Bulgaria is attracting increasing interest from property buyers around the world - fascinated by its property investment potential, glorious stretches of golden sands, historic towns and breathtakingly unspoilt scenery. With its low property prices Bulgaria provides many different types of accommodation to suit all tastes - whether it's a mountain retreat in a ski resort, a seaside apartment, a period country house, or a modern city- based apartment. And it all comes with a low cost of living, too. Bulgaria is set to join the EU in 2007 and property prices are already showing significant increases.
