Albena
Албена
A resort about 35 km north of Varna, known for its wide shallow beaches and hotels set among the trees. It suits family holidays.
Albena was built in 1969. Its sandy beach is about 5 km long and 150 metres wide, with calm water that has held the Blue Flag award for many years. The resort is neatly planned, with hotels nestled among greenery. It offers a water park, horse riding, parasailing, diving and other activities, and the atmosphere is calmer than at Golden Sands. From Varna, take a bus for about 50 minutes, or take a taxi for about 15 minutes from Balchik. Almost everything closes out of season.
