Fantastic Varna











It was 2 years ago.We decided to go Varna in August. It was the first time we were going to Varna. Because of that I was very curious about our travel. The purpose of this travel was for both touristic and visit my little cousin. We took a bus to Varna because there was no flight. It took 10 hours to get there.In the border of 2 countries we stopped for custom security controls. Before our journey we heard a lot of things about difficulties of custom security controls however, we were lucky for these custom transactions.We got to Varna early in the morning. Varna is the third largest city in Bulgaria. It’s located along the cost of Black Sea. Varna is a city of tourism,natural beauties,lots of touristic hotels and centers,golden beaches and thermals.
Varna was quiet but very enjoyable.There were lovely green parks and city squares . We went by walking to many places in the city, easy to walk around.There was a main shopping avenue in the centre of the town. There were a lot of cafe’s and restaurants. I liked ice-creams.It was called Italian ice-cream and the porsions were very very big and cheap. I can recommend you to taste that ice-creams.
We visited one of the Ottoman Mosque and it was converted into a Church.
We also made several countryside visits such as Silistre city which was very close to the border of Romania. We visited several archeological museums and we had lovely fish lunch along the Douna river ( Tuna). We had also a chance to visit one typical village that was a great experience for us. We explored the major sites of the town.

We experienced dolphinarium that is aquarium for
dolphins. Most of them are kept in large pools for
performing and all trained by professional people.

We visited the cathedral of Varna and etnographic
museum and the archeological museum that was covered
the rich collection of items from all over Bulgaria.

We went to the seaside called Golden Beaches for
swimming. There were numbers of luxury hotels along the
beach. We rented an interesting bicycle that 7 people can
ride on together. We laughed while riding and had lots of
fun.Bulgarian Folk Dances are very famous.We visited interesting restaurant there was a fire show.The dancers danced on a fire with naked feet. They served meals in original plates made of pottery. Especially the meals such as salads,meats were served with white cheese on top.

Varna is a very interesting destination for travel. Especially for summer vacations it’s really worth to stay. I can recommend.
