Sozopol is the oldest town on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. It is located 31 kilometers south of Burgas. It sits on a small rocky peninsula at the southernmost tip of Burgas Bay. It is divided into an old and a new part. The old town of Sozopol was designated a museum in 1974 by the Council of Ministers. The houses are built of stone and wood, and the streets are cobblestone. The town’s original name was Apollonia, in honor of the ancient Greek god Apollo. It was later renamed Sozopolis, which translates from Greek as “city of healing and recovery.” Later, after the Liberation, it adopted its current name, Sozopol. In antiquity and the Middle Ages, Sozopol was a major commercial center and an important port city.
Today, the city is known as one of the most beautiful spots on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, where ancient history meets the charm of the sea. With its unique architecture, Old Town, golden beaches, and rich cultural and historical heritage, the town offers unforgettable moments and captivates every visitor.
