"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Varna is the language barrier. Although English is widely spoken in the city, many of the locals still speak Bulgarian, which can make it difficult for retirees to communicate with their neighbors and access services. Additionally, the cost of living in Varna is relatively high, which can be a challenge for retirees on a fixed income. Finally, the city's infrastructure is still developing, which can make it difficult to access certain amenities and services," remarked another expat who made the move to Varna, Bulgaria.
