long. , mostly pebbly, and the water of the Adriatic rarely heats up higher than 22-23 degrees Celsius. In Bulgaria, the sea is Black, familiar from childhood. It is not very clean, but it is shallow and warm. Beaches with soft fine sand, for children, rest here is much more comfortable than in Montenegro. So in terms of a beach and swimming holiday, the choice of Montenegro or Bulgaria suggests an answer to the question of what the tourist prefers: pleasant warm or clear azure water.
5. 5. Other types of recreation
   Both Montenegro and Bulgaria offer tourists a wide range of entertainment for every taste. However, there are more entertainments in Bulgaria: there are water parks, dolphinariums, entertainment centers, nightclubs, beach activities, and a lot of interesting tours. And in Montenegro, on the other hand, there are ecological holidays, mountain, sports tours, inspection of churches and ancient monuments, trips to nature reserves, etc. Those who have already purchased Montenegro Bulgaria tours in advance know that in both Eastern European countries, besides the sea, there are chic ones.
6. 6. Nutrition
   In 2011-2012, food prices in Bulgaria were cheaper than in Montenegro. For 8 euros in Montenegro, you could only buy a main course and a drink (juice, beer, water), and in Bulgaria - a salad, second course, dessert, drink, a glass of wine. However, perhaps due to the Eastern European crisis, food prices in both countries will increase.

People of Montenegro and Bulgaria

Bulgarians are predominantly brown-eyed brunettes, more Slavic in features (but not by much). Montenegrins are more hardworking than Bulgarians. This is noted by everyone who traveled on tours to Montenegro and Bulgaria. So, usually Montenegrins clean up hotels more often, carry out current repairs. And the Bulgarians are a very tight-fisted nation, and, for example, it will not work to bargain for a discount, while in Montenegro you can always agree on a price reduction with private individuals and sellers. But in both countries, Russians are treated sincerely, local residents remember all the good things done by Russians in different periods of history. It can even be argued that Russian tourists are loved and respected both in Montenegro and in Bulgaria.

We have been friends with the countries of the former socialist camp for decades and we think that we know our brothers Slavs inside and out. However, having gone on vacation with the whole family to Bulgaria, Croatia or Montenegro, you need to be prepared for the fact that the situation there has changed somewhat and not quite the way we imagine it. To meet expectations, and the cost of vacation does not seem in vain, it is better to familiarize yourself with common misconceptions in advance.

Each of the three named countries of the former socialist bloc is good in its own way. In Bulgaria, the tourist infrastructure is focused on children's recreation. Here you have a dolphinarium, and water parks, and a variety of animation, and a bunch of peers for your children. However, this country clearly does not shine with natural resources. And every year the number of hotels is growing, and the number of plants is getting smaller. Although, you see, for children this is just not the most important thing.

For those who prefer to relax in civilized conditions, but in nature, there is a direct road to Montenegro and Croatia. There are not only nature reserves protected by the state, beautiful lakes, waterfalls, islands, but also well-equipped places for walking with the whole family. Moreover, you don’t have to go far - every step beyond the territory of the hotel is a monument protected by UNESCO.

