Holidays to Pomorie dish out seaside vibes and ancient sights, all wrapped up in one of Bulgaria's best wine regions.
A seaside spot
Pomorie’s cluster of burnt-orange roofs and zigzagging streets are parked on a slim peninsula, so panoramic views of the Black Sea are pretty much everywhere you look. Its six-kilometre beach is lined with bars and seafood joints. There’s no skimping on history either – the town’s home to a 2nd Century antique beehive tomb. It’s 22 metres long, and the only one of its kind on the Bulgarian coast.
Lake Pomorie
This salty lagoon’s claim to fame lies in its mud. As well as being home to heaps of different birds – including rare and endangered species like ospreys – the clay on the banks of this briny bay is said to have healing properties. Pick your spot, slather on the sludge, and let the vitamins and minerals go to work.
