| ABOUT THIS PROPERTY |
Property HKI60, Holiday Apartment for rental in Bansko, South West and Ski Resort, Bulgaria
|

| |
The town of Bansko is situated nearby the river Glazane (left feeder of Mesta River) in the north- eastern foot of Pirin, right bellow the highest and most beautiful part of the mountain. Its name comes from the old Bulgarian word “ban”, which means “master”. It is just 160 kilometers away from Sofia and 6 kilometers from Razlog. Bansko has developed into a favourite ski & snowboard destination, thanks to the excellent ski facilities combined with the unique architecture and historical significance.
Bansko is not just a small town which you visit, it differs from all towns you have ever seen. Nowhere else there are such beautiful gates, stone walls, men’s songs and women’s dresses.
Here you can hear the most melodic language and eat the most delicious food. The wine produced in Bansko is a divine drink for the soul. The people in Bansko are mountaineers. They are strange people looking upon life differently and perceive the world in their own way. No one can answer for sure how and when this town escaped from the mainstream of life and chose its own way of development.
Probably some explanation is its outstanding environment. Surrounded by three mountain ranges, multiple rivers, meadows and gaint nut trees, Bansko is situated in an unique place which is not just an imitation of the Swiss Alps nor the Caucasian mountain ranges.
Bansko has been declared a unique town of international importance to commercial tourism (1979). Apart from the beautiful Pirin and the numerous spots of natural beauty the town also boasts its many historic sites. Remains of ancient fortresses have been preserved in the Staroto Gradishte (Stankale) locality about 4 km southwest of the town and also in the Yulen locality (downstream Demyanitsa river).
Thracian tumuli have been uncovered in the vicinity of Staroto Gradishte. Archaeological works have unearthed a 2nd century B.C. burial site containing a set of bronze surgical instruments, remains of medicinal preparations etc. in the centuries-old Dobrokyovitsa locality (west of Bansko). Scientists assume that a medieval settlement used to exist in the Sveta Troitsa (Holy Trinity) locality (northeast of town). Southeast of Bansko are remains of the late-medieval single-nave churches "St George" and "St Elijah".

Yes the holiday was great and the lads loved your apartment. Especially as last year in France we had 5 to a room about the size of your kitchen and it cost us £600. I’ll definitely recommend it.
The snow was great and the ski was really good quality. It was certainly challenging enough for all of us.
Cheers, Richard - Derby
