About this ride
Sofia is only a few hours east, but public transport between the two capitals is limited and often slow. Travelling by private car is the easy answer, especially if you have a flight to catch from Sofia Airport.
The road passes through Kumanovo and Kriva Palanka before crossing into Bulgaria at Deve Bair, then drops down through the hills of Kyustendil toward the capital. It is a green, peaceful route, and we are happy to stop wherever you like along the way.
What you get
- Direct drop-off at Sofia Airport or any address in the city
- Relaxed departure times to match your flight
- Drivers familiar with the Deve Bair border crossing
- Rest stops whenever you need them
- Fixed price for the whole car, not per person
