Sozopol - where to eat, and where to beach

Чети на български

[Last updated July 2017] As you might have already noticed, Sozopol is one of my favourite cities at the Black Sea coast. I love everything about this place - from the wonderful beaches to the romantic atmosphere in the Old Town. That's why I decided to share with you some examined bars and restaurants, in case you happen to find yourself here one day.



The beaches

I avoid going to Sozopol Beach, and I prefer the surrounding beaches at camping Gradina and camping Smokinya. Gradina is more kind of a party place, where young people go camping or just beaching, and partying till sunrise.

Another beach bar at Gradina is Bash Beach. It offers lounges and umbrellas, The price for using them is 15 leva (7.5 euro). It's a cool place, with cool people, nice beach music and cold drinks.

Right next to Bash Beach is Kite Bar - a very trendy place right now. The price for using lounges and a beach umbrella is 20 leva (10 euro). People go there not only for the day but also for partying in the evenings too.

Camp Smokinya is not that loud and entertaining, but it is still one of my favourite beaches. Beach bar Smokinja is the place where you can spend a whole day listening to some nice tunes, drinking cocktails and enjoying this little piece of heaven.

Eating 

I highly recommend you to avoid eating Black Sea mussels if your stomach is sensitive. Also, avoid drinking tap water and skip eating soups at restaurants.

You are on a vacation so you can treat yourself properly. For great pancakes, I recommend you pay a visit to "Rabotilnitsa na veselite palachinki" (I want to hear you say it, lol). Seriously, these are the best pancakes in town, filled with home made jam. They also offer home made lemonade and a lavender juice.

From the restaurants, I highly recommend "Sv. Ivan" (see more here). Another fine restaurant is "Antichen kladenetz". Try the salad with arugula and cherry tomatoes - it is very tasty.

Another very popular at the moment place is Dzhanka del Mar. Sadly, I haven't eaten there yet, but it is on my list. There are good reviews on 4 square, and the rating is also very high, so I really hope the food there is indeed exceptional.

Hope you found something for yourself in this post. And please, let me know if you've already been to Sozopol. What are your thoughts?
