ACTIVITY DETAILS

We will pick you up from any point in Varna and will take you to the amazing sightseeings that the north-east coast of Black Sea has to retrieve. You will be collected by a comfortable vehicle, driven by a tour guide. You can choose in advance the narration language from one the following - English, Russian, German, Italian. You choose the start time of the tour and consider its length of approximately six hours. Starting at Varna, we first visit the Aladzha monastery - a rockside monastery which now operates only as a museum. You are able to explore the ancient cells that the monks of the monastery had once inhabited. From the top cells you are also able to enjoy a great view of the black sea just above the crowns of the trees in the Monastery's garden. We spend at the Aladzha monastery about one hour and then we continue to Balchik where we shall explore a phenomenal botanical garden. With its unique species in all available colors, the botanical garden of Balchik provides enormous joy for the senses. It is actually arranged on terraces on the very side shore and thus combines the view of black sea and the colorful flowers all together. Along with the botanical garden, we stop by the Balchik Palace - although small in size, it is very important from historical, cultural and architectural point of view. We find out why the creature of the Palace - Queen Mary of Edinbourgh herself had decided to rest in peace here. We spend about two and a half hours at the garden and the Palace. Then we might recommend you a nice restaurant to have lunch at the beautiful Balchik before we head to Kaliakra Cape. Within twenty minutes we are at the picturesque cape of Kaliakra. A combination of wind power generators field, a fortress, military base, a church and of course - the endless sea makes this place a magical nectar for the eyes and the soul. The place preserves the Bulgarian folklore while if we are lucky, we can even watch the Black Sea dolphins' play in around the cape. We would stay at Kaliakra cape for about an hour before spending forty minutes more to get back to Varna. We would drop you off at the place most convenient for you there.
