 Sozopol : Profile
Sozopol is said to be the oldest town on the Bulgaria Black Sea coast dating back to the Bronze Age, with a very well preserved old town. A favourite place for artists, its bohemian atmosphere, cobbled streets and sandy beaches make it very crowded in the summer with tourists.
For visiting yachts, the new marina - now open but still not completed - makes this an attractive stopover.
On approach, be aware of long fishing nets on the west side of Sveti Ivan, they also extend to the south of it.
Position 42° 25.3’N, 27° 41.0’E.
This is not a Port of Entry.
There is very good shelter in the new marina, on the starboard side as you enter the harbour. Yachts wishing to anchor will find a sheltered spot outside the harbour.
