It's hard to imagine a holiday in Sozopol without a rich cultural program. The city, whose history dates back more than 26 centuries, will amaze you with its ancient treasures. Not without reason, the Old Quarter of Sozopol is a UNESCO protected area.
Tourists who prefer to explore the city on their own can use a Sozopol sightseeing map. Those who prefer organized activities can take advantage of group tours. There are some amazing places you'll definitely want to visit.
It would be impossible to describe Sozopol's attractions without mentioning the city's Archaeological Museum. A large collection of Greek amphorae, Hellenistic artifacts and Christian art from the 17th to 19th centuries are the gems of the museum's collection.
Visit to the Church of the Holy Virgin will be remembered by visitors for the charm and exquisite lightness of the lace architecture and the amazing wooden carved iconostasis of the XVIII century.
It would be a big mistake to vacation in Sozopol and not see St. John's Island. The island is one of the largest Black Sea islands in Bulgaria. It is on this island that there was a 13-meter statue of the god Apollo, taken away as a trophy by the Romans.
