Pomorie
Поморие
A seaside town famed for its salt-lake mud therapy, wine and the St. George Monastery, and home to rare Thracian beehive-shaped tombs.
Pomorie sits on a peninsula about 20 km northeast of Burgas and is Bulgaria's best-known town for mud therapy and salt production. To the north, Pomorie Lake is a hypersaline lagoon with a salt museum, where you can watch traditional salt harvesting and flamingos. On the western side of town stand the St. George Monastery, founded in 1856 and known for its holy spring, and a 2nd–3rd century Thracian domed tomb, nicknamed the beehive tomb. The town produces the well-known Pomorie brandy and wines, and visitors can tour the wineries for tastings. A bus from Burgas takes about 30 minutes.
