Sozopol



 
 

Sozopol is situated on a small picturesque rocky peninsula on the Black Sea, in the southern part of the Burgas Bay, 30 km south of Burgas. 

Sozopol, originally named Apollonia, is one of the oldest Bulgarian coastal towns settled by the Thracians. The old town with its cobbled narrow streets, ancient wooden houses, churches and chapels give Sozopol its unique charm.

Excursions around Sozopol

Burgas

Burgas is considered to be the centre of the southern section of Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, and is its number one harbour. Although its historic and cultural sights cannot compete with those of its rival, Varna, being less crowded in the summer months, with its cafés and restaurants it can offer a pleasant venue for switching-off.
