Balchik is located at 29 km north
from Varna and has 14 000 inhabitants.
This picturesque little town rises
terrace-like above the sea and attracts
the eye with its whitewashed houses.
At the beginning of the 20th c Romanian
queen Maria, spellbound by the charm of
this place, ordered her favourite summer
residence to be built by the sea and
established the renowned Botany garden,
the largest on the Balkans and second
largest in the world.
Romantic air is all around: walks along
the beach, small secret lanes by the
mosque, fishing boats and yachts
anchored at the marina.
Lovers of healthcare procedures would
appreciate the spas of water temperature
to 31° С of curative effect.
