Best of Burgas – the city of birds and lakes

From wherever you look at it, Burgas is surrounded by water - to the east is the Black Sea, and to the west of the seashore, there are three different lakes - Burgas, Atanasovsko and Mandrensko. They form the largest complex of natural wetlands in Bulgaria where 340 of all 430 bird species in the country are located.

We will observe interesting, rare and endangered species and we’ll venture into the protected areas.

We will visit the fishing village of Chengene Skele - a unique place that keeps the spirit of the old fishermen.

We will explore Akve Kallide, a place that has brought together the millennial past of ancient civilizations, where the fortress walls of the ancient city of Terme (Thermopolis) and Roman baths of the 1st century AD are revealed

We will have the opportunity to experience the effect of immersion in the healing mud pools and lye in the Atanasovsko Lake, which form the largest SPA center in the country.
