Bulgaria Black Sea Coast
“Pontus euxinos” (hospitable sea). That’s how the ancient Greeks called the Black Sea - a sea that is indeed tempting and hospitable - clean and calm, without any tides or dangerous animals. The sandy sea bottom slopes are gently, making bathing and swimming safe for even the youngest vacationists. The Black Sea is half as saline as the Mediterranean.
The Bulgarian coastal stretch faces east and extends over 378 kilometers, dotted with beautiful large beaches covered with finest golden sand. The majority of Bulgaria beaches have been awarded the EU Blue Flag for their environmental excellence.

Air temperatures in summer vary between 23°C - 27°Celsius, water temperatures between 17°C - 25°C. There are more than 240 hours of sunshine in May and September, and more than three hundred in July and August. The deep-cutting coves and rugged shores, wooded hills and romantic peninsulas, vineyards and orchards, fishing towns and secluded campsites lend a unique fascination to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
Tourists have a great selection of resorts and accommodation to choose from - depending on their budget and on the particular kind of holiday they are interested in. One can find anything from luxurious 4 to 5-star hotels, large holiday hotel complexes, private hotels, small guesthouses - to more secluded holiday villages, villas and B&B style rooms.
The large major sea resorts include Albena, Golden Sands, Riviera Holiday Club, Sunny Day Tourist Complex, St. Constantine, Elenite Holiday Village, Sunny Beach, Dyuni Holiday Village – all of them tempt with luxury, innumerable sports facilities, entertainment and inland trips to noteworthy landmarks.
