One can plunge deeply in discovering the numerous traces from the ancinet times or enjoy a pleasant time visiting the modern entertainment centers, shops and activities.
- Balchik, Botanic Garden and the Queen Maria Palace, Boat Trips
Struck by the natural beauty of the area around Balchik, the Romanian Queen Maria built a summer palace and a botanical garden there. This happened 8 years after the end of World War I in 1918, when Balchik was annexed to the territory of Romania. Besides the high-towered palace and the surrounding garden, the complex also includes a chapel, which still keeps the heart of the queen after her will, a villa, originally meant to host Romanian aristocrats, and a beautiful stone throne under an old tree where Queen Maria loved to watch the sunset.
The picturesque park, called Tenha Vuva in Romanian (Quiet Nest), was designed and arranged in 1924-1936 after the project of a French garden designer, Jules Janine. The queen, nicknamed poetically as Karmen Silva, died in 1938, just 2 years before the area was annexed back to the territory of Bulgaria while the complex was declared a monument of culture.

- Kaliakra Fortress, Archeological Reserve
Kaliakra is a beautiful cape close to the Romanian border. Usually, it is the final stop of foreign tourists looking for pretty sights and interesting places to the north of Varna. The cape stretches 2 km deep into the sea and consists of 60-70m-high limestone rocks, the inaccessibility of which has been the main reason for the construction of an ancient fortress named Tirisis there. The fortress was successively used by Thracians, Romans, Byzantines and Bulgarians. According to legends, the fortress was guarding the treasuries of Lyzimah, successor of Alexander the Great. Today there are quite many remains of those ancient settlements, which can be seen, exhibited in a small museum. One can also read there a legend telling the story of several Bulgarian girls who chose to jump from the high cape into the sea but not to be captured and converted to Islam by the Turks

- Aladja Monastery
The Aladzha rock monastery is situated only a few kilometers south of the Riviera Holiday resort and the Golden sands resort and is a part of the Zlatni Pyasatsi natural park. The name of Aladzha monastery comes from the Turkish word for colourful ("Aladzha") due most probably to the bright colors of its wall paintings, dating back to the early Middle Ages.
