On the Northern Black Sea coast of Bulgaria stands Varna, a mid-sized city with good beaches, great food and superb sunsets.  And if the beaches here aren't good enough, it is around 20 miles away from a string of nice beach resorts.

A lesser known draw for visitors are these ancient Roman ruins.  Imagine walking out your front doorstep every morning and seeing millennium old Roman ruins.
