SUNNY BEACH
In medieval times, the bay situated between Cape Emine and Nessebur had
two large fresh water wells; residents earned a living by selling drinking water
to Nessebur, which had none of its own. This area is now known as Sunny Beach.
Started in 1958 and the largest of the country's beach resorts. Today, the wide,
six-kilometer-long beach is generally regarded as the best on the coast.
What to See and Do
Sunny Beach definitely lives up to its motto of "Where families come
first' and only the most jaded of kids could get bored here, with the likes of
kiddie trains, well-equipped playgrounds, clubs with foreign language-speaking
nannies, organized festivals, campfire sessions, kids' discos, donkey safaris,
sand-castle building competitions... Whew!
It's not just kids that get all the fun things to do. Sports include windsurfing,
sailing, parasailing, speed boating, scooter-driven parachuting, pedalboat-ing,
water skiing, horseback riding, archery, mini-golf, roller and in-line skating,
bowling, tennis, bicycling, wall climbing (for the truly bored), and beach volleyball.
To soothe sore muscles from all that physical activity the Bourgas and Globus,
among others, have mineral water spa treatment centers. Night Life runs the gamut
from floor shows and variety acts to casinos to clubs and discos (a favorite
is the centrally-located and futuristic-looking Iceberg).
Trips to historic and scenic spots throughout Bulgaria and internationally
(for example, overnight boat trips to Istanbul) can be arranged through
local travel services.
Accommodations
With 120 - and counting - hotels (45 more than runner-up Golden
Sands) accommodating
some 45, 000 visitors.
Early on, hotels were built with just three or four floors; additions and high
rises came later. Most hotels are not on the beachfront but are spread over a
large area, where numerous small shaded parks and gardens do alleviate some of
the congested feel.
Food and Drink
There are at least a zillion eating establishments of all shapes, sizes
and descriptions featuring a wide range of cuisine, including the Red Lion, an
authentic British pub replete with English ale and roast beef with Yorkshire
pudding for the truly homesick. Traditional Bulgarian folk-style mehanas are
well-represented by the Vyaturnata Melnitsa (Windmill), Buchvata (Barrel), Chuchura
(Fountain), and a host of others. The most unusual is the Hanska Shatra (Khan's
Tent) which sits atop a hill several kilometers north of Sunny Beach. Set in
a secluded wooded setting with beautiful views of the coast below, the spot is
supposedly the one where Khan Krum had a military encampment in 812. The large,
rounded structure has twenty curved concrete columns inside which connect at
the apex, resembling a huge tent such as was used by the Proto-Bulgarians. The
interior is decorated with mosaics, one of which depicts the Khan feasting. Waiters
wear period costumes. Live folk music starts nightly at seven, followed by an
hour-long elaborate floor show. Predictably, the place is touristy - and expensive
- but, what the heck, it's a vacation.

| summer 07, lesley finch |
| if you are needing to rest and re-charge your batteries then sunny beach is the place to go. We stayed in the Victoria Palace -very opulent -our room was spotless and was maintained to that standard throughout our stay. Hotel food was not so good breakfast was better as you could vary the choices, dinner was awful we ate out every nite in a local steakhouse (philipas) which was really nice good choice and really cheap. We experienced the usual sunbed scrammble with some people going down as early as 4.30am!!Local shopping mal had good coffee shop and lots of leather good shops not so good in the main street be careful there cheap tat!. Our holiday objective was to relax and this we did seen it wouldnt go back. |
| hotel karlovo, andy collins |
| we have just returned from sunny beach, hotel karlovo, i urge you all too stay away, the hotel is in appauling condition, the staff are so ignorant, the language barrier is a big problem, we stayed for a week and they didn,t even change our bedding all week, but they did change the towels, once. breakfast was 7.30 till 10, the three times we went down for it there wasn,t anything left and they made no attempt to ask us if we would like anything fetching. we saw the rep the morning we arrived and never saw him again nor could we trace him to air our views. the only positive point was that you could identify the cleaners because they did have the same coloured uniforms on, not that they came in our room. on saying that there are some beautiful hotels in sunny beach, just not the karlovo, please be aware, dont waste your hard earned money, you will be disappointed. |
