Holidays this summer are still available from £910 for a family of three - which works out at £303pp, including flights.

The Balkan country is well-known for its affordable holidays and stunning Black Sea coastline, with Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and Albena among the most popular.

The affordable resorts are packed with activities, restaurants, beaches and hotels.

But those looking for a more tranquil holiday should also consider lesser-known spots like Veleka Beach in Sinemorets, Nessebar, and Kavarna.

Regardless of where you go, Jet2holidays says you should find "unbeatable value," with many free sights to visit and cheap places to eat and drink.

This is also backed up by this year's Post Office Holiday Money Report, which shows Bulgaria in seventh place in the holiday cost barometer.

According to the study, a three-course evening meal for 2
(including a bottle of house wine) costs around £39.

Meanwhile, a cup of coffee should cost £1.83; bottles of local beer and soft drinks are also available for just under £2.

Here are some of the best deals we've spotted for a family holiday to Bulgaria this summer:

One of the biggest and most famous waterparks is the Action Aquapark in Sunny Beach.

This one is ideal for those travelling with younger kids as there’s a huge lazy river that goes all the way around the park and lots of mini splash zones.
