Well Preserved Old Town
Con
gets too crowded and noisy in the high season
In a nutshell
Beautiful ,undiscovered, historic, charming....Good to relax, but plenty to do for those that dont wish to
kjnmartin Says: These kayak safaris are so relaxing, they are great for all the family and we saw loads of wildlife.The kids loved it and it was a nice change from the beach.My Dad even enjoyed it.The guys that run it are really helpful and fun, and it's a chance to see another side of...
Museum Southern Fortress Wall and Tower
bijo69 Says: This newly opened museum is located in a building dating back to the 5th-6th century AD and incorporates the remains of an old fortress wall, its tower and an ancient well.The collection includes pottery, sculptures, paintings, coins etc from times gone as well as some...
SoulFisher Says: And there are the beaches.The minus for Sozopol's two beaches is that they are not large enough to accomodate the increasing popularity of this town. In the summer they are crowded, though less than say Sunny Beach, Albena or in New Nesebar.The plus is that the beaches are...
SoulFisher Says: Sozopol is a combo of history and beach, but it is (or it was) more laid back than the combo Nesebar-Sunny Beach. It's more suitable for backpackers and it's people are friendlier. Sozopol and Nesebar were actually competitors since antiquity. Regarding history, here's the...
timada Says: The details of the houses remained intact from hundreds of years. Fasteners, the door handles ,postal boxes ,old inscriptions transpose you in the atmosphere of past centuries. Everything around you has its old story !
timada Says: Of course that in summertime you must go to the beach . The sand is fine ( like in Romanian beach of my home town , Constantza ) and you can stay in the sun or to enjoy the sea ! A walk at the seaside in the autumn it was for us a real pleasure !
timada Says: The wind is blowing powerful , huge cliffs down the sea and one of them looks like a Sfinx ! You can easily see the nose , mouth and its eyes . I made only a picture with the sea : funny is that I saw the Sfinx at home , on my picture !
johngayton Says: 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!
johngayton Says: Sozopol has two main beaches, the Old Town's Central Beach and the New Town's Harmony Beach both of which can be understandably busy during the peak summer season. But in early May when the sun comes out you can find yourself in this enviable position of having the beach...

Mehana Neptune: Great View and Food
BistritsaYank Says: A great view and atmosphere from both inside and outside dining rooms. Prices were higher than mehanas in the countryside but very low for a resort area such as Sozopol. I wish we had been as lucky in Nessebar or Golden Sands. Red Mullet- the whole fish were delicately...
Urania: Original, Creative, Extraordinary Cuisine
karlovmost Says: If you are a foodie, do not miss this place! Really creative dishes, wonderful combinations of flavors, plus beautiful presentation and excellent service. The chef here, Deyan Dimitrov, is gifted. All were good, but probably the gnochi infused with squid ink.
123hal123 Says: We've been trying to entertain ourselves in Sozopol since 6 days. It's a total nightmare. There are some venues in the city, most of them located alongside harmani beach. If you want to go to clubs don't come to that city.One of the places ve've visited is Mojito, we were...
are there any?: Nighttime in Sozopol is a good time for sleeping.
puzon Says: Sozopol is the worst place for nightclubbing I've ever visited. For sure, there are many clubs and bars but these are too loud and completely empty. Two nights in a row (friday and saturday-last weekend of July) we (me and my girlfrend) were making a journey through Sozopol...
A Bulgarian Bus Station With Signs!!
johngayton Says: I must admit to being rather impressed with the bus station in Bourgas (which is next door to the train station) as it actually has easy to read timetables and well signed bus stops. Regular buses run from Bourgas to Sozopol every half hour with a journey time of about 40...
bijo69 Says: Sozopol can easily reached by bus from Burgas. During the summer months you can expect to have a service every half an hour from 6am to 9pm. These buses stop at the bus station on ul. Han Krum between the old and the new town. Other buses from here also go to other places on...
Sozopol Bazar: Bulgarian cosmetics
timada Says: I remember , when I was a child , my father bought from Bulgaria some roses perfumes and soaps . It had a powerful smell and we kept in our room ... only our cat did not like it at all ! In the Bazar you can find a lots of those products ! Natural beauty and natural...
Slavyanka (??): Buying Your Fish From The Harbour
johngayton Says: I never did see the fishing boats here landing their catches but I assume they go out early and supply mainly the local restaurants but this fish van parked up by the harbour has a good looking selection of fish and crustacea and if you are self-catering would definitely be...
johngayton Says: This part of the Black Sea coast has escaped the major industry to be found around the cities of Bourgas and Varna and the only pollutants here in Sozopol's Old Town are the sweet smells from the fish barbeques and the wood fires of the local jam makers. Making jam in the...
travel2bg Says: Make sure to visit the old town. Nearby campings all around the city are also popular for young people and backpackers. For a lesser known place to go and relax, there is a rocky area by the sea in the old town.review at http://travelbg.blogspot.com/search/label/Sozopol The...
timada Says: Here is my favourite spot in Sozopol ! I could stay in this place and watch the waves of the sea without boring myself lots of time... The cliffs are huge and the wind is blowing with power . I would like to see this place in winter : it could be a remarkable experience...
