GOLDEN SANDS

Golden Sands is the largest resort on the northern Black sea coast. Itis located 17 km away from Varna, between Kranevo and St. St. Constantine and Elena. The name “Golden Sands”comes froma legend -pirates buried a great treasure in the seaside north from Varna. The land took revenge on the bandits bytransformingthe gold into sand and thus create the Golden Sands. Golden Sands offers something for everyone – it is a home of numerous sports events, vintage car parade, festivals and exhibitions. Entertainment will accompany you throughout your whole holiday –maybe  in one of the largest casinos in Bulgaria, but if you are a fan of the quiet places,near the resort is the interesting Aladja rock monastery. It was inhabited by monks Hesychasts in XII century and has had an interesting life. Now the frescos are not very well preservedbut the feeling of visiting a monastery, situated high on a cliff, is amazing. To the convent, which is a cultural landmark, there isa small museum.
