Reasons to visit Varna

We, Bulgarians, call it the sea Capital for a whole Century. The city has rich cultural and historical heritage and natural phenomena such as mineral springs, known since Roman times. Otherwise, the first habitat traces had back almost 4400 B.C., at the same period when the oldest processed gold in the world was dated. Odesos, like one of the ancient names of Varna was, marks its heyday in antiquity. In different periods was a part as both Roman Empire and Ancient Greece.

The golden sands

Like all coastal cities, the beaches and the sea maybe be the main advantages of Varna. However, the sand is fine here, and the coast is amongst the wide ones at the Bulgarian Black sea shore. 10 km away from the city lies Golden Sands resort. It is one of the preferred places for a summer holiday at the seaside.

The mineral water

Bulgaria abounds with more than 700 mineral springs. St. St. Constantine and Helena resort is where people literally can dunk in that liquid natural treasure. That is also the first sea resort in the country. But for what reason do we recommend it? There are seven mineral springs on its territory, as the water composition has beneficial effects for both prevention and recovery from various health issues. Precisely because of the beneficial properties of water, high-class hotels are opened in the resort, focused on its use during a holiday in them. The water is low mineralisation, calcium-magnesium, with a temperature between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius. Its characteristics favour cardiovascular problems, problems with the endocrine system – diabetes, obesity, gout, musculoskeletal system diseases, and functional nervous system. And the enjoyment of the procedures themselves is an extra pleasure.

The oldest proceeded gold in the world

Although a relaxing holiday, you can discover a little bit of the local history of Varna. If you visit the Archaeological Museum, you will see its most valuable artefact – its oldest gold. The treasure is dated from the second part of the Vth millennium B.C., The Eneolithic period. It was found accidentally during construction works in the vicinity of Varna, as most of the Thracians’ findings in Bulgaria were discovered too. It contains around 3000 objects made of pure 23,5-carat gold with 6 kg total weight. Due to experts that treasure from the Ancient world has no analogue in archaeology, therefore it is no coincidence that this unique find was declared the archaeological discovery of the twentieth century!

On a hunt for truffles

A specialised truffle farm operates nearby Albena resort, northern from Varna. The search for those culinary ingredients from the woods becomes an adventure – a real truffle hunt. Two trained Cocker Spaniel dogs are primary hunters. After intensive exploration around the lands, the experience finishes with a tasting in the open-air farm restaurant. The hosts serve a variety of bruschettas with white and black truffles based on olive paste, with mushrooms or cream and cheese. There are also chocolate candies with pieces of white and black truffles. Products with the farm’s label Thracian truffles own a certificate of origin and guarantee of suitability according to European standards.
