Sozopol

Around 35 kilometres south of Viand Hotel lies Sozopol — one of the oldest towns on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, where history and the sea exist in natural harmony.

Sozopol – light, history and the rhythm of the sea

Set on a picturesque peninsula, the town preserves the spirit of ancient Apollonia to this day — in its cobbled streets, traditional wooden houses and the ever-present view of the sea.

Sozopol carries a distinct atmosphere — quieter, more artistic, where time slows down and each moment unfolds with ease.

What to discover

  • Old Town Sozopol – A network of narrow cobbled streets, traditional houses and small galleries, where heritage and contemporary art meet naturally.
  • Archaeological Museum – Sozopol – Tracing the town’s development from its Greek origins to the present day through a rich collection of artefacts.
  • Church of St. Cyril and Methodius – A significant spiritual landmark associated with the discovery of relics of St. John the Baptist.
  • Culture and atmosphere – Sozopol is known for its artistic character and vibrant cultural life. During the summer season, exhibitions, music and events bring a refined energy to the evenings by the sea. Here, the atmosphere is not imposed — it is discovered, gradually and naturally.
  • Flavours of the coast – Seafront restaurants and intimate dining spots offer fresh seafood, traditional cuisine and a relaxed culinary experience shaped by the surroundings. Whether overlooking the sea or hidden within quiet courtyards, each place carries its own distinct character. Getting there from Viand Hotel
