Beautiful Crystal Clear Crisp Autumn Morning drive from Varvara Village to Ahtopol Town in BULGARIA 29 OCTOBER 2023
VARVARA VILLAGE
Varvara (Bulgarian: Варвара, Greek: Βαρβάρα) is a village in southeastern Bulgaria, located in the Tsarevo Municipality of the Burgas Province.
This seaside resort is situated on the Black Sea coast within Strandzha Nature Park, between the towns of Tsarevo and Ahtopol, near the border with Turkey.
The village is best known for its intellectual community of artists and writers. Many young artists came to Varvara in the 1970s and 1980s and populated a small camp called The Sea Club which the Academy of Arts in Sofia had purchased for them. Over the years a larger group of artists established themselves in Varvara and started to buy real estate and build a small community.
Many fishermen also live in the village. The population is from many backgrounds with an increasing number of Western Europeans taking up residence both seasonally and full-time. There is also a Romani community. The size of the village and its intellectual values have helped in the creation of a diverse yet close community who undertake many projects together such as the recent building of a new small church that was constructed in a combined effort of locals and some of the Bulgarians who form part of this community.
AHTOPOL TOWN
Ahtopol (Bulgarian: Ахтопол [axˈtɔpoɫ], Greek: Αγαθούπολη) is a town and seaside resort on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast.
