From the moment you exit the airport, you'll encounter various travel agencies, advertisements, and offers for all kinds of attractions and excursions.
In the surrounding area, there are four water parks within reach of the resort: in ELENITE, as well as in Sunny Beach, Pomorie, and Nessebar.
There will be countless options for excursions, and we recommend the certified guide in Czech, Mr. Valentín Grozev. You can find dozens of offers for various trips, attractions, and entertainment here:
The most beautiful beaches and entertainment at Sunny Beach are just 4 km from St. Vlas.
Sunny Beach, one of the most famous resorts in Bulgaria, is only 4 km from St. Vlas. During the season, there is a regular bus line number 8, with a stop right in front of the complex. The bus runs at intervals of every 15 minutes.
Sunny Beach is one of the most important and largest resorts in the region. Located on the Black Sea coast, it offers more than 8 km of perfect beach suitable for children. The best time for a beach holiday is from May to September, with average summer temperatures around 28°C. Sunny Beach, like the rest of Bulgaria, is a popular destination not only for its excellent environment but also for its low prices compared to other European destinations. In short, Sunny Beach is a perfect and affordable vacation! A family holiday full of sun, sea, and sand is ideal in this resort, which is geographically located further south than Monaco and is the sunniest coastline on the Black Sea – with more sunny days per year than the famous Miami Beach in Florida. The beach is of top quality, awarded the Blue Flag, and is particularly suitable for children. With its soft, fine sand, calm warm sea, shallow water, and well-equipped facilities, the beach provides a perfect environment for families. It is lined with sand dunes that attract children. The beach also offers a variety of other opportunities for sports activities and attractions for the whole family.
For families with children, there are plenty of special services and activities, including a children's menu, a "kindergarten," and various sports activities under the supervision of experienced instructors. Some popular children's attractions include pony rides, children's pools with equipment, jumping castles, and boat trips to a secluded bay with Robinson Crusoe as the mascot. Sunny Beach is always full of fun, attractions, and nightlife. In addition to water sports, there are water parks, a luna park, roller coasters, and more. Popular nightclubs include Cacao Beach, Bedroom Beach Club, and Briliantin Beach Bar. A holiday in Sunny Beach meets everyone's expectations, from simple guesthouses to luxury all-inclusive resorts with 24-hour entertainment.
Be sure to take an evening walk down Flower Street in Sunny Beach, the central street where you'll find everything: food, culture, live bands, carnival attractions, shops, bars with football channels, topless dancers, and youthful crowds. If you're looking for nightlife, we recommend Cacao Beach, where you'll meet DJs from around the world, and the party goes on until 5 AM. If you'd like to visit a nightclub with Bulgaria's elite or a casino, head to Dinevi Marina in Sveti Vlas, where you'll find beautiful women and even more beautiful cars. For water attractions with kids, Sunny Beach offers 2 aquaparks, with more nearby. A gem of the area is the old town of Nessebar with its windmill, ancient churches, beautiful wooden houses, and incredible views.

Cape Emine - only 10 km as the crow flies from Fort Noks.
A beautiful yet hard-to-reach place, that's Cape Emine in Bulgaria, where you'll hardly encounter a soul. This promontory is located near the village of Emona and forms the northern boundary of the Burgas Bay.
The view from here is truly magnificent, but be careful—besides sturdy shoes, take an umbrella, as this place is known for frequent storms.
You'll also find an old lighthouse, which is perfect for photography, as well as the ruins of a medieval fortress with a monastery.
An interesting fact is that the European long-distance trail E3 starts here, leading all the way to the beautiful Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela. So, if you're up for it, this is where you can begin your great spiritual journey.
Nessebar, located 16 km from Sveti Vlas, is a UNESCO World Heritage site




