Albena
“Albena” is the most northern (only Rusalka or “the Mermaid resort” is located farther to the north), the most tranquil and probably the most romantic resort of Bulgaria. It is ideal for a pleasant and unencumbered summer flirtation. It was actually named after a “beautiful but sinful” (together with her lover she axed down her old and uninteresting husband) peasant girl from the story of Bulgarian classic writer Jordan Jovkov.
The resort is situated 32 km to the north of Varna, the trip from the airport takes about 40 minutes.
“Albena” undoubtedly has the best beach in the country (it is 100 meters wide in some places and stretches for 7 kilometers), which is famous for its excellent fine white sand.
“Albena” is probably the only big resort, which has preserved its original territory in spite of all the active construction and reconstruction of the Black sea coast of Bulgaria has been going through in the past few years. A warm home atmosphere prevails here; the territory is impeccably clean with well-kept grass and pretty flowers everywhere. There is no noise and fuss typical for places like the “Golden Sands”.
At night you can see families strolling together with children, nanas and sweethearts slowly down the central alley looking merry and content. And you are welcome!
