Being one of the most attractive resorts on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, Sozopol is famous with its incredible rock formations and its wide and spacious beaches, perfect for one’s holiday. The resort is situated comfortably for the tourists – on 35km south from Bourgas and not far from the resort group of Nessebar, St. Vlas, Sunny Beach and Elenite. You can travel by boat to Nessebar to look at the neighbor resorts and meanwhile enjoy the sea calmness and breeze on the boat.

While the recession has slowed the development of almost all of the resorts, Sozopol is still an attraction with sights that are not under the effect of time and economics – the antique part of Sozopol. As Sozopol is the oldest town on the Black Sea coast, it can offer a vast variety of cultural heritage. It is believed that the town is dated from the end of the 5th millennium b.c., settled by civilizations, which existed around 400 years and disappeared because of climate changes. Back in 610 b.c. it was restored and settled once again – but this time, named Apolonia. The town was evolved to a trades and harbor center.

While you are enjoying your summer holiday and looking for interesting places to visit, the archaeological museum, which preserves that entire heritage is a place worth to be seen. Be sure to go to the antique town of Sozopol and try out the local speciality – the fig jam. You will be fascinated by the cobblestone pavements, the antique buildings and the preserved fortress wall – you will feel in the shoes of the Antique and Medieval man.

If you’ve been to Sozopol and missed all these interesting places, make sure you go again and feel the Antique and Medieval atmosphere. Also, be sure to find a comfortable accommodation amongst all the apartments for rent (апартаменти под наем)  and villas that are offered. And have a fantastic holiday!
