Location Information:
Albena
is one of the purpose-built resorts
on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and
has a uniform and unique
architectural style. Many of the
hotels are situated on the beach
itself, exposed to maximum sunlight
and providing direct access to the
beach and sea. Albena is located
close to other tourist, cultural and
commercial centres and in the same
time remains within well-preserved
natural surroundings. Although it
was built on an empty ground in the
1960s, now this is in fact a small
resort town with its own downtown,
streets, squares and even internal
public transport - dedicated little
"trains" circulate on schedule along
their routes within the resort.
Varna
is the largest city and seaside
resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea
Coast and in Northern Bulgaria,
third-largest in Bulgaria after
Sofia and Plovdiv, and 92th-largest
in the European Union, with a
population of 364,292 (503,999 in
the metro area).
Commonly referred to as the marine
(or summer) capital of Bulgaria,
Varna is a major tourist
destination, business and university
centre, seaport, and headquarters of
the Bulgarian Navy and merchant
marine, as well as the centre of
Varna Province and Bulgaria's
North-Eastern planning region (NUTS
II), comprising also the provinces
of Dobrich, Shumen, and Targovishte.
In April 2008, Varna was designated
seat of the Black Sea Euro-Region (a
new regional organization, not
identical to the Black Sea
Euroregion) by the Council of
Europe.
