About Sozopol

Sozopol is the most beautiful and most atmospheric historic town on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast — a small town of 5,000 inhabitants (swelling to over 30,000 in summer) on a rocky peninsula south of Burgas, the oldest Greek colony on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast (founded as Apollonia Pontica by Milesian Greeks c.610 BCE, named for Apollo, whose colossal bronze statue — the work of Calamis, c.450 BCE — once stood in the ancient harbour and was taken to Rome by Lucullus in 72 BCE). Sozopol's old town preserves the most complete collection of traditional Bulgarian Black Sea wooden architecture — the 19th-century National Revival wooden houses with their characteristic overhanging upper floors, bay windows and carved wooden facades, built directly on the rocky peninsular shore above the two beaches.

Sozopol's cultural life is anchored by the Apollonia Arts Festival (September, the oldest and most prestigious arts festival in Bulgaria, held since 1984, combining contemporary music, theatre, literature and visual art performances in the atmospheric open-air venues of the old town — the ancient theatre, the harbour and the old town squares) and the extraordinary underwater archaeological heritage of the ancient harbour (underwater excavations in Sozopol Bay have recovered unique ancient Greek sculptures, pottery and ship remains from the Apollonia Pontica harbour, displayed in the town's archaeological museum). The adjacent St Ivan Island (Sv. Ivan, the largest Bulgarian Black Sea island, 2km offshore) preserves the ruins of a medieval monastery (St John the Baptist, 4th–17th centuries) and is the most important ecclesiastical archaeological site in the Bulgarian Black Sea.

Important Transfer Information

Apollonia Pontica — Oldest Greek Colony on the Bulgarian Black Sea: Sozopol (ancient Apollonia Pontica, founded c.610 BCE) is the oldest Greek colony on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast — its ancient harbour, whose colossal bronze Apollo statue (by Calamis, c.450 BCE, 13 metres high) was one of the great sculptures of antiquity before its removal to Rome, and whose underwater archaeological excavations have yielded exceptional ancient Greek objects, give it a classical heritage of the highest significance in the western Black Sea.

Apollonia Arts Festival — Most Prestigious Arts Festival in Bulgaria: The Apollonia Arts Festival (September, held since 1984 in the atmospheric venues of Sozopol's old town) is the oldest and most prestigious arts festival in Bulgaria — its combination of contemporary classical music, theatre, literature and visual art in the ancient and National Revival setting of the peninsular old town gives it a cultural quality and an atmospheric character unmatched by any comparable event on the Bulgarian coast.
