Burgas, Sarafovo, Pomorie, and Aheloy

This time around I chose Sarafovo as a seaside destination for a short vacation and it proved to be an excellent choice for discovering this chunk of the Black Sea coast.

First, having your hotel to be just five minutes away from the airport is really convenient.

Second, Sarafovo, while being a part of the Burgas proper, is in fact sits in the middle between the the central pedestrian area of Burgas and the coastal town of Pomorie. Just about 8 kilometers either South or North respectively. The trails are mostly paved, safe and picturesque.
