Visit the Monastery of St. George and enjoy the beauty of the Bulgarian religious icons.

Dive into the mystic ancient history of Bulgaria. Next stop is the Thracian Tumulus in Pomorie dating back to ІІ – ІІІ century A.C. It was used by a rich Thracian family for religious rituals devoted to the cult of the Sun.
