Sozopol, Coastal resort town on the Black Sea in Bulgaria.
The stone-paved streets lead through clusters of stone houses and wooden buildings spanning down to a shoreline with multiple sandy beaches.
Founded as a Greek colony named Apollonia in the 6th century BC, Sozopol developed into a major maritime center during ancient times.
The Apollonia Arts Festival in September brings together musicians, painters, sculptors, and performers in various locations throughout the old quarter.
The town maintains direct bus connections with Sofia and Burgas, while water taxis provide transportation to neighboring coastal settlements during summer.
The Castle of Ravadinovo, located 4 kilometers from Sozopol, features stone architecture with marble elements and landscaped gardens surrounding a lake.
