Sozopol, one of Bulgaria’s oldest towns, lies 35 kilometres south of Burgas and is easily accessible within an hour’s drive. Divided into the Old Town and New Town, it offers a charming atmosphere with cobbled streets, Greek (and Greek-inspired) architecture, and traditional Black Sea Revival-style houses. The Old Town is basically a museum-reserve, featuring over 180 historic homes, art galleries, and the archaeological museum, which houses relics of Saint John the Baptist. Beyond its historical heritage, the town is known for its beaches, architecture, and the annual Apollonia Arts and Film Festival in early September. Sozopol’s rich history, dating back 7,000 years, blends with its modern cultural scene, making it a standout destination for a day trip.
