the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. First it
was situated nearer to the sea but after
an earthquake in I c. B.C. the old town
Byzone has been partly covered by the

Places of special interest to
environmentalists are the reserve areas
of Yailata, Chirakman historic site,

Lagoon and Kalyakra itself. They are

vegetation, birds and animals. These are

local stadium. Rock stars as “Uriah Heep”,
“Nazareth”, “Saxon”, “Rainbow”, “Black
Sabbath”, “Deep Purple” and many others

music.
