This is a lovely site. It loads well, is easy to navigate, has a lot of information.. It is an amazing accomplishment for a first timer, or even an experienced site maker. well done.

Couple of questions - You call this an extreme sports site; it feels more like an extreme vacation site.
Are you marketing these vacations as extreme sports vacations? If so, that could be emphasized a bit more.

The verbage on the frontpage is alittle awkward - I think maybe be sure to use complete sentences rather than fragments. (The only website you will need to refer to .. could be This is the only website..etc.)
This is the paragraph you really want to grab your customer, so it should be slick and crisp..

Consider why you think Bulgaria is a better choice than anywhere else, and talk about that a bit. Is it better priced than another place? Is there more to do? Is the weather better? Is it less crowded?
These are the kinds of things you could highlight in bullet points.. just a thought.
Anyways, great site. Good job.

Regards,
Liz

Nice work,
Ditto above comments by Liz, add spell check; on the right of your screen "Backcountry" is mispelled "...rty"
-Went to 'booking-airport transfer' and lost your page. No way of going back as the browser's back did not work. Same thing for several other pages where it appears that you link to third party websites. Might want to make them open in separate windows. Use "_blank" in the links section.

Good Stuff

Nice pictures on the top!

Problem: when you go in "Locations" then "Sofia", then you choose:
"places to see"
"pubs and restaurants"
"shopping"

None of these 3 links above seem to work. It's coming up error "404 Not Found"

Cheers
