Bulgaria vs. Caucasus?
Bulgaria/North Macedonia vs Armenia/Georgia in May/June
Any tips on comparing these places weatherwise? My main worry is that mountainous areas like Rila or the Caucasus will be too cold/icy to access and should do either/both later in the year. On the other hand I guess most of Bulgaria should be nice in that time of year, Kazanlak should be good, etc. so would think only perhaps the higher mountains would be an issue.

We visited Rila in late April with no problems. It did not even cross our minds even when seeing snowcapped mountains from Sofia.
