Kulata is the main cross-border point between Greece and Bulgaria it is passed by E79 international road. It is approximately 200 kilometers south of Sofia and 110 km sout-west from Bansko ski resort. The European roads in Bulgaria are prefixed by the letter ‘E', while internal motorways and main roads are indicated by numbers only. Place names, signposted along main roads, are in both Cyrillic and Latin script (on minor roads they may be in Cyrillic only) but road signs are international. While petrol stations are found on the main road exits from most large towns and every 30-40km (18-25 miles) along the motorways, on minor roads they can be few and far between.
