Bansko is a popular ski resort in the winter but in the summer it's even better. As well as a fantastic jazz festival, you can get out of the town and explore stunning countryside.

We will never forget standing on a remote hillside in the evening sun at the Belitsa Bear Park, where rescued dancing bears are able to live in semi-wild enclosures.

One way of accessing such sites in spite of the different alphabet and uncertain public transport is through Jordan Pankov who grew up in the area and oozes knowledge about local culture and nature. He runs day trips for small groups that you can tailor to suit you.
