Sozopol is one of the most popular tourist sites in the summer. Many Bulgarian and foreign guests choose the town for their sea holiday due to the long summer duration, beautiful and shallow beaches, and the romantic atmosphere. Like other Black Sea towns, Sozopol also has an old part which is very well developed and maintained, being a preferable place for strolls and dinners. Tourists may visit the remains of ancient fortress and villages there. Holiday makers may also find accommodations in the Old Sozopol. There are various categories of accommodations in the town that offer from decent to luxury comfort. Like in many other Black Sea towns and resorts, tourists may also find self-contained apartments and studios in Sozopol and modest rooms in private houses. Most of the rooms and apartments are occupied in July and August which makes many tourists to make reservations in the beginning of the year or in the spring months. Many of the private homes are transformed into comfortable 2-star and 3-star family hotels. The new part of Sozopol, however, offers more luxury and exquisite hotels and holiday complexes. Besides modern furniture design and private swimming pools, expensive hotels offer contemporary SPA procedures and excellent conditions for conference and business tourism. In Sozopol’s outskirts, travelers may find large complexes and sumptuous apart-hotels which offer quietness and comfort outside the noisy streets of the town. Many of the accommodations are located on the sea shore, in a proximity to the famous beaches of Kavatsite and Zlatna Ribka. The closeness of Sozopol to many camping sites contributes to the high number of visitors during the summer. Quite a few people come to the town in the beginning of September for the annual Apollonia Festival of Arts.
