The Famous Coast Kaliakra Bulgaria
Haven’t you yet visited the famous Cape Kaliakra on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast? Nothing could be easier than that - by renting a car from "Pro Cars" Ltd. you can quickly, easily and conveniently reach every astonishing corner of our beautiful country, and this exact place is definitely worth it.
The famous Cape Kaliakra is located only 70 km. northeast of Varna. Extending a full two kilometres into the sea, it is also part of the hundred national tourist sites, which makes your breath stop when you stand before the boundless view of the Black Sea coast. “Kaliakra” from Greek means “beautiful cape”, and over time, various legends and prophecies have been told about it.
One of the widespread myths is that it was from its very tip into the sea that forty maidens with braided hair threw themselves, so as not to be captured by the Ottoman enslavers - that is why at the beginning of the cape there is an obelisk called “The Gate of the Forty Maidens”. Another legend tells how Saint Nicholas was fleeing from the Turks, and God was extending the land beneath his feet…
The seventy-meter shore blocks the boundless force of the sea waves and the fury of the sea and carves out bizarre and breathtakingly beautiful rock caves and niches. Cape Kaliakra is undoubtedly among the most beautiful corners along the entire Black Sea coastline. It has been declared a protected area precisely because of the wonderful reddish-brown rocks and the crystal-clear and clean water of the sea. In this heavenly corner nests the rare species of Aristotle’s cormorant, the thick-billed lark and many more different rare species, and with a little more luck and good weather, you will also be able to see whole herds of dolphins.
On the cape, there is a museum, a sea lighthouse, a restaurant, a chapel and a meteorological station. The site is open year-round, from 9:00 to 20:00, and during the tourist season, talks by a specialist can be organised.
And for true connoisseurs of seafood cuisine, in the Kaliakra bay, there is also a mussel farm, where you can try an incredibly varied seafood menu. You will enjoy a wonderful view, clean air and great specialities, and nearby there is also a convenient hotel where you can relax and rest after the tourist tour. The hotel is located in the village of Bulgarevo, immediately next to the “Dalboka” area.
Undoubtedly, visiting this heavenly corner, which has gathered within itself the beauty of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, is definitely worth it.
