Sozopol Beach (Town Beach)

For an enticing blend of the old and the new, look no further than Sozopol. One of the oldest towns on the Bulgarian Black Sea Riviera, there’s a lot to see here historically speaking, from the Archaeological Museum to the Southern Fortress Wall to the Old Town area, where many of the homes are over a century old.

Once you’re ready to head down to the beach, you’ll have the choice of the town’s vibrant main beach or the more spacious Harmani beach. Both offer soft golden sand where you can bask in the summer sun, take a dip in the boundless blue waters, or party it up with one of the many visitors who come each year. The vibrant atmosphere makes Sozopol’s beaches a lively spot throughout the summer months.

If you want to visit Sozopol at its most festive, you’ll want to make sure to stop by in September for the Apolonia Festival - one of Bulgaria’s biggest art, literature, and theatrical festivals. It is a cultural feast and a true treat for culture vultures of all kinds.

Whether you are drawn to cultural festivals, historical sights, or lively atmosphere and summer fun, you’re sure to find something you’ll love at Sozopol Beach.
