Location: Situated in southeastern Europe, Bulgaria occupies the north-eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. To the North,
via the Danube River, it borders on Romania, to the West on Serbia and Montenegro and on the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. To the South
its neighbours are Greece and Turkey. To the East Bulgaria touches the Black Sea, which links it also to Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia. The Black
Sea borderline is 378 km (240 miles) long. The country's total territory is 111 000 sq. km (43 000 sq. miles).
Climate: The predominant climate in Bulgaria is moderate and transitional continental (2,000 to 2,400 hours of sunlight per
year). There are four seasons and summer is dry and hot! The average temperature (April - September) is usually a minimum of 23 °C. Winter is
cold with snowfalls and an average temperature of 0 °C. Along the Black Sea, the average the July temperature ranges between 19° and 30° C.
Cuisine: Bulgarian cuisine has grown out of wealth of culinary traditions, both local and foreign, combined in a way which is uniquely
Bulgarian, offering cuisine with its own characteristics, originality and exceptional variety.
Because of its geographical position and long history Bulgarian cuisine is a mixture between the best parts of the Slavonic, Greek and Turkish cuisines.
National specialities include: Shopska salad (sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and parsley topped with grated sheep's cheese); and tarator (a cold soup
of chopped cucumber, walnuts and yogurt) perfect for hot summer days. White sheep's cheese baked with eggs is another favorite. Other typical items on the
menu include kebapcheta (minced meat rolled into sausage shapes and grilled), kavarma (individual casseroles of pork or veal, onions and mushrooms), shishkebab,
stuffed vine or cabbage leaves and moussaka. Yogurt too, tastes better in Bulgaria, its country of origin.
Many Bulgarian products and dishes are known in various parts of the world. Bulgarian dishes and drinks have their devotees even among the most refined
gastronomers and tasters. Bulgarian yogurt is an industry, and the Great Roasted Red Pepper - an attraction. Anyone who has tasted a Bulgarian apple, already
knows why Eve was tempted by this fruit.
