Holidaymakers on our Black Sea coast signal that traders on the Varna beach offer patties, pretzels, as well as other snacks and boiled corn at unprecedentedly high prices.
For example, if in the center of Varna an ordinary breakfast with cheese costs 80 stotinki, on the beach in the city its price is twice as high. Holidaymakers say there has always been a big difference between the goods offered in the city and those on the beach, but this year it is shocking.
The offered patties and pretzels have over 200% markup, and another question is the extent to which traders comply with the law with the goods they sell on the beach.
The patties are sold for 2 leva, and the piece of pizza - for 3 leva.
The control of trade on the beach is extremely low, and the sellers, most of whom are Roma, earn between BGN 100 and 200 per day from their activity.
You can buy boiled corn on the beach for between 2 and 3 levs per cup, and very often the corn is distributed in huge pots. Last year, health inspectors banned corn from being boiled on the beach, and now traders have begun looking for places to build their makeshift cauldrons.
The situation on the Southern Black Sea coast is different due to the lower influx of tourists.
The big beer there sells for BGN 2.50, and the frappe - for BGN 4. A Shopska salad costs between 4 and 5 leva.
50 grams of quality brandy by the sea is between 3 and 4 levs.
A portion of french fries is available for BGN 2.60, and the kebab and meatball - for BGN 1.50 per piece. In the more expensive taverns and restaurants, however, kebabs and meatballs cost 3 leva.
The cheapest this year is the ice cream in a waffle cone, which is available only for a lev. The most expensive fish this year is due to poor catches.
Due to heavy rains, most vegetables are more expensive than usual. Buffalo heart tomatoes around Burgas are sold for BGN 4.50 per kilogram, and ordinary pink tomatoes - between BGN 3 and 4 per kilogram.
The kilo of red tomato is about 3.50 leva, and green - 2.50 leva.
