Balchik
 
 

Location: Similarly to Kavarna, the town of Balchik
is also a relatively large settlement along the Northern
seaside with its population numbering 13,766 people and
a harbour used for medium-sized passanger and commercial
vessels. It is situated 31km north of Varna in a beatiful inlet.

   
  History: The place was first inhabited by lonians in the
5th century BC. At that time, the settlement was called Kmuni
or Krounoi after the Greek word for springs, due to the
abundance of karst springs in the area. Later on it was
renamed Dionisopolis after the name of Dionisius, the Greek
god of wine and feasts. According to one of the most
popular explnations, the town received this name after
a statute of Dionisius was dragged there by the sea.
The god’s image appeared also on the the coins minted there.
Noteworthy, the town was a rather important centre on
the northern Black Sea coast till the beginning of the
new era and it was second in significance only to Varna
(named Odessos at that time). Later on the town was included
in the territory of Bulgaria. Around the 13th - 14th century
AC it was moved to a natural fortification, called Dzhina Bair.
Following tis rule by the Boyar Balik, it received
its present-day name of Balchik. The town flourished and grew
into a big corn-trading centre after the Crimean War (1853-1856).
Yet after the Balkan War which ended 1913, it was annexed to the
territory of Romania. Struck by the natural beauty of the place,
The Romanian Queen Maria built a summer palace and a botanical
garden there. The royal complex also included a chapel and a villa
for Romanian aristocrats. The town turned into a luxurious resort
at the time. After 1940 Balchik was again included in Bulgarian territory.


 

   
  Places of Interest: Apart from the palace complex and the
botanical garden, which is the biggest and most diverse on
the Balkans, the town also appeals to tourists with its
ancient spirit,reflected into steep pebbled streets and
houses made of stone and adobe. The palace complex consists
of a central palace with a high tower, numerous buildings,
a terraced park, summer houses made of stone and propped
up on marvellous columns facing the sea, a throne under
an old tree where Queen Maria loved to watch the sunset,
and a small chapel where her heart is preserved. There are
more than 3,000 rare and exotic species of plants in the
botanic garden, which has made it a part of the teaching
facilities of Sofia University. The whole complex was
called Tenha Yuva (Quiet Nest). Besides the palace and
the botanic garden, the Art Gallery of the town, which
houses also the town’s museum, is also an interesting
place to visit. There is also a small ethnographic museum
and a beautiful old church called St. Nikola Church.
A Renessaince complex with the old school, which is quite
well preserved, can be other possible destinations of a walk.
The coastal alley, which is about 4km long, is also a nice
place to stroll, the same way as the harbour and the small
streets of thwe town are.
   
 

 

Outside the city, the area of Touzlata is located 4 km
east of the town. It is well known for its curative mud,
which was the main reason to build a balneological centre
there beside two lakes, formed by old landslides. A large
recreational complex, a lot of villas, bungalows and a camping
site are can be also found there. There is a mineral spring
with water temperature of above 30 C degrees. Two big camping sites - Sandrino Camping and Beliyat Bryag Camping are also located near Balchik. They offer various opportunities for rest and water sports, clubs, bars, numerous bungalows for tourists having no camping equipment, small restaurants and snackbars for seafood and continental food. Fifteen kilometres away from rhe town in south-west direction is the village of Obrochishte with a well-preserved fortress dating back to the early Ottoman rule, which travellers of that time used to compare it with the beauty of Baghdad.

   
  Accommodation: The most popular hotels in the town are Dionlsopolis Hotel, Balchik Hotel and Elite Hotel. One can reserve rooms at the palace as well. There are bungalows near the shore in the Tihiya Kut Resort (The Quiet Corner) and many private lodgings offered in the town with their prices depending on the comfort and the distance to the beach or the centre. Not far from the town is the Bisser Camping offering bungalows and space for caravans to park and tents to put up.
