The resort of Sozopol (Bulgaria) is one of those ancient villages that provide an opportunity to escape from the usual everyday life and at the same time imbued with the “smell of history”. This ancient settlement on the Black Sea coast beckons with the charm of ancient city streets and dizzy with the entrancing smell of the sea and the aromas of local cuisine. Greeks, Thracians, Turks - many have chosen this country called Bulgaria. The reviews (Sozopol is not alone here, the same is said about such a resort as Nessebar) are filled with admiration for the opportunity to spend time "in a civilized manner" and with benefit. Here you can walk slowly along cliffs and admire the raging waves, you can bask on the beach or travel to nearby islands (especially since one of them - St. Cyril - is accessible for hiking, a breakwater stretches to it).
Bulgaria: reviews. Sozopol - ancient and new
If you are interested in history, you can visit the local museums and the ruins of the old Thracian fortress. It is located on the Atiya Peninsula and is made without any bonding material - just from fitted stone blocks. But even earlier there was an ancient settlement, as evidenced by many artifacts. Ancient Greek vases with amazing murals of black and red-figured style are stored in huge numbers in the archaeological museum. The peninsula where the resort is located is very picturesque. He is proud of all of Bulgaria. Reviews Sozopol is described as surprisingly beautiful and inspiring calm. No wonder the Greeks called it the "place of salvation", from which the name of the village itself comes from. The old city is separated from the new by a beautiful park. To go shopping and souvenir shops, just walk along its alleys. By the way, in the ancient part there were so many windmills before that even now it is nicknamed “Harmenite”. In the old town there is a very nice beach, closed from all winds by cliffs, with white sand and a gentle entrance.
Children like it here. And young people prefer to come here in September, to the "Apollonian" festivities, when musicians, artists and just art lovers arrive in the city. The beaches of the new city are huge, with lots of water entertainment and even a whole amusement park.
Bulgaria: reviews. Sozopol - what to see close and not very
Those who want to explore the surroundings, travelers who have been here, recommend going to Dune. Around this area are the most beautiful beaches on the Black Sea - wild, golden, deserted and deserted. Here you can enjoy only nature, sun and swimming. And exotic lovers will enjoy a tour of this jungle. This is a strange forest on both banks of the protected river Ropotamo. Her name itself sounds somehow African, and when you sail in a boat along its slow surface, it seems like a crocodile appears among the lilies ... Although seals and dolphins near the mouth of the river are not uncommon. On the cape, where it flows, there are beautiful caves and places for those who want to "lose weight." Underground grottoes and cliffs of the local coasts attract not only cavers, but also travelers who crave coastal beauty, where you can walk on foot without straining too much. In a word, Sozopol (Bulgaria) praises reviews in every possible way, and not one traveler gives himself the word to return here again.
