The Best Beach Resorts in Bulgaria

Author: Marinova Marina

Article:
The Bulgarian Black sea coast is about 400 kilometers long with
large and small resorts. Sun-seekers have a wealth of choices
for accommodation. Most of the hotels are privately run and
maintain Western standards of health and safety. Among the most
popular resorts is the northern Black Sea coast resort of Golden
Sands, which has 61 hotels, many recently fully renovated.

The resort, 17 km north of Varna, is an attractive combination
of a calm and warm sea, forested slopes near the beach, mineral
springs and a tempting choice of good quality restaurants. The
area is famous for the purest sand on the Black Sea coast.

Also on the northern Black Sea coast, very close to Golden
Sands, Riviera Holiday Club has six hotels located on the beach
in a nice and quite park.

Sunny Day tourist complex, 10 km north of Varna, has four hotels
ranging from five stars to two. The resort also has two
well-equipped spa health centres, with treatments from mud baths
to laser therapy to aromatherapy available.

Thirty km from Varna, Albena has a total of 14 900 beds in 43
hotels, ranging from two to four stars. Nestled in a picturesque
bay, the resort has a temperate climate and boasts a wide sandy
beach. Water sports, a children’s amusement park, and many fine
restaurants complete the picture.

On the southern Black Sea coast, Sunny Beach has more than 100
hotels, 2 campsites, over 130 restaurants, taverns with folklore
shows, bars with floor shows, night clubs, casino, discos and
cafes. Sozopol, about 30 km south of Bourgas, has a smaller
range of hotels, with about 1,800 beds between them. Sozopol is
one of the oldest of Bulgaria's coastal towns. It is founded in
610 BC by Miletian Greeks. Today, this charming place is a
popular tourist resort best known for its casual ambience, sandy
beaches and distinctive nineteenth-century stone and wood houses.

Nessebur, named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1983,
draws about a million visitors annually, and its narrow,
historically venerable streets, are often choked in mid-summer
with tourists sampling its culinary delights and shopping for
memorabilia. The town, which dates back about 9,000 years and is
famed for its beautiful medieval churches, has a competitive
range of hotels and private accommodation.
