I spent the summer of 2018 almost entirely in Bulgaria. August weather was the most changeable for this period. The first two weeks of vacation went great. The heat gradually decreased, but the daylight hours were still long. Closer to autumn, the evenings became colder, it got dark earlier, mosquitoes appeared.

Velvet season on Bulgarian beaches

Bulgaria at the end of summer will appeal to lovers of a beautiful tan:

• The activity of the sun is decreasing;
• tourists do not turn red immediately after arrival;
• The skin gradually acquires a golden hue.

The August Sea disappointed with a storm. Even with a slight wave near the rocks, it is unpleasant to swim. Beginning swimmers and most women preferred the shore. But for children, the waves near the shore have become a real attraction.

The approach of autumn lowered the temperature sea ​​water. It did not frighten me, but at the end of the month the evening swims were spoiled by mosquitoes.

After the second week, the crowds of vacationers thinned every day. Few tourists brought small children to rest. The last seven days the beaches have been practically empty.

Discounts and excursions at the end of summer

August is a good time to have fun shopping. Vendors are starting to actively sell summer goods. My wife was very happy with the discounted swimsuits and sandals. I myself was looking for discounted prices for swimming goggles or fins, but such items did not fall under the sale.

The daytime temperature rarely rose above +30. The people became much smaller. good time for comfortable sightseeing. I advise you to see the ancient cities: there is a large selection of interesting architectural monuments.

The best locations of August in Bulgaria

The place of my vacation last summer was the village of Sunny Beach. In size, it significantly exceeds the neighboring district center of Nessebar. The resort is almost completely built up with hotels of various sizes, restaurants, and other tourist facilities. Sunny Beach feels less storm due to the bay - its incomparable advantage. I liked Nessebar more for its ancient architecture, more relaxed atmosphere. Middle of the last summer month there is another reason to visit the amazing island town - on the 15th of Nessebar celebrates the City Day. This summer, the authorities put on a first-class celebration with an amazing light show.
