Gorgeous and classy!!!!.. the air in Bulgaria seems super clean .
I hope Bulgarian carriers to provide better connectivity to Asia ; I can't think of any shorter/ cheaper routes except Flying all the way to Western European points like Amsterdam then make a u-turn into Sofia.

Nice photos I've only been to Bulgaria once on a skiing holiday in 1999, I enjoyed it very much and while I did spend most of my time at the ski resort I did manage to have a look around Sofia one afternoon and also visited the Rila monastery.

Bulgaria has become a popular place over the past few years for British people to buy holiday apartments on the coast or to buy run-down rural properties and renovate them for a quiet place in the countryside to escape to.

Can you fly direct from KL to Istanbul?

Then it would only be a short overland trip to Bulgaria.

Though for luxury point-to-point travellers the best deal is to fly KLM via Amsterdam

Actually there is lowcost connection - from KL to Chennai with low cost carrier Air India Express and from Chennai to Istanbul with LCC Air Arabia and from istanbul it's only couple of hours to Bulgaria/Sophia (I did similar trip Bratislava-Sophia-Istanbul (nowadays there is direct flight connection between BTS and Istanbul) with 2 buses and from Istanbul to Kochi with Air Arabia (India)).
