Shabla’s highest point of development was reached in early Byzantine times, when trade and crafts underwent brisk development and flourishement. However, this prosperous period was followed by a downturn, during which Shabla beacame a small settlement of fishermen.
The archaeological excavations at the Shabla Cape are the most popular place of interest in the area. The fish-rich Lake of Shabla is another interesting place to visit. It is genuine natural habitat, and a home to more than 100,000 wild geese. The Dourankoulak Moor, situated to the north of Shabla, is yet another location worth seeing. It is known for hosting a number of marsh birds, including birds in the Red Book of Bulgarian fauna.
