Sarafovo

Bulgaria

Sarafovo (Bulgarian: Сарафово) is a coastal village in Bulgarian Black Sea Coast and is considered a suburb of Burgas. Known as the Beverly Hills of Bourgas, due to its well-off population, the city is the fourth largest in Bulgaria, with a university, pedestrianised shopping areas, pavement cafes and restaurants, beautiful city parks and an excellent beach.

The excellent combination of sea, sun and convenient transport connections makes Sarafovo an extremely attractive resort. The number of hotels and apartment complexes increases every season. The area is particularly popular with Irish and Norwegian tourists seeking a relaxing break in an authentic Bulgarian village. A full range of accommodation is on offer, from cheap and cheerful guesthouses to luxury holiday complexes. However there are no high-rise buildings and the area retains its sense of peace and relaxation. Tourism is the main economic activity in Sarafovo, but unlike some larger resorts, Sarafovo does not close down at the end of the main holiday season, and retains a 'lived-in' atmosphere all year round.

Sarafovo also has a wonderful wide, sandy beach, where you can do watersports and swimming. And if you are into extreme sports, a few minutes drive will take you to an amazing Quad Bike/ATV safari around the hills of Marinka - a village near Bourgas with splendid nature.

There are numerous boutiques in Sarafovo, selling clothes and electrical goods as well as beach toys and inflatables. Fruit and vegetable stalls can be found on the main streets. There are also mini supermarketrs, pharmacies, a DVD hire shop and an Internet cafe.
