In antiquity, due to the frequent storms, the Black Sea was known as Pontos Axeinos (Inhospitable Sea). Still, with the growing numbers of colonies along the coastline and the development of commercial relations, the name changed to Pontos Euxeinos (Hospitable Sea).
Nowadays such a name comes as no surprise, especially if one has already visited the Bulgarian part of the Black Sea Coast in summer.
The Bulgarian Black Sea Coast is the cradle land of civilizations, preserving rich historical layers. Here one can see remnants of ancient civilizations, of heathen shrines, of the Thracian age, of the Hellenistic culture, of the Roman Empire, of the Middle Ages and the Bulgarian National Revival period.



Weekend in Perperikon | Business Tour | Rural Tour |
Rural and Agro tourism are modifications of alternative tourism. Their origin is connected to the post-war rehabilitation of Western Europe and particularly France, where migration to the cities is limited and rural revitalization is achieved through facilitation of farmers’ initiatives in the field of tourism. Similarly, the biggest finance resource from the European Union budget is engaged in the agriculture sector. Rural tourism is characterized as a sojourn in rural environment (house, camping or other accommodation situated close to the village), contact with the local people, and access to the farm. It might be a part of a round-trip, a weekend holiday or longer stay. In both cases tourists expect to participate in everyday life of the local people – gathering of fruits and vegetables from the farm, cooking of traditional dishes, celebrating local holidays, watching or training in traditional handicrafts, folklore or agriculture traditions. These activities are usually combined with other tourism practices such as: hiking, biking, horseback riding, visits of monasteries, museums, archeological and other landmarks. |
