Burgas

Burgas is the fourth largest city of Bulgaria, after Varna. Surrounded by the coastal Burgas lakes and located at the westernmost point of the Black Sea, the Gulf of Burgas, Burgas has Bulgaria's largest and most important port. Today, the city is a key economic, cultural and tourist center of southeastern Bulgaria, with Burgas airport serving the resorts of the southern Bulgarian coast. The area is protected for its biodiversity, with rare and endangered species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The high number of wide beaches makes Burgas a favorite touristic destination in summer. After getting the perfect tan, you can visit the open-air museums of Develtum (ancient Thracian city) and Beglik-Tash (prehistoric rock sanctuary).

Burgas also draws visitors to the Bulgarian coast with its annual exhibitions and international festivals. The Sand Fest, a festival of sand sculptures, is one of the less-common ones. This festival brings together artists from Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia to create over 200 compositions, including sculptures taller than 8 meters. The event is held every year in Park Ezero and will be in its 12th year in 2019.
