Situated on a small peninsula, linked
with the mainland by a 400 m long isthmus. It is 30 km north from the regional
centre Bourgas and 3 km south from Sunny Beach. There are more than 40
preserved medieval churches here.
Christ Pantokrator church
(10th - 11th c.)
Some of them have stunningly beautiful
facades and interiors and are among the best preserved ones in the Balkan
Peninsula.
The narrow cobblestone lanes, old houses
with wooden bay windows and external staircases lend a unique romantic
atmosphere to the town.