Obvious not fact
Rimma Yanushkevich, General Director of the First Network of Specialized Travel Agencies “Traveling with a Child”, told us about the myths that have developed over decades about holidays in Bulgaria, Croatia and Montenegro.
Myth 1. Croatia and Bulgaria offer the same level of vacation.
Reality. This is wrong. Resorts in Bulgaria are simpler and cheaper than in Croatia, where there are not luxurious, but close to the European level resorts. Everything here is permeated with European calmness and indifference. But in Bulgaria, the feeling of "sovietness" will haunt you from time to time. Therefore, it is impossible to put an equal sign between three-star hotels in Bulgaria and Croatia.
Myth 2. There are no sandy beaches in Croatia.
Reality. They are, but they are few, and not every specialist knows where they are. Meanwhile, tourists, getting acquainted with the avenues, often mistake pebble beaches for sandy ones and vice versa. Therefore, it is worth discussing your wishes with the tour operator in advance and clarifying its capabilities.
Myth 3. Croatia, Bulgaria and Montenegro are similar in terms of climatic conditions.
Reality. This is not entirely true. In Montenegro and southern Croatia, the climate is more humid and hot than in the north of these countries and in Bulgaria. It must be borne in mind that for children who have health problems, this is not the best option. The climatic conditions of Bulgaria and the northern part of Croatia are more suitable for people with poor health.
Myth 4. Croatia, Bulgaria and Montenegro are equally good for families with children.
Reality. As we have already noted, children's service is best developed in Bulgaria. In Croatia and Montenegro there is not a single full-fledged water park (a couple of small slides in front of hotels do not count), zoos, park entertainment and dolphinariums. But these two countries can boast of nature reserves untouched by civilization, clean air and architectural monuments.
Myth 5. "All inclusive" in Montenegro, Croatia and Bulgaria is equivalent to this service in Europe, Egypt or Turkey.
Reality. “If you agree to all-inclusive in these countries, especially in Bulgaria (from 1,500 euros for parents with one child), you will be surprised at the scarcity of the diet,” says Rimma Yanushkevich. “For the same money, you will get much more pleasure from food and its quantity in local restaurants.”
The situation is similar with the all-inclusive function in Montenegro and Croatia. By paying it (from 2500 euros for parents with one child), you run the risk of not getting the abundance and variety that are typical for food in Turkey or European countries.

Attention: mode!
Of the three countries listed above, a visa is required only to enter Bulgaria. We remind you that the minimum period required for its receipt is five working days. And since consular officers are overwhelmed with work at the height of the season, mistakes in paperwork are inevitable. So it would be wiser to get passports with visas at least three days before departure, so that there is time to correct typos and inconsistencies.
Refusal of a visa (25 euros for an adult, for children under 16 free of charge) is possible if a mother, a child and his nanny enter the country - no matter if they are men or women. But you should not despair. You should contact the consul and show him, for example, a formalized employment contract. The main thing is to confirm that the young lady accompanying you is really a nanny, and not a potential immigrant. Bulgarians compensate for this unpleasant moment by the fact that when a mother and child receive a long-term visa for several months, the father can apply for a multiple-entry visa so that he can visit his spouse and children without wasting time each time obtaining permission. Also, a visa, but not an ordinary one, but a long-term one (for three months), can be denied to young mothers with children, allowing them to enter the country for a maximum of a month.
“Since Bulgaria has joined the European Union, it is safe to say that every year the visa regime for Russians will become more complicated,” suggests Rimma Yanushkevich. “We have already felt the first steps in this direction after the change of the Bulgarian consul.”
When entering Montenegro and Croatia, a visa is not needed, the main thing is that the “expiry date” of the passport ends at least three months after the start of the trip. Although loyal border guards may close their eyes and let your family go to a decent hotel, even if the passport expires in a month. But it’s better not to risk such things, suddenly “your” border guard will quarrel with his wife in the morning, and you will turn out to be extreme.

It doesn't get hot
No matter how pessimistic it sounds, but the fact remains - last-minute tours to Montenegro and Croatia cannot be. There are few good hotels there, and those that exist are “not on fire”, so getting into them for “ridiculous” money, as offered in advertising brochures, is unrealistic. You can save, perhaps, only if you rent an "apartment" or "villa" - a small building on the second or third line from the sea (500-700 meters) next to the house where the owners live. So keep in mind: you need to book hotels in these two countries a few months (at least 1-2) before your vacation. The fact is that there is not so much land for construction in Montenegro and Croatia (most of it is the territory of nature reserves), respectively, and it is quite expensive. Therefore, the situation with the shortage of hotels in the near future is unlikely to change much.
The concept of a “hot tour” is more relevant for Bulgaria, but even there vouchers “burn” very rarely, although for several seasons in a row there have been rumors about an intestinal infection in local hotels. As in every fairy tale, there is some truth in this one, so hotels, in principle, can sell “hot tours”. After all, Bulgaria is a cheap resort, the children rest there are very different, and the water in the Black Sea is not very salty and microbes live there easier than in the Red or Aegean. In addition, the hotel business in this country is better developed than in its neighbors: there are (though not very many) interchangeable hotels.

