Following on from our article last week featuring the most popular Bulgarian summer
holiday resorts of the north, our two part blog special continues with the stunning
beach resorts of the south. We start part two with the most popular and well known resort of Sunny Beach...
1. SUNNY BEACH
The
biggest resort in Bulgaria with the longest and widest beach strip,
lined with hotels spread across the beach amongst the dunes, the
resort of Sunny Beach lives up to it's name as the sunniest resort
for the sunniest people! This popular beach resort was awarded the
prestigious EU Blue Flag for proven ecological advantages. Sunny
Beach has a unrivaled mix of restaurants, taverns with folklore
shows, bars with floor shows, night clubs, casinos, discos and cafés,
providing culinary pleasures and a brilliant holiday atmosphere.
2. ST VLAS
The
coastal road leading north from Sunny Beach will take you to the
picturesque village of St Vlas. This small resort offers a beautiful
combination of sea and mountains, which is made even better by the
friendly local atmosphere. The adjacent beaches are of a total length
of approximately 1km. Besides the central beach there are also a few
smaller pebbly beaches, dotted around the small bay.
3. NESSEBAR
With
a fascinating history dating back some 2,500 years Nessebar has often
been linked with many ancient civilisations. The old quarter is under
a preservation order by UNESCO as a living museum town, housing the
remains of some 40 churches from different periods of history. Superb
opportunities for photography and painting exist here and the narrow
cobbled streets and gabled houses make Nessebar an ideal place for
guests looking for a seaside holiday in a typical Bulgarian town.
There is no “museum” feeling in Nessebar however as both the old
and new town burst into life daily with music and entertainment to
keep you going long into the night.
4. ELENITE
Elenite has always been a real favourite with our clients and it certainly
has plenty of style and originality. Ideally situated with cosy two
and three-story villas clustered around all the amenities you'd
expect in a holiday centre. The attractive beach and the excellent range of sports facilities make Elenite especially popular with families. There are also regular buses to take you to and from the famous resort of Sunny Beach.
5. SOZOPOL
Situated
on a small rocky peninsula of the southern Black Sea coastline, south
east of the bustling port of Bourgas, Sozopol today is a beautiful
seaside town, justly proud of it's past and keeping it's old
traditions alive with fishing methods that have remained unchanged for
centuries. Artists and Photographers find Sozopol's narrow cobbled
streets, historic churches, weather blackened eaves, bay windows and
wooded houses (many dating from the 18th
and 19th
centuries) perfect inspiration for their artworks. Sozopol also offers
a busy, thriving modern quarter with many restaurants, cafés and
bars which stay open late into the night.
