Bulgaria's coastline is one of the last warm European coastlines yet to be developed. Only about 3 1/2 hours flying time from UK, it is an alternative to the Mediterranean. It is attracting the lion's share of property investment, from hotel building to the purchase of private villas and apartments.
The sandy beaches along the coast stretch over 200 km starting from the very northern resort of Duranckulak way down south to the border with Turkey. The golden sand and calm warm sea attract many thousands of tourist each year, which make the shore a buzzing spot of diverse culture and life styles.
Small coastal towns reside next to the modern resorts and the major cities of Varna and Burgas, which are a fine alternative for every kind of taste.
Here you will find plenty of sunshine, warm seawaters, golden sands and welcoming smiles.
The beaches face east, offering a wonderful view of the sun coming up over the water, and all the resorts are within easy access to Bulgaria's many inland attractions, which include Roman ruins, ancient castles and monasteries, and many vineyards. The waters of the Black Sea are calm and without strong tides, making them ideal for children.
Average air temperature in the summer is about 28°C, water temperature – 25°C. There are more than 240 hours of sunshine in May and September and more than 300 hours in July and August.