What the stars say
Let's agree in advance that holidays with children in five-star hotels are not the best option. The child, and the parents, will most likely be uncomfortable there. Expensive furniture and accessories will make it difficult for you to drop the phrase “don’t go there, don’t touch it” from your speech, and children will not be happy to listen to it. Of course, hotels that officially accept children are ready for anything. Yes, they won’t charge you for the damage caused by a hyperactive child, but, you see, it’s also not enough pleasant in such situations. Therefore, opt for good 4-star hotels, which, by the way, are not so numerous in all three countries - in Montenegro, for example, they can be counted on the fingers. Our advice to you: persistently asking for a hotel that does not accept children is not worth it. Having settled there, you will voluntarily-compulsorily take all responsibility, including material, upon yourself and pay in full for broken dishes and broken interior items.
“And do not forget that in more Europeanized Croatia the quality of hotel service is much higher than in Bulgaria, and between Croatia and Montenegro there is the same difference as between Bulgaria and Anapa,” explains Rimma Yanushkevich. - Croatia is more like Europe, and Montenegro is more like Crimea, relaxed and not always with good service. By the way, in Croatia, the main European sign can be called the punctuality of urban transport, which runs strictly on schedule. So it's better not to be late!" Specify important points for you (for example, the specifics of the nutrition of children with allergies) in advance and enjoy your vacation!

Montenegro and Bulgaria are similar in many ways: their beaches and ski slopes are popular with tourists from all over Europe, and real estate in these countries has long been chosen by buyers from Russia and other CIS countries. At the same time, there are differences between the real estate markets in Bulgaria and Montenegro, knowing about which you can make the best decision for yourself when buying a second home.

Issue price

As a rule, real estate prices in Montenegro are higher than in Bulgaria: the average purchase budget here ranges from 50 to 170 thousand euros. For an apartment with one or two bedrooms on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, you will have to pay about 50-100 thousand euros, and for a house - about 130-170 thousand euros.

In Bulgaria, prices are somewhat lower: studio apartments on the Black Sea coast and ski resorts can be bought for about 30-50 thousand euros. The cost of individual houses is about 100 thousand euros. Do not forget that prices are affected by the condition of housing and its location.

As in many other European countries, house prices in Bulgaria and Montenegro peaked in 2008, before the onset of the global economic crisis, and then rushed down. In Bulgaria, they remained at a relatively low level until 2013, and in 2014 they increased by 2.05%. During the first half of 2015, the cost of houses and apartments in this country increased by another 4%. Local realtors believe that the real estate market has begun to recover.

A similar picture could be observed in Montenegro: in the post-crisis period, prices remained at a relatively stable low level. In this regard, it is now in the markets of both Bulgaria and Montenegro that the most favorable moment has come to buy a second home - subsequently, the value of real estate will most likely begin to increase.

Main locations

The most popular locations among foreign property buyers in Bulgaria and Montenegro are seaside and ski resorts.

The best locations to buy a second home in Bulgaria

The most popular resort towns in Bulgaria are located in the east of the country, on the Black Sea coast, and the ski slopes are in the south, in the Pirin Mountains.

Varna- one of the largest Bulgarian cities located on the Black Sea coast. The main advantage of Varna is its high transport accessibility: it can be reached by air and by rail, including from Russia, as well as by ferries. Since Varna is a large and very popular city both among tourists and real estate buyers, the offer of houses and apartments here is diverse, and housing prices are high and second only to those in Sofia.

Burgas- Another coastal resort popular with tourists, in 2013 it was recognized as the best city to live in Bulgaria. Burgas is also in demand among those who want to improve their health: there is a well-known balneological treatment center in the city. In Burgas, you can find real estate for every taste and budget, but there are a lot of dilapidated housing on the secondary market, which may require significant investments after the purchase.

City Pamporovo located 250 km from Sofia, in southern Bulgaria. One of the most promising ski resorts in Europe, Pamporovo is located in the Rhodope Mountains and from December to April (and the season here lasts just that long) is invariably very popular with fans of skiing and snowboarding.

