| The accommodation infrastructure of the region is well
developed and adapted to serve the needs of visiting guests. There are expensive hotels,
rest-houses and pensions, nevertheless, a tourist will not have problems with finding
cheap accommodation: private rooms, hostels, mountain huts and camping sites. Recently,
agrotourist farms have become very popular. They not only offer an accommodation but also
other attractions such as horse and bike rides or camp-fire events. The distribution of accommodation places in the region is quite uniform but the areas most frequented by tourists: the Bieszczady Mountains, Lower Beskid and health resorts (Rymanów Zdrój and Iwonicz Zdrój) offer the majority of accommodation facilities. To receive detailed information about the accommodation facilities in particular regions please contact tourist information centres. |
