The landmarks in Sozopol are many: the ancient churches from the Revival Period - St. Zosim Church and The Holy Virgin Church. The following houses are quite interesting: the house of Dimitur Laskaridis (17th century, now an art gallery), a fish trader, Ana Trendafilova's (the house with the sun), of Kourtidis, Una Psarianova's (now arranged as Stenata Restaurant), of Grandmother Koukoulissa Hadzhinikolova (today housing the office of Sturshel Newspaper), Metropoliev's House (a medical centre at present), of Kreanoolu, etc. The old cobbled streets and high fences in front of which the old women sit and chat, knit laces and sell fig jam, are inseparable elements of a whole complex of three-centuries of history. Interesting places to visit are the Archaeological Museum and the Art Gallery. At the beginning of September each year, the town hosts the big Apolonia International Art Festival.
The Local Art Gallery

Unfortunately this was shut on the day of my visit but it is a rather splendid, though slightly out-of-character, building on the far end of the Old Town peninsula and looks as if it would be worth a visit!
Live music during your dinner

In evening many restaurants offer live music. Local band play generally folk bulgarian music. They encourage tourists to dancing and having fun. And believe me –it’s so magical atmosphere that you don’t want to leave restaurant ;-)
Sozopol
by Nobbe
One of the oldest cities in Bulgaria is Sozopol - "The town of Salvation". It dates back to over 2600 years ago when greek settlers first founded the city of "Apollonia". The reason of the change of the name was the proclamation of Christianity in the region. Today Sozopol is a national and international holiday center by the Black Sea. The population is about 7000.
