Starfish are one of the most amazing creatures that hides the depths of the ocean. They got their name due to the five-pointed shape of the body, which is interesting in that it always maintains perfect cleanliness. Tiny flaps on the surface of the skin shed the smallest bits of debris to keep this creature's skin gills clean.
According to the method of reproduction, starfish are asexual and sexually active. The first can be divided into 2 and 3 "beams", which then grow another 3-2 processes, respectively. Some species can separate one part, on which 4 shoots grow. In others, the offspring can grow in the stomach, in a special bag near the mouth, or simply on the back. Stars feed on crustaceans, other echinoderms and mollusks, demonstrating amazing strength when opening the shells of the latter.
Starfish can be of various colors. Amur samples, for example, are bluish with white patterns, henricia are beige or red. And evasteria -some of the largest ones are red with a blue pattern and have a “diameter” of up to 0.7 meters. They have very interesting eyesight - they distinguish day from night with the help of special cells located at the tip of each … leg.
The beautiful appearance of this animal contributes to the fact that numerous establishments, including hotels, often take such names for themselves. So did, for example, the boarding house "Starfish", located in the new part of the Bulgarian town of Sozopol.
This is an ideal place for families and for those who do not like noisy places with a lot of parties. The city itself is divided into two parts - historical and new, which together can be walked around in 3-4 hours. A separate tour of local attractions (Fortress walls of the 6th-14th centuries) will take about an hour. In addition, you can book excursions to Nessebar (Monastery of St. George, Church of St. Stephen, Church of St. John) or Pomorie (S alt Museum)
Pension "Sea Star" (Bulgaria) was built in 2001 and is a modern hotel, where each room is equipped with air conditioning, refrigerator, mini-bar, private bathroom, refrigerator, telephone and TV. In addition, the hotel has a shop, safe, luggage storage. There is free internet, currency exchange, entertainment (disco, massage room).
The price usually includes breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Here you can taste both Bulgarian and Russian dishes,Chinese or even Mexican food. A feature of the establishment is a nearby beach (50 meters) of an urban type, where you can take sun loungers and umbrellas for a fee. Reviews about the hotel, vacation and the city itself are the best, which is partly due to the exceptional friendliness of the staff and locals who speak excellent Russian.
A small disappointment from a vacation on the Black Sea may be that starfish are not found in it. This is due to the low salinity of the water in this area. But there are many other natural beauties in the region that are definitely worth seeing.
