Large old town quite separate from the new one with cobbled tree line streets and winding tiny alleys connecting many little roads and churches. Unusual architecture with rough been stone bases and wooden Matchboard upper floors which step out further each level. The place feels authentic with local women selling jams etc made from fruit in their Gardens. There is a street market, a few boards advising on the history, and their EU funded eco-friendly ambition. We spent 3 hours walking round and enjoyed a drink al fresco at one of the many bars on the southern wall

Walk through the cobble streets, stopping at the various stalls and stores selling Bulgarian crafts along with new clothes and gift items. There are many restaurants to tempt you, many with lovely ambiance as they're by the sea. Explore the many side streets, take a break for a drink and eventually wander down toward the beach area. A very pleasant way to spend a day.

This is a lovely long beach with many vibrant restaurants that are beautifully decorated to complement beach life. We walked from one end to the other and found it all very clean and spacious. We stopped for a coffee in one of the many modern beach restaurants were you can sit eat, drink, chat with friends or play board games or cards very relaxing. Would defiantly recommend this beach.

This is something worth to be seen, a history landmark with authentic spirit. A must-see! Go there, enjoy the atmosphere, imagine the city 5000 years ago and after that- dilute in the daily crowd, greedy for souvenirs!

This Church is dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius they are credited with the creation of the Cyrillic alphabet. The church is well maintained and contains exhibits of both religious and cultural significance. Even though it is not the largest or spectacular of churches it's well worth a visit.

Popped in for a quick nosy around and loved this church. It's very pretty and similar to other churches we saw out in Bulgaria but has a stunning print of George and Dragon at the entrance which I will post a pic on here of.
1 lev tourist fee, not that anyone asks you for it but there's a sign requesting it. More than happy to make this donation to the church so I can have a nose around here.
8. Sozopol Archeological Museum

Small museum with many well preserved vessels from periods dating back to 4th century BC. Huge historical significance to the area and it's links with ancient Greeks. This is all explained in English and Bulgarian with mostly intelligible descriptions. It's worth a quiet 45 mins out of the heat to look in and find out how Sozopol came to be.

10. Northern Tower

Reviewed By Jenny S - Lancaster, England, United Kingdom
The southern wall has been recently renovated and you can walk along it, by the sea. They have restored one tower and made it accessible too, with info inside and disabled toilets. Overall, I wouldn't like to push anyone round this part of the city, due to the need to share space with cars, trees and cobbles. But if you are good on your feet, well worth a stroll. We saw no signs to the wall but by keeping right as you enter the old town you will find it besides the sea
