ARE ACTIVITIES INCLUDED IN THE YOGA AND HIKING HOLIDAY?
Yes. Next to two daily Yoga classes and one or two guided hikes (depending of your accommodation package), there is a one day trip to Troyan and Troyan monastery.
IS THERE A CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT TIME?
The check-in time for Hotel Maragidik starts at 2pm on September 17th 2022. Check out is noon on September 22nd or 24th. Please let us know if you will need any adjustments to these times.
WHICH AIRPORT SHOULD I FLY TO?
The nearest airport is Sofia Airport (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2). There are few airlines operating there: Bulgari@ir, RyanAir, EasyJet, WizzAir.
Varna Airport is also not far,
The cost of transport from Sofia airport to Hotel Maragidik Aprilrsi is possible upon request and extra fee approx. 20 euro p.p. for one direction.
HOW CAN I GET TO THE YOGA VENUE FROM THE AIRPORT?
Apriltsi is accessible by car and bus only.
There is a direct bus line from Sofia to Apriltsi (walking distance from the hotel) at 8:30 am. The price is 19 leva (10 euro). You can buy a ticket online or on the station: http://en.union-ivkoni.com/.
There are few daily direct bus lines from Sofia to Troyan (30 km from Apriltsi).
There is also a direct train from Sofia Central Station to Troyan Station, which I definitely don't recommend.
Transfers from/to Sofia airport are NOT included in the booking price. If there are participants interested in, I could organise a shuttle upon extra fee approx. € 20 p.p. per direction (if there is enough participants interested to cover the cost for the shuttle).
For any transfer-related questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, I will do my best to find a working solution for you and cooperate with translation (I know, many websites don't have English versions :) ).
Please let me know your flight/arrival details and we will arrange accordingly.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?
If for any reason you cannot attend the Yoga and Hiking Holiday, please email me as soon as possible and I will do my best to fill your place so that I can fully refund you. This may not always be possible however and if I cannot fill your place the following cancellation fees will apply:
CAN YOU CATER FOR DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?
Daily breakfast with a variety of food and a traditional welcome lunch are included in the booking price. The rest of the meals are not included. Please provide more information about your dietary requirements in the Sign-In Form which I will send you after your inquiry.
WHAT ABOUT LUNCH AND DINNER?
Welcome dinner is included on Sunday 18 September 2022. The hotel has a restaurant which serves meals and there are multiple restaurants and tavernas 10-15 minutes walking distance from the hotel. Meals in Bulgaria are not expensive (average 10 euro including a drink) and have a wide variety of vegetarian food.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
The autumn (fall) in Bulgaria is the most colourful but also a quite unpredictable season. From rainy to sunny, from windy to misty, from hot to cold - we might experience all the four seasons in one day.
Please, bring along your comfortable hiking shoes, a light backpack and a rain jacket. You can find some nice tips about your mountain hike equipment here.
Please bring comfortable clothes for yoga. The yoga props are provided by me.
