Welcome To Holiday-Bulgaria.eu
BALCHIK is one of the most picturesque Bulgarian towns. Holiday Bulgaria shows you where to go. We will provide you with a full guide of Bulgaria. Welcome! Built amphitheatrically at the Black Sea coast, it is 47 km north of Varna. A real pleasure is to take a walk in its cobbled narrow streets with old-time houses, steeped in the greenery of vineyards and small gardens, pleasantly contrasting the shining white elevations, encircling the town from all sides.
As far back as during the 5th century B.C., the ancient Greek polis was built here on top the remains of an older settlement. Later on it was called Dionysopolis, a tribute to God Dionysus. Karvouna, the regional centre of medieval Bulgaria, developed on top the ruins of the early Byzantine Kionysopolis and this was also marked on a number of drawn sea maps and descriptions of the land, made later. Karvouna (Karouna) was a name, brought by the old Bulgarians, meaning “compassion, closeness, mutuality, hospitality”. By the name Balchik, the town has been known since the 16th century.
The Balchik Touzla is about 4 km south of Balchik. This is a lagoon lake with curative mud, the deposits of which have been calculated to be 38,000 tons. The Touzlata seaside and mud treatment resort, established here, has a mud treatment centre with departments for open-air and indoor mud-treatment procedures, a sanatorium, a resort polyclinic, holiday houses and villas. A mineral spring is part of the inviting natural scenery. Its water is used for treatment by drinking it. Holidays in Bulgaria will be a succes!
