Primorsko
Primorsko is famous for its graceful arcing
ten-kilometer sandy beach, the longest and prettiest on the coast.
Location: The town of Primorsko is
relatively small as it has population of about 2,500 people. 52km south of
Bourgas, the town lies on a cape jutting out between the Stamopolo Bay and
the Dyavolski (Devil's) Bay. The town has two beaches, the Northern and the
Southern ones. The former is more open and offers rough sea, which makes it
treasured by surfers, while the latter is smaller and calmer, and hence
preferred by families. Traditionally, the Southern Beach gets overcrowded
during the top season, which makes holidaymakers sunbathe at nearby beaches,
such as the one of the International Youth Centre. The youth centre is
situated only 1-2 km to the south of the town and represents a typical
holiday city for young people with plenty of villas, bungalows, hotels,
bars, discos, and various sports grounds. The area is forested with
deciduous trees and vegetation and is arranged as a cultivated park in an
old oak wood. The centre was built in socialist times in a bid to promote
interaction among youngsters from Soviet Bloc countries.
 History:
The Ottoman-time village of Chenger (later known as Kyupria) grew into a
modern resort only after the Liberation in the second half of the 19th
century.
Places of Interest: The most popular
nearby place is the river of Ropotamo, famous for the thick ('Longoz')
forest, otherwise typical for tropical climates, along its banks. The marsh
of Arkutino also falls within the boundaries of the natural reserve. Besides
its attractive rocky formations, the right-hand bank of the river also
features one of the largest natural reserves of Water Pelin - a rare and
treasured herb - in the country. Unfortunately, the commercialisation of the
Black Sea coast in the last few years is widely fuelling concerns about the
future of the flora and fauna of the natural reserve.
Accommodation: Besides the plenty of large and smaller hotels,
companies' rest homes and private lodgings in the town, one can find
relatively cheap accommodation in the youth centre, or alternatively, in the
neighbouring Iglika, Perla or Romantica campsites. The town has grown
immensely in the past few years and is currently one of the most popular
Black Sea resorts among foreign and Bulgarian tourists, due to its
relatively moderate prices and good infrastructure.
 The
climate is miled to subtropical with very low rainfall in the summer. The
avarage tempreture in July 27C, but
often
reaching 30-33C. The 10 km long sandy beach strip; the calm warm summer sea
waters; the unique combination of sea and oak forest, the long sunny
days and the fresh air make this beaches one of the best in Bulgaria. |
