SOZOPOL

Sozopol is a town in southeastern Bulgaria on the Black Sea. It is located on several small peninsulas in the southern part of the Burgas Bay.
It is the successor of the Greek colony Apollonia and together with Nessebar is one of the oldest Bulgarian cities. From antiquity to the 17th century Sozopol was a thriving trade center. It is known as a fishing and wine center and occupies an important place in the grain trade of Thrace. From late antiquity the city has developed as an important church center with many medieval monasteries.

With its cultural and historical past, with its preserved architecture from the XVIII - XIX century, its beaches and the annual arts festival "Apollonia" Sozopol attracts many tourists today.
In the waters of the Sozopol Bay are the island of St. Ivan and the small island of St. Peter located next to it.
The climate in Sozopol and the region is halfway between the humid subtropical climate and the Mediterranean, with relatively warm but windy winters (average January temperature +6 ° C) and long, warm summers (average July temperature +27 ° C). The Black Sea and air transport from the Mediterranean are its main drivers.
