The best beach of the region is undoubtedly south of Sozopol – holiday village Dyuni. Situated in a bay, the shape of a large semi-circle, amidst the Ropotamo Natural Reserve, the resort of Dyuni offers the best possible conditions for rest and relaxation. The Saint Tomas Island or as the locals call it – the Snakes Island is the only place in Bulgaria where one can find naturally grown cacti. These were brought from Bratislava and planted here by the last Bulgarian king. They are Opuncia cacti and they overlook almost half of the territory of the Snakes Island and spread over half of the island, making is really difficult to pass. The beaches of Sozopol are the ideal complement to the romantic atmosphere of the town. The sand is find and mild, and the waves keep supplying guests with free souvenirs – cute sea shells. Fans of experience can go diving, while those in romantic mood would prefer a promenade onboard a small motorboat.
