Re: In search of the sun

We have friends in Cheshire, who recommended a place called Sunny Beach in Bulgaria,
I would appreciate anyone recommending places, that our pound goes a little further, and is nice and sunny. I also like to visit historical sites.
Thank-you in advance.[/QUOTE]
Sunny Beach is very similar to the Costas - English breakfasts, English tourists everywhere drinking too much, packed beaches, loads of souvenir shops, big hotels. If you want a taste of Bulgaria, this isn't the place for you, it could be anywhere. Bulgaria is cheap however, but if you're interested in the country try Sozopol which has an interesting old town with cobbled streets and ancient wooden buildings and an artist's area. The Villa List is right in the heart of the town, beach on one side, shops, bars etc on the other.
Bulgaria has a quite short window of good weather and by mid September it's definitely getting less reliable, so I'd recommend July/August to guarantee sun. Hope this helps.
