Itinerary

Beglik-Tash

one hour

Begin your day with a drive from Burgas along one of Bulgaria’s most beautiful coastal routes. As the city disappears behind you, the landscape changes. The Black Sea opens to the horizon and the forests of Strandzha Mountain begin to appear.

First, stop at the ancient Thracian stone sanctuary of Beglik-Tash, the Bulgarian Stonehenge of the Black Sea. Hidden among the forests near Primorsko and the Ropotamo Nature Reserve, this site is home to enormous stone formations, sacred circles, and forgotten rituals.

Created and used by the ancient Thracians, the sanctuary dates back to prehistoric times and continued to be connected with religious practices for centuries. Archaeological research suggests activity here from the Bronze Age and later Thracian periods.

Walk among the giant megaliths and discover the sacred stone circles, the ritual platforms, the “Marriage Bed” of the Sun God and the Mother Goddess, the stone labyrinth, and the ancient astronomical elements of the sanctuary.
Primorsko

4 hours

After that, continue to the nearby beach of Primorsko, where you will have the opportunity to relax for about 4 hours, have a lunch break, and optionally - take a surfing lesson with a professional instructor!

Learn basic surfing techniques, ocean safety, how to stand on the board, and how to catch your first wave!

Whether you are a Eurovision fan, a family traveling with children, a couple looking for adventure, or simply someone who wants a unique memory from Bulgaria, this is your moment to connect with the Black Sea: relax, swim, take photos, and enjoy the seaside!
Ravadinovo Castle

one hour Admission not included

Finally, in the afternoon, visit the magical castle of Ravadinovo, a dream built from stone, love, and imagination. Hidden among gardens, lakes, and flowers near Sozopol, this extraordinary castle looks like something from a medieval fairy tale.

Explore the castle towers and courtyards, beautiful gardens, lakes and sculptures, romantic photo locations, and one of Bulgaria’s most unusual attractions.

Finally, after a great day of exploration and relaxation, by 6 pm you will be back in Burgas.
