Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast - the ultimate summertime experience.
The Bulgarian coastal stretch faces East and extends over 378 km, dotted with vast beaches covered with fine golden sand. With the majority of beaches awarded the EU Blue Flag for their environmental excellence, the Bulgarian Black sea coast has become one of Europe's favorite summer vacation destination in recent years.
Air temperatures in summer vary between 25°C and 32°C, water temperatures between 17°C and 27°C. There are more than 240 hours of sunshine in May and September, and more than 300 in July and August.
The deep-cutting coves and rugged shores, wooded hills and romantic peninsulas, vineyards and orchards, fishing towns and secluded campsites lend a unique fascination to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
The Black Sea is very tempting and hospitable - clean and calm, without any tides or dangerous animals. The sandy sea bottom slopes gently, making bathing and swimming safe for even the youngest holidaymakers. The Black Sea is half as saline as the Mediterranean.
Holiday-makers have a huge selection of resorts and accommodation to choose from - depending on their budget and on the kind of holiday they are interested in. They can find anything from luxurious 4 to 5-star hotels, large holiday hotel complexes, private hotels, small guesthouses - to more secluded holiday villages, villas and B&B style rooms. Whatever the resort choice, leisure travelers will always be tempted with luxury, innumerable sports facilities, entertainment and inland trips to noteworthy landmarks.
