Best Travel Tips to Varvara (Bulgaria)

varvara bulgaria

The small resort village of Varvara has a population of less than 300 people. It is situated between Ahtopol and Tsarevo on the southern Black Sea coast, and nearby is a small but very beautiful beach. Albeit with a length of less than 150 meters, this is one of the most attractive beaches on the Bulgarian coast. The water here is very clean and transparent, and to a large extent this is due to the small pebbles and coarse sand that cover the bottom. The area is famous for its rich marine life and good diving opportunities.
