Description
St. Vlas is a beautiful coastal village about 25 minutes drive from Bourgas airport. It is situated approximately 4 km north of the lively resort of Sunny Beach and 9 km from the ancient town of Nessebar. Lying at the foot of the spectacular Stara Planina mountain range, the natural conditions from the sea, forests and mountains offer the purest of air.
St. Vlas is a much smaller and quieter resort than neighbouring Sunny Beach, which is ideally suited to families and couples or those wishing to escape the noise and crowds, but it has all the facilities of Sunny Beach at hand when you want a change of scenery. You will find the locals very friendly and helpful and most can speak English.
St. Vlas has three beaches measuring approximately 1.5 km in length, offering a variety of water sports for the energetic, or peace and seclusion for those wanting a more relaxing holiday. The gentle sloping waters are ideal for young children. A brand new luxury marina is under 50 metres stroll from the apartment.
There are several small shops in St. Vlas with plenty of bargains, a vast number in Sunny Beach, and for even more bargains a trip into Bourgas is well worth a visit. (You can catch a bus to there from Sunny Beach). Bulgaria is a shopper’s paradise with bargains to be had everywhere. You may want to leave your shopping for holiday clothes until you get there – it’s much cheaper
