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. |
