Bulgaria has been loved by tourists from Russia since the days of the Soviet Union. Once a brotherly country, today it receives thousands of holidaymakers who choose the Black Sea coast as a vacation spot. In addition to a beach holiday, here you can spend a sightseeing or active tourist vacation or go skiing for a week on a budget.
Bulgaria is also attractive for our compatriots because you can get to the country in various ways, and the road will not fly into a ringing penny. From the Russian side, you can fly here by plane, get there by train or bus; ferries run from the Ukrainian side. Bulgaria welcomes tourists all year round. Beach - in summer and autumn, mountains - in winter. Holidays here for every taste and inexpensive compared to other European countries.
Beaches of Sunny Beach
And yet, missing the warmth and gentle sea, people tend to get here in the hot season. You can bask under the summer rays, dive into the transparent waves by going to the popular beaches of Sunny Beach. Bulgaria is known for them all over the world. They are recognized as the largest resorts in the country, they have existed for more than thirty-five years and are located near Mount StarayaPlanina. The day here is longer than in other Bulgarian holiday areas. Due to the location of the beaches in the east, the sun begins to “work” here, as soon as it looks out of the horizon. It may seem to someone that there are few green spaces on the territory of Sunny Beach. But this is the center of civilized tourism.
A large number of hotels, entertainment complexes have appeared here in recent years. Therefore, those who choose a family vacation, and young people, and even those who are looking for a quiet corner, feel comfortable here. The beach is covered with even golden sand, in more "wild" places forming beautiful dunes. You can find free territories or areas where, for a small fee, they offer a comfortable location with umbrellas, sun loungers, and there are other equipment rentals. A special pedestrian promenade called "Promenade" separates the residential complex from the beach recreation area.
Golden Sands
Bulgaria offers many more comfortable vacation spots. The beach of the resort "Golden Sands" is called a paradise. A hundred meters wide and three and a half kilometers long, it is a place of fun and active entertainment, in addition to being able to passively soak in the sun. Water parks, separate water slides, sports grounds, cafes and restaurants - all this is literally a couple of steps from the beach. Here you can book a boat trip, go windsurfing and diving, ride a catamaran or the famous "banana".
Vacationers are waiting for a very rich nightlife in the Golden Sands resort, which is the hallmark of a country like Bulgaria. You can see photos of the beaches in our article.
Despite its small age, a place called Elenite has already gained popularity. Luxurious hotels and small villas are built here. Bulgaria is rightfully proud of this resort. Elenite beach is considered one of the cleanest, as is the water in the sea near it. Tourists are attracted by the developed infrastructure, as well as the all-inclusive system.

Saint Vlas

Sandy beach areas are located in numerous bays for a kilometer and a half. This is one of the attractive places for those who like Bulgaria. The beach is designed for a quiet secluded holiday, and entertainment lovers will appreciate the proximity of Sunny Beach with a rich program of active pastime.
Sozopol resort
Sozopol, founded in the IV century by the Greeks, is the historical pride of the country. However, not only contact with the past makes this city popular with tourists. Gorgeous panoramicthe view from the rocky shores, as well as the beaches framed by stone capes, distinguish Sozopol from other resorts. And at a depth of twenty meters from the shore, here you can see a unique spectacle - an apocalyptic composition of large columns.
Pomorie settlement
The unique he alth-improving microclimate of the resort village of Pomorie allows you to spend time not only with pleasure, but also with benefit. The beaches stretch for more than four kilometers.
And even the sand here is healing, it contains iron, and mud from the local lake is used to treat dozens of ailments. Pomorie is distinguished by comfortable temperatures during the holiday season, which, by the way, lasts until October.
Dunes
It is difficult to name the best beaches in Bulgaria. Each has its own zest, an attractive side. For example, in the resort town of Dunes, forty kilometers from Burgas, they provide the most comfortable conditions for windsurfing. The Blue Flag-winning beach is a semi-circle inside a nature reserve.
Varna
The resort of St. Constantine and Helena has been welcoming tourists for more than a hundred years. Just eight kilometers away is the famous Varna. Tourists can relax on the equipped sandy beach, enjoy pleasant wellness treatments in SPA centers or mineral pools. For "quiet" sunbathing and swimming - small cozy bays.
"Wild", nude beaches
There is another attractive side for lovers of freedom. Nudist beaches in Bulgaria glorifiedcountry resorts around the world. Topless sunbathing is also allowed here on the central beaches, although not everywhere. But there are also territories specially designed for fans of the "nudity".
Wild beach "Velena" on the one hand is washed by the river of the same name, and on the other - by the sea. There are no special amenities here, and nudists have to go far to the end of the territory, but there they are given complete freedom. The water in the sea is crystal clear, plus you can choose to splash in the river water. This beach compares favorably with others. Only small sharp pebbles on the coast can cause inconvenience, you should at least take care of light rubber shoes.
Another "wild" place is a nudist beach in Nessebar. It is not official, so vacationers will not find sun loungers, cafes and other civilization services on its territory. But here there is warm soft sand, clear water and a gentle entrance to the sea.
The beach for nudists in Albena is called paradise. Nearby is a comfortable hotel, which allows you to stay in close proximity to the place of "naked" recreation. It should be taken into account that the walking route of local residents passes through the beach. But if the number of people does not bother, then we can assume that this is an ideal place for nudists.
