Sarafovo: Hotels and Accommodations

Sarafovo was founded in 1920 by refugees from Eastern Thrace. Sarafovo’s ancient and medieval harbor and city fortress date from the 4th to the 6th century. The remains of a Roman settlement lie about 2 km north of Sarafovo; part of the settlement is underwater. The local harbor also includes a fishing port with electricity and water facilities in the berthing areas.

Lake Atanasovsko is a well-maintained reserve and a Ramsar wetland. At the same time, it is a shallow, hypersaline lagoon with an average depth of 30 cm. A total of 333 bird species have been recorded in the area. Two visitor trails have been designated there, one short and one long.

Sarafovo Beach stretches for about 1.5 km of sand and shallow water. The sand is fine, with darker sections associated with iron and magnetite. The seabed is shallow and slopes gently. Groynes on the beach help protect the bay from strong currents and large waves. Visitors can also watch planes flying very low near Burgas Airport from the beach.

Sarafovo has bus connections to Burgas, Pomorie, Nessebar, and Sunny Beach. A coastal promenade connects the town with Burgas Sea Garden for pedestrians and cyclists. The beach is also accessible from Burgas by municipal bus route 15.

A municipal cycling route of the Green Corridors connects Burgas, Lake Atanasovsko, Sarafovo’s archaeological harbor and fortress, and the Thracian tomb near Camp Europa. The 20.2 km route includes cycle paths, paved sections, and dirt roads.
