Balchik
    
|
Located about 30 miles north of Varna, Balchik is a relatively undiscovered beach town offering visitors a more realistic peak into Black Sea coast life.
|
Melnik is known for its dramatic white cliffs
that plunge into the Black Sea.  |
|
|
It's quiet and peaceful despite being less than 10
miles from the biggest resorts in Bulgaria's Black Sea coast where the
package tours go. |
|
Besides the small amount of tourism Balchik sees,
fishing is another economic mainstay. |

White chalk cliffs compliment a typical Balchik house,
or does the house compliment the cliffs? |
