Shopping in Sveti Vlas
Food Stores
Food kiosks are scattered throughout the tourist part of the city. The usual assortment is bread, pasta, storable milk, juices, lemonades, sweets. Often small stores have an alcohol department: wine, beer, spirits.
If there are a lot of customers - refrigerators are put in the tent, then you can also buy milk, cheese, butter, frozen foods.
In any case, you can buy everything for breakfast near your hotel.
Bulgaria sells good vegetables, fruits, berries. But the assortment depends very much on the turnover, and suppliers.
In short, do not be lazy to walk around the neighborhood and see what shops are nearby, for on the map, they are usually not marked.
Vegetables, fruits, berries.
The easiest way to find where you can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and berries is the main shopping street of Tsar Simeon. There are several stores specializing only in their sale.
Just remember that these are not supermarkets with large refrigerators for round-the-clock storage. Usually the goods arrive in the morning, and during the day they are completely sold out. If you come to such a store, and there is almost nothing on the shelves - ask the salesperson what time the goods arrive, and come at a specified time.
The city is also scattered around the tents, which bring fruit and vegetables - do not be lazy to walk around the neighborhood or ask your neighbors, where they buy fresh fruit.
Prices for fruits and vegetables are lower than in Russia. But do not expect them to be too cheap - the price is determined by the ability to pay, and buyers on vacation are very generous.

If you are interested in household stuff to fix clothes: threads, fabrics, buttons – go from the main square on the street opposite the king Simeon – it departs from the bus stop. (I don't write the title because you're unlikely to see it.) On this small street you will find shops, which are mostly used by locals and where you will find everything for the economy.
Large commercial shopping

Or you can try to persuade the taxi driver for 10 leva without a counter.
If you make a major purchase in Magic House – you can immediately deliver it for 40-50 leva. Is the price of delivery and denunciation bought to the apartment.
Pharmacy
The main pharmacy in St.Vlas located in the street of Sveti Vlas, and also in large supermarkets.
The drugs that you are treated at home, there may not be, so it is better to call the disease from which you want to get rid of. Local pharmacists know at least the names of the symptoms in English.
But it is even better to first call the doctor. According to your medical policy, which you were required to apply for a visa, you get a free doctor's call. The doctor arrives within half an hour, he not only put you in the correct diagnosis, but also write out a prescription for specific drugs that will be in the local pharmacy.
Some doctors can give you medicine for free. But if you were given a prescription with the signature and seal of a doctor – take an account in the pharmacy, in addition to the receipt of goods, then arriving home you will be able to receive from your insurance company reimbursement of the amounts spent by you on drugs.
