Enjoy the Bulgarian Black Sea coast with all senses

Bulgaria has an impressive history, as evidenced by the many ruins from ancient times. In addition, the country is crisscrossed by picturesque natural landscapes, one of which is the Black Sea. From spring to autumn, a vacation in the seaside resorts is possible thanks to the pleasant temperatures. The high season is in summer, when tourists and locals alike flock to the sandy beaches. Away from the tourist areas, however, visitors can still find quiet bays dotted with romantic coastal resorts. The Black Sea coast is the most important region for tourism in Bulgaria. The long coastal region runs for 378 kilometers and has also established itself as a popular vacation destination on an international level. The region is well developed and offers vacationers many different accommodation options as well as sightseeing attractions. In addition, the inhabitants of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast are known for their hospitality and warmth.

The Bulgarian Black Sea coast has become increasingly popular in recent years among tourists looking for alternative and inexpensive destinations. Compared to other destinations in the south of Europe, the coastal region is far less crowded. The Black Sea is one of the clearest and cleanest waters in the world. Moreover, unlike the rest of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the salt content of the water is very low. In addition, the Bulgarian Black Sea coast has miles of beaches with fine sand, which are among the most beautiful of their kind in the whole of Europe. In addition, the sandy beaches on the coast fall very gently into the sea. In many places, even at a distance of 150 meters from the shore, the water reaches only shoulder height. Therefore, in the local resorts there are especially good conditions for families with small children and elderly people. The Mediterranean climate is captivating with a lot of warmth, already in spring and even late in autumn there is pleasant bathing weather with numerous hours of sunshine on many days. Summer is very long and presents itself with a reliable guarantee of good weather. In the high season the temperature can reach 30° Celsius, but the constant sea breeze provides a pleasant refreshment. For these reasons, the Bulgarian Black Sea coast is ideal for a vacation.

Basically, the Bulgarian Black Sea coast consists of two parts. This includes the northern Black Sea region near the city of Varna and the region further south, the center of which is the city of Burgas. The two parts differ in many respects, with the mouth of the Kamchia River serving as a divider. The northern part is characterized by impressive rocky cliffs, while in the southern part there are numerous small bays. On the northern Black Sea coast, Albena, Gold Beach and Varna are among the most popular beach resorts. There, the miles long and wide sandy beaches attract a lot of guests from all over the world. But also in the southern part there are beautiful beaches, whose shore areas gently merge into the sea, for example in Nessebar and on Sunny Beach. In the many seaside resorts there are different options to choose from when it comes to accommodation. Thus, visitors to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast are guaranteed to find a suitable accommodation option that suits their personal taste and travel budget.
