If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from crowded beaches and want to soak up the sun in a secluded spot, Durankulak Beach is the perfect destination. Located in the Shabla Municipality, about 106 kilometres from Varna, this tranquil beach offers a serene atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. Like many other northern Bulgarian Black Sea destinations, having your own vehicle is essential to reach Durankulak Beach, as there is no public transport available from Varna or Golden Sands. As an added bonus, you’ll be just 2 kilometres away from the Romanian border.

Taking its name from the Busan International Film Festival, BIFF is certainly at its liveliest during this esteemed annual event, but remains a happening place throughout the rest of the year. It's best known for the street food stalls dotting the area and the 400+ metre-long street itself, with a plethora of Korean specialities cooked up by the skilled vendors (look for Gwangbokdong Food Street for the biggest selection). Our top pick among those would have to be the ubiquitous 'hotteok' pancakes stuffed with a sweet mix of crushed seeds and brown sugar. Nampo-dong is the greater area around the street itself, packed with a dizzying array of restaurants, shops, cafes, movie theatres, and more. Evening is the best time to come.
