Sozopol is divided into two parts, the old and new towns. There's not much in the new town apart from shops selling mostly clothes, and a couple of supermarkets. If you stick to the coast part you will come across a couple of tavernas, but apart from that, head into the old town for a much nicer view! Money - do not take traveller's cheques. We had immense trouble finding somewhere to change them and that was a hassle like you wouldnt beleive. Just take money or even english money and get it changed in the banks -not one of the change kiosks. It would seem this is the only monetary arrangment Bulgaria is capable of making at the moment - and this include credit cards. Money talks here, no credit cards, i'm afraid! In the old town you'll find souvenir stalls and some lovely examples of Bulgarian houses and streets. The streets are perfect for taking a stroll in after eating, and there are plenty of tavernas or cafes to stop in. As for eating, the best restaurants line the very edge of the peninsula, on each side. We expecialy liked: Rusalka - great fish. El Greco - greek food as well as traditional Bulgarian. The Windmill (on the other side) is seemingly Sozopol's most "famous" place and is certainly nice enough although we found the food and service at Neptune (on the same road, just further on) to be much nicer. The wine is good too, and decent value. The Chardonnay's and Traminer's from nearby Pomorie are great. We took some excursions to Nessebar (much like Sozopol but bigger), Varna , Ropotamo reserve and Burgas and the latter three are worth seeing but it was always nice to get back to Sozopol; Its a nice, moderately quiet place with some lovely places to eat.
Hotel Selena is an excellent little hotel. It's in the new part of Sozopol, five minutes walk from the old part. The hotel is immaculately clean, with friendly staff who, although English is not their first or even second language (German is- as with most o...

An area which is becoming a jewel in the crown. Overall the area is a nice place to enjoy and relax. As the town develops it is becoming more attractive to vistors and continual work is being carried out to develop the area and make it one of the best areas to stay or visit on the black sea coast. Kids enjoyed there stay. The people are friendly & welcoming. The season could start earlier in May as the weather was great but the town was just preparing to open for the start of the season.
A very nice small complex located at the southern end of the New Town. Great place to relax and is a short walk into the town. Overall a very pleasant stay.

If you want to experience the real Bulgaria then visit Sozopol. Avoid Sunny Beach unless you want Blackpool in the sun. Sozopol is like an old fashioned seaside resort with traditional bars, shops, market stalls and small fairground rides etc. Eating out is so cheap and there is plenty of choice. The ice-cream is fantastic too. Beach was clean and not too busy for August. Watch out for jelly fish though. You can catch a local bus to Bourgas which is worth a visit, nice park, shops etc. You can also catch buses to other popular beach resorts. Visist Sozopol we had a fantastic holiday and would definitely return.
I would highly recommend the Hotel Selena to anyone going to Bulgaria. It is in a fantastic location with stunning views. Ask for a room with a seaview when you book, definitely worth it. The hotel is so clean and tidy. It is certainly 4* standard in my opi...

Sozopol itself is lovely with a nice harbour to walk around and plenty bars, places to eat, shops and small market area. We really liked the old town and only really went into the new town to let my Son have some fun at the shows there. I would recommend the Jeep Safari Trip organised by Balkan, it is a good day out and quite exciting, its nice to see a bit of the countryside too. My Son enjoyed the river boat trip too.
We stayed at the Hotel Selena last summer and are returning again in 2 weeks time. We found the hotel to be in a great location, with clean modern rooms (always book a sea view) and helpful staff. The food was good too and we noticed that a lot of local p...
