Ahtopol

Ahtopol has population of about 1,500 people and is located over a cape 87km southeast of Bourgas. It has two long and beautiful beaches, the second one (further to the north of the town) being used mostly by nudists.

Some places of interests are the Assumption Church and the St. Yani Monastery which are compelling sights for tourists. In the afternoon and evenings, romantic visitors enjoy walking to the town's lighthouse and walking over the nearby rocks next to the quay. Five kilometres south of Ahtopol is the mouth of Veleka River, one of the most beautiful rivers, which flows into the Black Sea, together with Kamchiya and Ropotamo. The mouth of the river is barred by a strip of sand stretched from one shore to the other, where some holidaymakers prefer to sunbathe and swim in the river (which usually has a much colder water) and the sea. Further south to the border, tourists can enjoy the sun at the beautiful beaches of Sinemoretz, Silistar and Rezovo.

Prices in Ahtopol are rather low due to the plenty of private lodgings and bungalows outside the downtown. While some of the bungalows fall in the lowest category, others are luxurious family villas, hidden among the forest.
