    GOLDEN SANDS ,4km long , is the largest beach resort on the Northern Black Sea coast.
    It is situated 19 km north-east of Varna, 490 km east of Sofia.
    Golden Sands is set on well-wooded terraces, the last foothills of the Balkan range reaching down to the sea. Its four kilometre beach slopes gently into water which has no dangerous currents. There is a wealth of sporting and other facilities available, all very moderately priced. Water-skiing, wind-surfing, paraskung, snorkelling, tennis, volleyball, mini-golf and croquet can fill the visitor's day, and a choice of restaurants, bars, discos and nightclubs provide evening entertainment.

    The beach is really gold. Sand is clean and pleasant for walking. The water is very warm in July and August. Sunbeds and umbrellas are payable.

    Varna comes to life at night time. The cathedral looks amazing when it is all lit up. During the day it is a beautiful building but at night it becomes spectacular!! The markets stalls look like side shows at a fair with the single light bulb dangling above the seller's head. Its a vibrant city that you must see by day and by night to get the true feel of the place.

    Fantastic 7k long park that runs along side the beach. Lots of interesting models and statues adorn the many pathways. Great for walking, cycling or blading. Many different plants and flowers,and a small "zoo", and a little fairground for the children. So after spending all your money in the shops you could come here and sit and relax just to watch the world go by.

    We enjoy people watching so when in Varna just sit outside one of many numerous cafes, with a drink in your hand and people watch!!!! The fashion in Varna is great for the younger ones, and the shoes are to die for, just one thing I would like to know, "do the girls feet really fit into those pointy pointy shoes ?"

    Varna's Archeological Museum has an amazing collection of artefacts from Varna's distant past. The oldest ever found items made out of gold are displayed here. They originate from a necropolis near the centre of Varna and are about 6000 years old. Apart from that there's a lot more gold to see from Thracian origins aswell as Greek and Roman ceramics and sculptures.
    There's also a large collection of medieval icons on display.
    The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm, Admission is 10 BGN.

    This beautiful cathedral was built between 1880 and 1886 and is the third in size in Bulgaria (largest is the Aleksander Nevski Cathedral in Sofia). It has very colourful murals from the late 1940ies.
    Admission is free, but if you want to take photos inside, you'll be charged 5 BGN. The cathedral is open from 6am to 10pm.

  • It is located in the center of the city. I am surte you will like it. Just be very careful with your handbags and rucksacks in the central region and busses as there are many jypsies there and you will not notice when they steel your wallet.

    The Above Ground Bit!

    Varna has so many hidden secrets tucked away in odd niches and the Roman Baths are one such. I've no idea what street they are on and they certainly aren't signposted (that I noticed). At first sight I presumed it to be some sort of bio-dome but it turned out that what I thought was a greenhouse was in fact the protective covers over one of Europe's finest preserved examples of a Roman Thermae.

    The modern Varna is now in the process of hosting Bulgaria's largest shopping mall but the ancient Varna had beaten it by several thousand years as the baths here in Varna were not just a simple bathing affair but had their own street of upmarket shops. In fact the Thermae complex covers about 7000 square metres and looks as if it was originally constructed on three levels. Not bad for a town which at the time had a populus of maybe a couple of thousand!
