There have been a lot of Bulgarian songs and poems dedicated to the coastal city of Burgas in Southeast Bulgaria. A lot of artists have captured on a canvass boats moored on the coastlines of the towns of Pomorie, Sozopol and Nessebar, not far away from the city. We can very well say that Burgas is the southern gem of the Bulgarian coast. Its mayor Dimitar Nikolov has extended an invitation for summer 2011. “Most of our efforts are to find as many points of intersection between culture and tourism as possible. Our first tourists are already here. The weather getting warmer, the active season of charter flights has set in.

“During last year excavations archeologists uncovered what is believed to be the remains of St. John the Baptist. They are exhibited for worship in the town of Sozopol. Everyone willing to see them can do so. I am sure most of the residents of Burgas have already seen them. There are also ongoing excavations on the island of St. Ivan. The municipality of Nessebar has prepared cultural surprises for the summer season, as well. The entire region is eagerly expecting an increased interest this year” Like a water wreath, three lakes spread around Burgas. These are Atanasovo Lake, as well as Vaya and Mandra Lakes.
