Tourism information
The geographical location of the Bourgas region is favourable

season is the summer. The air and water temperatures, the
big number of sunny days and the low level of rainfalls facilitate
the open-air recreation for 4 months - from June to September.
The Black Sea is not polluted in comparison to other European
sea basins and the water is not so salty. There are no dangerous
animals and plants. There are thermal mineral springs at various
temperature and chemical composition in the region, which
are of balneological and sea tourism importance.
The vegetation as a natural resource creates
a specific sanitary area and micro climate on the recreative
territory, that makes it an object of country and cognitive
tourism, especially the forests of the rivers Ropotamo and
Veleka, the natural reserves. The forests in the Strandja
and Sakar mountans are favourable for developing the hunting
tourism - one of the most profitable types of tourism.

region, which is occupied by the low bordermountains - Strandja,
Dervenski Hills and Sakar mountain, on the other hand, are
