Santa Marina Residential Village

Beach vs. Streats

by dankata

Most people come to the town because of its charm, not for the beaches attached to it. In fact very few set a foot on the beach, the rest are usually busy curing hangover or trying to remember the name of the person sleeping next to themselves.

Ostrov Sv. Ivan/St. John's Island

by bijo69

The island of Sv. Ivan is the largest one along the Bulgarian coast and situated just off the coast of Sozopol. It's uninhabitated by humans, but has a large population of birds (it's a nature reserve).
You can also find the ruins of a 13th century monastary and a lighthouse.
Boats to the island can be hired along Kraybrezhna street. The one hour tour costs about 30 (if I remember it correctly) BGN for a boat taking up to 8 persons.

Sozopol

by bijo69

Sozopol is an ancient settlement which turned into a popular beach resort. All around town you'll see remains of centuries gone by, but the beaches are decent aswell. Certainly a pleasant place to spend some time, although it does get crowded!
