Hotel discounts rivalry is gaining ground along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast as the end of the summer season is drawing nearer.

Visitors will have the chance to enjoy the sun and the sea at reduced prices during the long weekend that the Unification holiday will usher on September 6 with discounts ranging from 15% to 30%, the management of the major Bulgarian resorts announced.

The new prices at three-star hotels range from BGN 15 to BGN 45 per person, but travelers prepared to dig deeper into their pockets can find more opulence and luxury in five-star hotels at the northern Golden Sands resort. The price for a three-day package here is about BGN 400.

The fight for tourists has reached fever pitch in Greece too, which is offering a range of last-minute cut-price deals to lure visitors, including many Bulgarians.

Bulgarian tourists have already started to turn their backs on the Black Sea coast and go Greece. During the upcoming long weekend, they can enjoy a three-day holiday on Thassos or a five-day trip to Athens, accommodation at three-star hotels and breakfast included, at a price below BGN 300.

Greece managed to attract more Bulgarian tourists this summer with discounts on its prices in a bid to make up for the outflow of German and British visitors, who withdrew scared by the crisis and euro exit talk.

Greece remains the greatest destination for Bulgaria's short break fans, who would rather find their pleasures closer to home and whose batteries take longer to recharge.

A huge part of the active and working people in the Bulgarian capital have been spending over the last few years their summer holidays south of Sofia, in Greece and Halkidiki in particular.