Real estate prices here are somewhat lower than in the seaside resorts of Bulgaria, but in Pamporovo you can also find luxury residential complexes with a swimming pool, spa and restaurant.

Bansko- one of the most famous ski resorts in Bulgaria. It is located 150 km from Sofia, at the foot of the Pirin Mountains, on the slopes of which there are routes for both beginners and experienced athletes. There are many restaurants and bars in Bansko, as well as ancient fortresses - monuments of the history of the ancient city. The resort ranges from modern townhouses and apartment buildings to older properties in need of a refresh. Prices in Bansko, as well as in other ski resorts in Bulgaria, are about two times lower than the national average.

Capital of Bulgaria Sofia is not a resort town - it is located 400 km from the Black Sea, so real estate here will be of interest to students who can study at the oldest university in Bulgaria - Sofia University. Entrepreneurs whose business is connected with Bulgaria can also become buyers of housing in the capital. Sofia has a rich history: the city has many attractions that attract lovers of cultural recreation. Real estate in the Bulgarian capital is about 24% more expensive than the national average,

The best locations for buying a second home in Montenegro

The coast of Montenegro is being urbanized and built up due to the increased demand of foreign homebuyers in recent years. Such resorts are especially popular with them.

Bar- the largest port in Montenegro with a marina for 1,000 ships. From the capital of Montenegro - Podgorica - you can get here by rail. This city is extremely popular with Serbian and Montenegrin tourists, who are attracted by gently sloping beaches and pine groves. Modern buildings predominate in Bar, and there are almost no old houses. At the same time, local real estate is slightly lower in price than the average for Montenegro.

Budva is one of the most popular cities in Montenegro among foreigners. This port is located 25 kilometers from the international airport in Tivat. At the peak of the tourist season, it is crowded here - the five magnificent beaches of Budva attract fans of a leisurely holiday from all over Europe to the city. Local real estate is mainly represented by apartment buildings and hotels, but there are also many luxury properties, for example, on the island of Sveti Stefan.

Tivat- another seaside resort on the Adriatic coast. There are not as many beaches here as in Budva, but they are ideal for families with children. The main advantage of Tivat is the presence of an international airport. Tivat is dominated by five-story apartment buildings, as well as mansions and villas. Like Budva, this city is popular with buyers of luxury real estate.

Kotor located on the shores of the bay of the same name, 85 kilometers from Podgorica. This city is considered the cultural capital of Montenegro. Part of this ancient settlement is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since Kotor is an ancient city, there is not a wide variety of new buildings here, but you can buy an old house and reconstruct it.

Buying property in Herceg Novi will be an excellent choice for lovers of beaches, nightlife and cultural holidays. Herceg Novi is the largest city of the Bay of Kotor with a four-kilometer-long promenade, two ecologically clean beaches awarded with a blue flag, and ancient architecture. Thanks to the hilly landscape, almost every local house has a view of the sea. Real estate in this city is diverse: here you can find both houses and apartment complexes, including those in the elite price segment.

Many property buyers prefer Bulgaria and Montenegro to other European countries because of the relatively low cost of housing maintenance.

On average, the cost of maintaining property in Bulgaria and Montenegro is approximately the same, but given the lower prices, the tax on Bulgarian property will be lower than on Montenegrin property. At the same time, object insurance in Montenegro will cost less.

Time to buy

So, if you are looking for real estate on the sea or in the mountains, in a location with developed infrastructure, but on a limited budget, it is better to opt for a house or apartment in Bulgaria.

If you want to buy a second home on the cleaner coast of the Adriatic Sea and be closer to central Europe, then it is better to consider options in Montenegro.

Buyers of real estate from Russia should also remember that since 2007 Bulgaria has been a member of the EU. At the same time, the decision on its accession to the Schengen zone has not yet been made, therefore, to stay in Bulgaria, Russians need a national visa, which does not give the right to enter the countries of the Schengen agreement. At the same time, citizens of the Russian Federation can stay in Montenegro without a visa for up to 30 days.

