Sarafovo is a place of
unspoilt beauty. Founded as a village over 80 years ago by Thracian
refugees, nowadays it has become famous for its beautiful houses and
preferred by people as a place to live. Its population counts over
3000, including the foreigners who chose Bulgaria for their home. At
present Sarafovo is a quarter of Burgas- the 5th largest town of
Bulgaria, administrative, commercial, tourist and cultural center.
The quarter is situated on the Black Sea cost between the ancient
town of Sozopol to the South and Nessebar to the North, and
just to the road between Burgas and Sunny Beach- Bulgaria's biggest
sea- side resort. |

Sarafovo has gained
attractiveness as a resort because of its unique characteristics:
Wide beach, about 4 km
long, covered with fine sands, almost black at places, because of it
high content of iron, manganese and magnesium. It absorb the sun
beams and gets quickly hot.
Higher sea- water temperature than the other resorts because of its
situation in the Burgas Bay. This increases the opportunity for a
longer tourist season- until late October, when water is still warm
and nice for swimming.
Sea bottom is almost even and slopes gently to the sea reaching
human size for water depth of 1.5 m which is favorable for bathing
of children and people with no swimming skill

The influence of the sea defines the weather of the resort. It is
characterized by long fall, encouraging longer sea tourism, warm and
mild winter and summer with no extreme temperatures. Summer heat are
easier to bear with the repeating breeze currents which rhythmically
refresh the air. The latter is clean, due to a lack of
industrial enterprises nearby
Sarafovo is close to a number of resorts, which can easily reach due
to a well- developed infrastructure. The quartet is situated 10 km
from the center of Burgas and 30 km north of Sozopol, while it's
only 10 km south from Pomorie and 30 km from Nessebar and
Sunny Beach
