Thanks to the unique combination of beautiful beach stripes, beautiful wooded areas cut by the rivers, the Southern Black Sea coast offers both great opportunities for marine and ecological tourism.
Here are numerous reserves preserving the rich biodiversity of the region. The Ropotamo Reserve, situated at the bottom of the river of the same name, is famous for its beautiful water lilies and one of the most striking rock formations in Bulgaria - the Lion's Head. It also includes several smaller reserves and parks, each of which retains unique flora, fauna and natural sights. These are the Ropotamo Natural Park, the Arkutino Reserves, the Snake Island and the Sea Wormwood. Other reserves in the region are Alepu - a seaside marsh, separated from the sea by a sandy strip where many bird species and Sand lilies migrate.
The Southern Black Sea coast offers the opportunity to relax at the sea for those who prefer the luxury and comfort - Dune and the town of Sozopol, as well as for the more unassuming, looking for peace and relaxation - Chernomorets, Primorsko, Kiten, Lozenets, Ahtopol, Sinemorets.