However, many are wondering: what's the point of buying a home abroad when "one's own, dear" becomes cheaper? The answer is simple: if you consider buying overseas property not only as a second home, but also as a savings investment, then it is better to invest in housing in a stable or growing market, rather than a falling market. Property prices in both Bulgaria and Montenegro have generally stabilized, so buying a home in these markets today is a smart investment. Moreover, by buying a house or apartment in a resort town, you get a bonus - the opportunity not only to live here on your own, for example, during your vacation, but also to rent out real estate in the months when you are in your country of origin, and receive foreign exchange income.

1. Conditions for life. Leisure opportunities

I'll start with the banal: Montenegro and Bulgaria are resort countries. And the warm sea for Russians is often the main argument when buying property abroad. That is why in both states the most popular were and will certainly be the regions stretching along the coast.

Of course, the Adriatic Sea is warmer than the Black Sea - and noticeably. In reality, the holiday season in Bulgaria, in my opinion, begins only in June and lasts until mid-September. And even then - in early June, the sea here is still not very warm. And in Montenegro, the swimming season starts in mid-May. Even in early October, people swim comfortably, and the warm weather continues into November.

In both countries, you can live all year round, and this attracts those who want to relax by the sea, not only in the hot season. It is not difficult to get a Bulgarian visa, Montenegro is completely visa-free for us. So everything is simple here.

It unites countries and the focus of the local market on Russian-speaking buyers. This applies to the entire infrastructure - shops, schools, clinics ... There are no problems with understanding the Russian language. Finally, both countries are mostly Orthodox. According to our clients, I see that this circumstance inclines many in favor of Montenegro or Bulgaria.

There is, perhaps, only one fundamental difference. A potential buyer of real estate will immediately notice that the primary and one and a half times more expensive than Bulgaria. And you will have to spend more not only on buying a house or apartment, but also on subsequent living.

With the states that were previously part of the socialist camp, Russia has been friends for more than a decade, considering them friends, comrades and, in general, our brothers Slavs. In particular, and because of this, many parents choose such safe and comfortable, it would seem, Montenegro, Croatia or Bulgaria for holidays with children. However, when planning a vacation here, you need to be prepared for the fact that the situation may not be as rosy as it seems at first glance and as travel companies try to present it. In order for the vacation to leave only pleasant memories, and the expenses were not in vain, it is worth familiarizing yourself with popular misconceptions about these states in advance.

Each of these three countries is good in its own way. For example, in Bulgaria tourism is mostly focused on children's recreation. That is why here the baby will be fun and comfortable, and parents will not have to constantly think about how and how to entertain their beloved child. There is a dolphinarium, several water parks, a lot of all kinds of animation available, as well as hundreds, if not thousands of resting peers for children and teenagers. However, this country is not particularly distinguished by its natural wealth, and every year there are more and more hotels and resorts here, and less and less plants and green areas. Although for children this is probably not essential when there are slides and pools.

Those who like to relax in nature, but in a civilized environment and with all the amenities, should pay attention to Croatia and Montenegro. In these countries, you can enjoy not only picturesque reserves, waterfalls, lakes and islands, but also a superbly developed tourist infrastructure. By the way, in order to enjoy the beauties you don’t have to travel far - literally at every step outside the hotel there are monuments protected by UNESCO.

The main myths and their exposure

The main myth is that both Croatia and Bulgaria offer tourists with children a holiday of the same level. As experts in the tourism business say, in reality this is not entirely true. In Bulgaria, resorts are much simpler and cheaper, while in Croatia, hotels that are not the most luxurious, but as close as possible to European standards, prevail. Everything here is permeated with European calmness and sometimes indifference, in contrast to soulful and homely hospitable Bulgaria. However, in Bulgarian resorts, vacationers will sometimes be haunted by the feeling of the Soviet past, and this is especially true for 3 * hotels.

The second myth concerns the lack of soft sand beaches in Croatia. In reality, there are sandy beaches in this country, but there are quite a few of them, and not everyone can tell where they are. That is why, when going to this country with a child and hoping to soak up the warm sand, and not walk on small pebbles, it is worth voicing this wish to the tour operator and clarifying the availability of such beaches near the hotel.

