Welcome to Bulgaria. Yes, Bansko has changed a lot during the last couple of years and very slowly becoming a humble, digital nomad destination and yes in winter it will get very busy! Recommend also nearby cool places nearby in the region such as Velingrad (spa town) and take the very few remaining narrow-gauge railway lines in Europe Septemvri-Dobrinishte. Razlog also is pretty cool town and busier in winter. Devin is also very beautiful another spa town and very good hiking options and waterfalls. Also, you can go to see the very famous Baba Vanga fortune teller house in Petrich. You also have the sea in Greece which is quite close. The variety of options is large. In winter, Bansko becomes packed with tourists but may become quite touristic and expensive in winter especially February. Many Brits visit it similar to Sunny Beach in summer. The roads in Bulgaria unfortunately are not great but the place where you are is has stunning nature especially Rhodopi Mountains. Central Bulgaria is also very beautiful with very lush landscapes and home to a small Brit DIY community that have bought houses.

I definitely recommend getting an air-conditioned unit at Four Leaf Clovers during the summer, if one is available. The heat waves do come, even in the mountains. This summer it arrived the second week in July, and for over three weeks it was either above 90 F, or in the high 80s. I bailed to air-conditioned hotels in Blagoevgrad and Sofia during the middle of July to be able to sleep. So for $100 extra per month I could have saved the cost of a fan, and not invited in countless flies and mosquitoes by keeping my door wide open for weeks. I would have spent time in Blagoevgrad and Sofia anyway, but I'm sure there were a few nights when I would have had to get an air-conditioned place in Bansko if I had been there. So, about a wash financially, and a larger, more comfortable place. But, even without AC -- and I probably need it cooler than most to sleep -- I'm sure you'll enjoy any time spent at FLC. BTW, I don't recall you doing a video on Blagoevgrad. It's well worth one. Some of the nicest public spaces I've ever seen, and the American University of Bulgaria is there. Just wish I could have been there in cooler weather and done more roaming around. But speaking of which, as always in Bulgaria: be careful on the sidewalks. You won't take a step where your lead foot arrives on the same level as your rear foot.

I'm actually across the street at the evening buffet.

Thanks for the great video! Do you happen to know any accommodations in other EU countries which are warm during winter (like Portugal, Canary Islands) etc. at a price point similar to Four Leaf Clover? Everything on Airbnb, Flatio etc. in those regions is way more expensive. Cheers

Hi, thanks for the info! i want to go! Does those apartments have heating for winter? Also, do you know any accommodations in plovdiv, sofia , or any other Bulgarian cities (not the coast) similar to Four Leaf Clover ? I've been searching but prices are much higher

I'm at the Four Leaf Clover now. How do I get groceries delivered? Billa isn't too far away. Which of the four blocks (leaves) is the big apartment in? Probably B or C. They open up the common space in the evenings?

I didn't hear you mention internet availability in the apartment. Do you use mobile internet? If so, what speeds? Data cap? And is fibre optic internet available?

How much did the white Monster cost there?

Much better deals elsewhere in Bansko
