Sozopol
the town of Apollo, the Greek Sun God, was founded in 610 BC. Later, Romans arrived and took a 13’metre high statue of Apollo back to Rome. Every year, artists and actors arrive from near and far to take part in the Apollonia Art Festival. The town is colourful and romantic with a unique combination of exquiste surroundings and architecture of the National Revival Period. Vistors are struck by enchanting narrow streets, houses bedecked with flower baskets and breathtaking views of the sea. Locals are renowned for their hospitality and, in private lodgings, you can always sip a glass of wine and sample fig jam under the cool shade of fig trees.

In the Archaeological Museum, you can find pottery and marble sculptures, a bas relief linked to the Hellenic of 600 BC and a large collection of stone anchors from the 4th Century BC. Among the unique exhibits are 8 ships representing sea- faring from the Bronze Age to the Roman epoch. There is also a rich collection of coins and pottery stamped with the seals of local merchants.

The Holy Virgin Church was built in the 17th Century. Its wooden iconostasis and throne are among the best examples of the Debar School of Woodcarving (now in Macedonia). The building is partly dug into the ground and is surprisingly spacious.
The Saint Zossim Chapel is in the park in Sozopol. It was erected in honour of the patron saint of sailors.
The Saint Nedelya Chapel. If you untie the door, you can go inside to see the icons and light a candle.
