 Ahtopol
AGATOPOLIS
("The town of love") - that's how the Greeks in the
Middle Ages called this exotic place.
Ahtopol is the most southern Bulgarian town on the Black
Sea coast. It is situated both on the Black Sea coast and
at the foot of Middle Strandza Mountain. The cooler Mediterranean
climate is strongly felt here and that attracts a lot of tourists
into the town not only during the summer months, but all over
the year.
The archaeological excavations in the region of Achtopol
show life traces from different periods - the Antiquity, the
Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Some very ancient coins were found near the town, including
samples from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and from nearly all
the European countries.
The picturesque river of Veleka is running only 4 km south
of Ahtopol.
The river comes from the very heart of Strandza Mountain.
The combination of sea side and river coast, the specific
fauna and flora of the region
are really impressive and can satisfy all the tourists eager
for adventures into desolated places among the virgin nature
