Borovets is of course best known for the international family friendly ski and snowboard resort.
It's a lively but picturesque village style resort bustling with resturants,bars and shops.New runs , facilities and gondolas have been added as part of the 'Super Borovets' project destined to land the resort with the 2014 winter Olympics. It's a great place to go in the summer too as the gondolas and ski lifts take you to the very peak of the mountain tops. You will not experience better views than these anywhere else in Europe. Samokov is the nearest town and has a number of excellent resturants and the wonderful daily market selling fresh oganic locally produced fruit and vegetables.Every monday a huge market takes place drawing traders from all over the province and offers just about everything you could want in a market.The town is famed for its wood carving industry and hand fashioned copper ornaments. Designer brands are available at bargain prices in a number of shops and you will inevitably find less than legal but extrememly good designer clothing and watches as well!
The Iskar lake just minutes down the road is one of the largest in Europe and is literally teeming with fish. You can hire boats , walk ,fish and picnic. There are rivers, lakes mountains all on the door step and if you turn left out of "Zografski" garden gate then that's all there is for miles and miles! Hot Spa's are minutes away and golf courses rearby.Do as much or as little as you want.It's a holiday that offers what ever you want.
The village of Dospei is quiet, friendly and charming. There are a couple of produce shops three bars and a resturant just a five minute stroll from the chalet.
