Established by the Greeks as a colony 5 centeries ago under the Romans and their successors, the Slavs, Varna has become a major port trading with Constantinople, Venice and Dubrovnik. Successor to ancient civilisations, survivor of the transformations of time, the present-day city of Varna is one of the most attractive Bulgarian towns, the Pearl of the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast - as it is called for good reasons.
Nowadays it is the main port for both naval and commercial shipping and, as it is near the coastal resorts of Golden Sands, St. Konstantin and Albena, it has a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Sailors on shore-leave in unfamiliar ceremonial uniforms, mingle with foreign tourists and locals as they promenade along shady boulevards, lined by dignified 19th and early 20th century buildings.
Undoubtly the best place to be in the summer eve is the sea park stretching all over the long sandy beach, with all its open-air cafes and restaurants, as well the range of discos on clubs on the beach.
