Sozopol holidays

Holidays to Sozopol combine Balkan scenery with sandy Med-style relaxation. This part of Bulgaria's Black Sea coast has plenty to offer. For history lovers, the Old Town provides a glimpse into life in the Greek colonies. And for the classic seaside experience, there are beaches on all sides of the peninsula.

Old meets new

The atmosphere of the Sozopol peninsula changes as you move from north to south. Up on the northern tip is where you’ll find the city’s Old Town, telling a 2000-year-old story through its cobbled streets. Heading south, the vibe changes to a much more modern feel. This is where you’ll find the city’s main beachfront, lined with cool bars, contemporary restaurants, and rows and rows of unique boutiques.

Seaside fun
