Balchik Property
Balchik is one of the hottest areas for buying property in Bulgaria. With golf and marina investments in the area, Balchik is emerging as a rapidly expanding property investment and tourism area. Spared heavy development in the past, the area combines natural beauty with restricted development. For this reason it is expected to emerge as an up-market area for sailing and golf tourism.
The town of Balchik is situated 36 km north northeast
of Varna, on the Black Sea Coast. It is located
partly on the sea shore and partly on the Dobroudzha
and the Frangen plateau. The height varies from
sea level to the level of the plateau and reaches
up to 250 meters, hence its standing in tiers. There
is regular bus service to Varna and Dobrich, another
town to the west of Balchik.
Balchik
The town has a history spanning over 2,600 years.
During that period it was known as the ancient Greek
colony of Krouni, the Greek and subsequently Byzantine
fortress of Dionyssopolis, mediaeval Bulgarian town
Karvouna and the Ottoman and subsequently again
Bulgarian town of Balchik.
Today Balchik is a small but very romantic Bulgarian
seaside town. With its white rocks, and houses
standing in tiers, this is a preferred place for
rest and tourism by the people of art and culture,
scientists and foreign visitors. With its narrow
streets and picturesque landscape, the town is
a living symbol of a peaceful world.
Balchik Beaches
The beach strip reaches up to 30 kilometers in
length, which is an important premise for the
development of the region in the sphere of tourism
and recreation. This area is extremely rich in
mineral springs and underground waters, which
are the main sources for the modern water-supply
system with a capacity of 1000 liters per second.
There is a big harbor used for medium–sized
passenger and trade vessels.
Balchik Tourism
One of the most interesting places in the vicinity
of the town is the Palace “Quiet Nest”
- a modest building constructed upon three terraces,
combining elements of the Moor style, Mediterranean
architecture and the typical Bulgarian house.
The extravagant minaret renders a touch of oriental
opulence to the building. The architectural complex
was built by Italian architects Amerigo and Agustino
within the period 1920-1936. It was the summer
residence of the Romanian queen at the time of
the Romanian occupation of South Dobroudzha.
Things to do in BalchikThe place is famous mainly for its exotic botanical
garden - the biggest and most diverse in the Balkans.
Flowers and trees from the Mediterranean islands,
the Pacific Ocean, the Black Sea, South Asia,
and America delight the visitor. The garden is
a “residence” of about 3,000 species
(over 250 of which are cactuses), set up between
waterfalls, streams and ornamental canals.
Balchik Spa Treatments
The area of Touzlata is located 4 km. east of
the town and is well known for its curing mud.
A balneo – center was built here beside
the two lakes, formed by old landslide. It receives
patients suffering from disorders of the bones.
A large recreation complex, a lot of villas, bungalows
and a camping site have been built here. There
is a mineral water spring with temperature of
