Planing on having health travel procedure in Bulgaria?
Here is some General Information about Bulgaria:
Bulgaria By car If you want to reach Bulgaria from Western Europe by car, you either can take a ferry from Italy to Greece, or you will have to pass through either Serbia (make sure you took a green card from your national insurance company) or Romania. Travelling from Greece you have to go from Thessaloniki towards Serres and then to Promahonas. Besides the sticker (see end) you need to pay the Bulgarian authorities health insurance (2 euros per person for 3 days, slightly more for more days) and car disinfection costs (4 euros for a standard car). Beware. It is common that while Bulgarians do get a receipt naive foreigners don't! Expect long queues on certain days! The security situation regarding car theft shouldn’t be overrated. In small villages or the country, leaving your car should be safe, but in the big cities or the tourist spots it is advisable to improve your odds by parking either on the major streets or on guarded garages, where fees range from 6 lvs a day to 2 lvs an hour. If you plan to spend more time in one city, it might be better to get an abonnement, which on the average costs 60 leva a month. Most of the hotels have an own parking, and even at private lodgings it is often possible to park the car in the garden or so, just ask. |
