Sozopol Town Guide

There is a resort town located on the south coast of Bulgaria, perched on a narrow peninsula overlooking the Black Sea. Taking a walk around the old town lets you soak up its charm, its beautiful cobbled streets meander all the way out to the sea, pushing forwards into the ocean and forming a stunning marina, full of charming little boats bobbing in the water

This is Sozopol, and you're going to thoroughly enjoy your holiday here

At a Glance

Sozopol is a great choice for a beach holiday. There's a good choice of hotels, the beaches are well cared for and there is no shortage of things to do for holidaymakers keen to make the most of their time here.

Enjoy time at the beach, take lunch by the sea or perhaps walk back into town and enjoy a snack in a pavement cafe. After lunch take a stroll down to the harbour and the water's edge, where you can see the islands of Saint Ivan and Saint Peter on a clear day. The rocky area that separates the Old Town from the sea is a great place to get a new perspective on Sozopol, or to stretch yourself out on a warm surface and dangle your legs in the idyllic Black Sea. This really is paradise.

To eat and drink

Here you can choose between the restaurants that tourists find or the traditional old town is easily Sozopol's greatest strength, and that includes the cuisine served here.

Visitors find it very useful to enjoy lunch in a convenient pizzeria near their hotel before strolling into town for a more traditional Bulgarian meal at dinnertime. What's more, many of the restaurants in the new town transform into nightclubs at night, bringing a whole new dimension to the area under the cover of darkness. For delicious traditional and local food try the old town where you can enjoy a variety of fresh fish dishes caught that day.

Transportation

As are most of Bulgaria's resort towns, Sozopol is remarkably well-connected, with plenty of transport options to and from international airports. Getting there doesn't present a problem, and neither does the transportation once you're here. The place is small enough to walk easily from one side to the other, and there's plenty to see.

Taxis are the best option. They can be easily hailed at any hour of the day - the drivers are most regularly found outside the big clubs in the early hours of the morning. Be sure to agree on a fare before you set off.

Things to do

Sozopol isn't short of things to do, with plenty of action going on down by the seafront and in the centre of town. Be sure to ask at your hotel if they know of any concerts or cultural activities going on - the locals are always looking for an excuse to get a party going and the majority of these are entirely free to attend. During the day, consider exploring the many churches that characterise the Old Town, as well as the nearby Amphitheatre Apolonia.

Aside from the lively cultural scene, you have the natural resources to enjoy. Relax on the beach or take a dip in the crystalline waters. If you want to get out of town for a bit, consider taking a quad bike safari around the village of Marinka - this offers a different experience and a bit of an adrenaline rush.

In a nutshell

There is no doubt about the secret to Sozopol's success; a balance of traditional Bulgarian charm against ultra modern amenities and luxurious hotels can hardly go wrong, especially when you throw in an active beach atmosphere as well. Not only do you have the convenience of being close to five-star restaurants, comfortable hotels and a plethora of attractions, you also have the opportunity to experience the old world charm of a place that feels like it hasn't changed in years.