Nessebar - 16 km from the resort, with a direct connection between the town and the resort via bus number 8.
The town was founded by ancient Greeks from Megara in the 6th century BC on the site of a Thracian settlement. The town retained its importance during the Roman and Byzantine eras. The Slavic name Nessebar was first mentioned in the 11th century. During the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, many churches were built here. In the 19th century, Nessebar was a smaller town, primarily inhabited by Greeks who made a living from fishing and grape cultivation. Between 1919 and 1923, during the Greek-Bulgarian population exchange, the local Greeks emigrated to Greece.
The town boasts a large number of well-preserved monuments from the Thracian and ancient times, as well as many churches built from the late antiquity to the modern era. Due to its advantageous location, it is a popular tourist destination.
Since 1983, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
Pomorie is located 25 km from Sveti Vlas.
Golden Sands and Sunny Beach are the most visited parts of the Bulgarian coast. However, instead of these crowded resorts, you might consider choosing Pomorie, which, although well-known, is a less mass-tourist area. The town of the same name, located on a small rocky peninsula, will certainly charm you, but what is typical of this region can be found a little further on. It's the Pomorie Lake with its famous healing mud and the narrow strip of coastline between the Black Sea and the lake, which is lined with black beaches. You won't find similar places along the Bulgarian coast.

Burgas is located 40 kilometers from Saint Vlas
Burgas is a city that offers a mix of cultural and historical experiences along with a more relaxed coastal atmosphere. Tourists will be drawn to its charming historic center, filled with promenades, restaurants, and cafes. The Cathedral of Cyril and Methodius stands out as the city's most prominent landmark, visible from afar due to its tall towers. Close by, you'll find the Ethnographic Museum, and further south, the City, Historical, and Archaeological Museums provide a deep dive into Bulgaria's rich history, culture, fauna, and flora.
Don't miss the Armenian church, famous for its remarkable decoration made from woven carpets. The Sea Garden is a green oasis along the coastline, offering a peaceful retreat, and from there, you can easily walk to the city beach, which is kept clean with water purification systems. The beach is also known for its special dark mineral sands, believed to have healing properties. The nearby Atanasovsko, Burgas, and Mandrensko Lakes, about 10 kilometers away, are perfect for relaxation and bird watching.
While Burgas has its fair share of tourist attractions, it also shows its less polished side, with sprawling streets, massive housing estates, and factories. However, the city has a lively dining scene with plenty of restaurants, taverns, and food stalls. Popular dining spots include Pristan, Gemiya, and Bourgaska Sreshta. Many upscale restaurants offer live music and show programs. The cost of food in the city is generally affordable, especially if you shop in suburban areas or markets. Accommodation can be more expensive, though there are options ranging from hotels to budget-friendly campsites. However, securing accommodation during peak summer season can be difficult without a reservation.
Burgas Zoo
The Burgas Zoo is a private zoological garden, providing a pleasant place for relaxation and family outings. Spanning 38 acres, the zoo is home to over 650 animals. Visitors can enjoy a children's playground and a restaurant with both open and closed areas.
The zoo is particularly famous for its collection of white animals, including albino camels, white polar wolves, white peacocks, white jackals, albino kangaroos, white deer, and more. It also boasts the largest collection of peacocks, with 29 different variations. Originally, the zoo functioned as a peacock farm.
At the zoo, you have the opportunity to feed some of the animals. You can buy a cup of vegetables and grains for just 1 leva at the restaurant.
The zoo is located approximately 10 km outside of Burgas. You can reach it by public transport, taking bus number 6 from the West Bus Station. You can also board the bus near the hospital (Zornica stop). The stop for the zoo is called "Zoologická záhrada," and there are signs directing you to the zoo, which is just a few meters away from the stop. It's advisable to check the return bus schedule at the zoo's ticket counter for the journey back.
If traveling by car, you can find navigation details on the zoo's website.
The entrance fee is 5 leva for adults and 3 leva for children.

Sozopol 80 km od Sv. Vlasu
Ide o rybárske mestečko, ktoré leží na juhovýchode Bulharska a zo stredísk Slnečného pobrežia ste tam približne za hodinu. Sozopol si drží jedinečné prvenstvo, lebo je to najstaršie mesto na bulharskom pobreží Čierneho mora.
Mesto bolo v časoch antiky známe ako Apollonia či Apollonia Pontika. Najstaršie osídlenie sa datuje do 7. storočia pred naším letopočtom, keď ho založili kolonisti z Mílétu.
Výnimočné je vďaka helénskej kultúre, ktorá sa tu dodnes zachovala a ktorú môžete obdivovať v miestnom múzeu. Nudiť sa tu rozhodne nebudete, lebo je tu čo pozerať.
PRIMORSKO
Prírodná rezervácia ROPOTAMO - 90 km od Sv. Vlasu, neďaleko Primorska
Množstvo turistov využíva aj možnosť plaviť sa po rieke Ropotamo, ktorá tečie skrz blízku prírodnú rezerváciu s piesočnými dunami a močiarmi.

