21 Underrated Coastal Towns Cheaper Than the Amalfi Coast
20. Bulgaria's Ancient Seaport: Sozopol
Experience a different Black Sea coast in Sozopol, one of Bulgaria's oldest towns. Its ancient part, set on a narrow peninsula, is a charming tangle of cobbled streets and traditional 19th-century wooden houses with stone ground floors, overlooking the sea. Enjoy its sandy beaches, fresh seafood restaurants, and a burgeoning arts scene (it hosts the Apollonia Arts Festival). Sozopol offers a unique blend of Thracian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history, all with a relaxed, bohemian vibe and at prices significantly lower than Western European coastal resorts.
