Bansko in Bulgaria
Bansko in Bulgaria is only a couple of hours drive from Eleftheres. Situated in the middle of the Pirin mountains, this village is the natural starting point for anyone wanting to explore this stunning mountain area. As itīs a great place for skiing, a recent boom created enormous hotel complexes around the old, traditional village.
In the winter the village is a buzzing ski center, attracting tourists from all over Europe.However, the village is even more beautiful during the summer months - for instance, hereīs your chance to see the rare edelweiss. . For anyone wanting to go hiking in this area, we are co-operating with mountain guide and native Kostadin Kotirkovi. (He has also taken all the photos on this page).
Together with his wife Elena, Kostadin runs a small guesthouse in the old town, which we recommend for anyone wanting a comfortable and central place to stay - and with a quite a bit more atmosphere than the giant hotels surrounding town.If you belong to a small group staying with us, and donīt have a car of your own, we can arrange for transfer to and from his place.

I can also add that the drive from Eleftheres, along the Pangeo mountain to Drama, than crossing the border to Bulgaria at Nevrokopi, is a very pretty trip itself.
