ABOUT DOLNA BANYA

Dolna Banya is one of Bulgaria’s ecologically purest towns and famous mineral spas with a population of nearly 5,000 people, located between the mountains of Rila and Sredna Gora close to the famous ski resort of Borovets, 66 km from Sofia. The town has long been famous for its EP traditions. The climate is mild continental. The relief is semi-mountainous with an altitude of 640 meters. The town is traversed by the Maritsa, Dolnobanska Bistritsa, Ochushnitsa and Gutsalska Rivers.

Dolna Banya’s greatest wealth are the numerous mineral springs which are still growing in number. They all have unique properties and include almost the whole spectrum of curative properties.

Dolna Banya is a town predominantly making ecologically pure products.

Dolna Banya’s history is multi-century old. It goes back to the Thracians. Venetitsa, Yurta and Koychovets are the names of the three settlements located very close to one another, later united in one known to historians as Banya, called Dolna Banya in the second half of the 19th c.

Many tribes and peoples have left a trace here - Romans and Byzantines, Proto-Bulgarians and Slavs - they were all attracted by the natural beauties and riches - the warm mineral springs, the clean air and mild climate.

On the road between Dolna Banya and Kostenets is situated the first private certified airfield in Bulgaria. It was established in 1999 by pilot Eng. Vatko Beshliev. The airfield has a pool, a volleyball ground, a tennis court, snooker facilities and other amenities. The favourable climate in the region, the proximity of mountain resort villages provide good conditions for aviation tourism.

Another attraction are the white storks which are a good omen. Dolna Banya is among the first winners of the first prize of the National Contest for the greatest number of stork nests with 21 nesting couples of white storks.

Directions

Directions from Sofia Airport to Dolna Banya
Leave the airport from Terminal 2, at the first set of lights turn left. Continue straight you will be on a dual carriageway and flyover. When you reach the first bridge take the immediate right turn after you have traveled under the bridge. It’s just so you are traveling the right way on the main road that you will join. You do not travel past the bridge, only under it. Once you have taken the turn take the next immediate right (as if you are going to the petrol garage) and join the main road via the slip road.

Travel along this road until you reach some traffic lights. Go straight over these lights, and you will be on the main motorway towards Plovdiv. Carry on this road for about 30 minutes (I reckon approx 40 km). You will go past a large garage on the your side of the road, you then need to take the next exit for Kostenets (it will probably be in Cyrillic so maybe worth asking the car rep to write the Cyrillic for Kostenets and also Borovets so you know what to look for) If you go through a long tunnel on the motorway you have gone past the exit you should have taken, so leave at next exit and go back!

At the end of the slip road turn right towards Kostenets. Carry on this road for 15 minutes, past a modern garage on the left (I think there is another garage before the modern one, but you will notice the modern one). A short while past this take the left hand road signposted Borovets. It is a quite sharp left turn. Go down here to end then turn left again up a slight incline (there is a market on the left). Follow this road and it will take you into Dolna Banya (you will go past first the small airfield on the right) and if you look to your left you will see the Golf Club Ibar development.

Can't wait to go back
What a great experience it was to stay on the Ibar golf development. All three of us who stayed in your apartment just loved the high spec layout and furnishings and the spaciousness of the two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen/lounge/diner and the large sunny terrace where we enjoyed several breakfasts and suppers absorbing the amazing views in all directions. Can't wait to go back for another unique holiday! With best wishes

The time in your apartment was great!
The time in your apartment was great! The viewing from the balcony in the mountains was fantastic and the apartment is complete appointed (We are missing nothing there) The golf club area was safe and the security at the entrance was very friendly. In Kostentes is a big T-Supermarket and in Dolnya Banya a great restaurant (with high quality and cheap prices). For us was your apartment the perfect base to visit the bulgarian rally

Fantastic
We booked the apartment at Ibar to use as a base for our holiday in Bulgaria. The apartment was very clean, fully equipped and had magnificent views of the mountains and countryside. Beni looked after the apartment during our stay and was very friendly and helpful. Although the complex is not fully operational there was a small club house where we met with other holiday makers and a couple of much needed swimming pools as the weather was glorious most days with temperatures reaching 30 degrees plus. I would certainly recommend your apartment to anybody wishing to visit this part of Bulgaria. Thank you Mark. Cathrine and Mona
