Village of Bansko
One of Bulgaria's best kept secrets, the historic town of Bansko is situated in the South-Western part of Bulgaria, in the foothills of the beautiful Mount Pirin. The mountains twin peaks soar to over 2900m and its breathtaking alpine beauty combined with the area's history has resulted in it's adoption as a World Heritage site. Now Bansko is a growing mountain resort, with a current population of around 10,000 permanent residents. With food and drink a third of the cost of a typical French resort, Bansko offers exceptional value for money.
