Bulgaria Black Sea Coast

You may not think of Bulgaria as your next travel destination. But, let me change your mind. This small country is unlike any other European destination swarming with tourists.
Bulgaria has almost everything that any traveler wishes to see and experience. It has an impressive array of glitzy beachside resorts in the Black Sea Region, its own share of frosted mountains and great skiing locales, beautifully preserved centuries-old towns, great architectural marvels and so much more.
Let's pay close attention to the famous Black Sea Coast of Bulgaria. Aside from the capital city of Sofia, this region is perhaps the most visited destination in the country. The area is not only famous for its sandy beaches and big time resorts but also for its warm spring waters that are believed to have therapeutic effects on those who are lucky enough to bathe in them.
The resort complex of Golden Sands features the best of both worlds. It boasts of 4 km of idyllic beaches and several hot springs. It is ideally nestled at the foot of Zlatni Piasaci National Park making it a great base for some outdoor exploration and adventure. There are also plenty of entertainment options, luxury hotel accommodations, restaurants and bars in the area for the enjoyment and pleasure of its visitors.
Next on the itinerary is Sunny Beach just a short 35 km drive north of Bourgas. It is located right smack in the middle of a semi-circular bay and enjoys 8 km of sandy beach. At its background are the imposing peaks of the Balkan mountain ranges making it one of the most picturesque beach destinations in Bulgaria. The area mostly caters to families and offers plenty of fun and adventures to all members of the brood. Its backyard is comprised of golden sand dunes, just perfect for a great day time adventure for the whole family to enjoy.
Not far away from Sunny Beach lies Nessebur. To arrive at the area, you have to pass through a long and narrow isthmus to gain access to the tiny peninsula where Nessebur is located. It is a charming and picturesque town that is considered as one of the oldest in the continent. Its history spans 9,000 years back to the time of the Thracians. Its historical legacy and old-world splendor made it to the UNESCO World Heritage site. You will have an incredible time exploring this chocolate box of a town by simply taking lazy strolls along its narrow cobblestone streets, sampling small town fare at its taverns and popping into medieval churches - there's no idle time to spare when in the area.
There are several beach resorts in the area and the selections of museums and art galleries are some of the best in Bulgaria. You also want to stop by its 19th century Assumption of the Virgin Cathedral and ruins of a Roman Spa. Nearby attractions that may be of interest to you include the nature reserve of Kamchia and the dramatic rock formations of Balchik.
To complete your Bulgaria Black Sea Coast exploration, a visit to the city of Varna is imperative. Imagine tiers of charming houses and buildings rising above the bend of Varna Bay and you have one spectacular destination.