VARNA 100 KM OD SV. VLASU
Prístav Varna je po Sofii a Plovdive tretím najväčším mestom Bulharska. Okrem malebných uličiek s kostolmi a ďalšími pamiatkami stojí za prehliadku aj pekne udržiavaný Primorskyj park, v ktorom nájdete zoo, námorné múzeum, akvárium Čierneho mora a tiež delfinárium. Práve to by ste si pri svojej návšteve rozhodne nemali nechať ujsť.
Čo delfinárium vo Varne ponúka?
Tunajšie delfinárium je jedinou atrakciou svojho druhu v Bulharsku. Umiestnené uprostred zelene prímorského letoviska Varna ponúka nádherný výhľad na more. Bolo slávnostne otvorené 11. augusta 1984 a rýchlo sa stalo symbolom mesta a pamiatkou bulharského cestovného ruchu. Je trvalým miestom na programe všetkých turistov pobrežia Čierneho mora.
Budova delfinária zaujme už svojou futuristickou štruktúrou a čelnou stenou zo skla a hliníka. Je to ľahká priestorová štruktúra tvarovaná ako sklenená kocka, 30 m dlhá a 14 m vysoká. Bola navrhnutá tímom, ktorý viedol renomovaný architekt Simeon Saraliev.
Delfinárium má pre svojich návštevníkov pripravené zaujímavé a zábavné predstavenia, ktoré potešia nielen našich najmenších, ale aj ich rodičov. Nebude to len ten typ atrakcie, kam sa dospelí hodia skôr ako sprievod. Môžu si to užiť rovnako dobre ako deti.
Predstavenie sa koná v hale s bazénom uprostred a zaberie vám približne štyridsať minút. Po celú dobu ho sprevádza tréner a moderátor. Informácie o tom, čo sa bude diať, dostanú diváci v bulharčine a v angličtine. Každý sem samozrejme prišiel kvôli delfínom, ktorý predvádzajú rôzne kúsky. Samotní diváci bývajú často do ich hrátok zapojení, môžu im napríklad hádzať lopty, alebo sa prejsť v člne tlačenom delfínmi. Uvidíte neuveriteľné športové a akrobatické schopnosti, o ktorých môžeme my ľudia len snívať, napríklad trojitý axel. Zbadáte tiež, ako delfíny zachraňujú ľudí vo vode. Pôsobivosť show navyše podtrhuje hudba. Delfíny vám dokonca zaspievajú. Potlesk je ich hlavnou cenou a zbožňujú ho, takže ním určite nešetrite. A aby vám spomienky na tento veselý zážitok časom nevybledli, môžete si v miestnom obchodíku zakúpiť pekný suvenír, napríklad pamätnú mincu alebo DVD s nahrávkou predstavenia.
Kontakt s delfínmi
Plávanie s delfínmi je vlastne úzkym kontaktom s týmito cicavcami vo vodnom prostredí, čo je bezpochyby vzrušujúci zmyslový zážitok, avšak aby ste si ho mohli vyskúšať, musíte poznať dôležité informácie a spĺňať nasledujúce kritériá. Musíte mať aspoň dvanásť rokov. Ak ste vo veku medzi dvanástimi a osemnástimi rokmi, potrebujete podpísaný súhlas rodičov. Zároveň sa zaväzujete, že budete dodržiavať pokyny trénerov a ďalších zástupcov delfinária. Samozrejme nesmiete pred plávaním požiť alkohol a nemali by ste trpieť žiadnym kožným ochorením, ktoré by sa vo vode mohlo zhoršiť. Kontakt s delfínmi prebieha v skupinách, z ktorých každá pozostáva z vás a maximálne piatich ďalších klientov. Počas plávania môže robiť fotografie iba špeciálny fotograf delfinária. Za príplatok je možné obdržať papierové výtlačky vybraných obrázkov, ako doplnok ich obdržíte aj v digitálnom formáte. Digitálne fotografie vám budú zaslané e-mailom. Pred začiatkom plávania dostanete špeciálne plátenú bundu, potrebné inštrukcie a budete vyzvaní k podpísaniu vyhlásenia, že rozumiete všetkým týmto podmienkam
