Since the fall of the communist system 15 years ago, Bulgaria has embraced western style capitalism. Its outdated infrastructure ( airports, motorways, hotels, etc) have rapidly been improved, over the past few years, with the help of the EU and as a result of changes in attitudes towards foreign investors.
Property prices have taken off , fulled by demand, not only from foreigners but also by the new bulgarian middle class, who have started to purchase real estate for investment purposes.