Another myth concerns the similarity of the climate of Montenegro, Croatia and Bulgaria. Despite the fact that all these countries are very comfortable in terms of weather conditions for families with kids, the climate in them is still different. In the southern part of Croatia and Montenegro, it is always more humid and rather hot than in the northern part of these countries and in Bulgarian resorts. This should be especially taken into account if the child has health problems. The climatic zones of northern Croatia and most of Bulgaria will become optimal conditions for vacationers with poor health.

Those who put an equal sign between these countries are not entirely right, saying that they are equally good for relaxing with kids. As mentioned above, the infrastructure for children's recreation is best developed in Bulgaria, while neither in Croatia nor in Montenegro today there is not a single full-fledged water amusement park, except for a couple of mini-water parks at hotels. Also in these countries there is clearly a lack of dolphinariums, park entertainment, zoos. Although these countries, in turn, are famous for their delightful nature reserves, architectural monuments and wonderful clean air.

Finally, when choosing a country for a holiday with a child, it should be borne in mind that the all inclusive system (“all inclusive”) in Croatia or Bulgaria is not always similar to this system in Turkey or Egypt. In fact, it turns out that when choosing hotels on an all-inclusive basis in Bulgaria, parents are likely to be unpleasantly surprised already at the first breakfast by the scarcity of the diet. For the same money, you can get much more pleasure and variety of dishes in local cafes and restaurants. A similar situation develops with Montenegro and Croatia, where by paying for a full ration, the family runs the risk of not getting the variety and abundance of dishes and desserts that are typical for European and Turkish hotels.

Visa regime

Of the three countries mentioned, a visa is not needed only to enter Montenegro. The main thing here is that the passport expires no earlier than three months after the end of the trip. Despite the fact that some loyal border guards may close their eyes and not pay attention to the fact that one of the family members has almost run out of a passport, it is better not to risk it with such things. Tourists from Russia need a visa to visit Croatia. Today (summer 2750-0_bgblur_014) this country is a member of the EU, but is not a member of the Schengen agreement, so it will not work to enter the Schengen zone with a Croatian visa. You can apply for a visa to Croatia through a travel agency or independently through the Consulate of this country. To do this, you will need to fill out questionnaires and provide the necessary package of documents. Among other things, for minor children, you will need to provide a copy of the birth certificate, as well as a notarized permission if the child flies on vacation without parents, accompanied by third parties. It will be possible to issue a visa through a travel agency in about seven working days, and on your own in five days, plus a few days to send documents. Urgent visas can be done in three working days. The cost of a Croatian visa is now 65 euros (about 3,090 rubles) for tourists over six years old when applying through travel agencies, 54 euros (about 2,567 rubles) when applying through the Consulate.

As for Bulgaria, tourists can get a visa to this sunny country in about five working days. Here you need to remember about such a moment as the human factor. In the midst of vacations, consular officers are usually overwhelmed with work and sometimes errors occur with paperwork. That is why it makes sense to plan to receive passports with visas at least three days before departure, so that there is time left to correct possible typographical errors and inconsistencies. As practice shows, the refusal of a Bulgarian visa is possible if not only the mother with the child, but also the baby's nanny goes to Bulgaria. In this case, you will have to contact the consul and confirm that the accompanying person is not a potential immigrant. A formalized employment contract will help here.

Are tours to "children's" countries on fire?

As for the “star rating” of hotels, then, of course, the most entertainment will be in 5 * hotels, where service is better, rooms are more spacious, etc. However, some tourists with small and hyperactive children deliberately refuse to stay in such fashionable hotels, so as not to control the child for the entire vacation, making sure that he does not paint leather sofas or spill juice on expensive carpets. Of course, hotels that accept children are ready for any tricks of small guests and, most likely, they will not recover anything from their parents for the damage caused, but there is also little pleasant in such situations. That is why it is recommended to opt for good four-star hotels. By the way, when choosing a place to stay, you need to pay attention to the note in the booking system whether the hotel accepts children. In addition, it is worth remembering that in Europeanized Croatia the level of hotel service is an order of magnitude higher than in Bulgaria. Croatia is very reminiscent of punctual Europe, and Montenegro is more like a native, cozy and relaxed Crimea.
