The hotel - almost anyone, even with the available on-site shops - in itself can not always satisfy the tastes of shopping gourmets. But the nearby infrastructure of small trading institutions organically complements its capabilities.
The main street pleases with an abundance of shops andrestaurants resting such a resort as St. Vlas (Bulgaria). The hotel's city quarters are close to it. The exchange rate in local exchangers is much better than at the airport.
