In Black Sea Resort | Primorsko

The town of Primorsko is a sea-recreational resort, with the INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CENTRE located in its surroundings which is the reason why it is a centre of youth tourism. It is found 6 km to the north of the lovely little town of Kiten, 52 km to the south of Bourgas, and 442 km to the south-east of Sofia. It is located on a cape jutting out between the Stamopolo Bay and the Devilish Bay where the natural landscapes change like film pictures alternating spacious sand beeches with picturesque hills, and also the tropical vegetation in the delta of the Ropotamo River with the bizarre rocky formations of the Strandja Mountain. The old village built in this place in the past was called Chenger and Kjuprija later on.

Primorsko is first described as a unique combination of a hilly and low mountainous relief, indented by picturesque river valleys and various coast forms and second as a unique combination of sea and broad-leaved oak and beech forest. The total area of the beaches comes up to about 1 square km half of which is occupied by protected dunes. The natural reserve Ropotamo including the protected territories such as Arkutino, Water Lilies, Sea Wormwood and the Stamopulo Marsh is located close by.

Through the surroundings of the town the Ropotamo River and the Devilish River pass. The Devilish River receives its waters from the Devilish Lake whose level is below sea. The homonymous bay forming the river and the lake has firth features, namely swamps covered with reed and crimson.

The Ropotamo River is formed through joining of two small rivers-the Tzerovska and the Rosenska. In its lower stream the Ropotamo overflows its banks at a width of 30-50 metres. The region around the mouth is the Natural Park Ropotamo with its rocky phenomena such as Lion Head and Dragon House and 6 kilometres away the river is navigable. In the Ropotamo Reserve unique tropical vegetation the only one of its kind in Europe can be found.

The remarkable Butter Cape with its fantastic false fiords is situated in Primorsko.

A convenient way for travelling to Primorsko and its surroundings are chartered and regular flights to the Bourgas Airport. This year in the Primorsko region an airport for small airplanes mostly chartered with up to 24 seats has been started. For motor transport fans there is an active transport system.
