Travel Guide to Obzor
Obzor is a Bulgarian resort where you rest your soul and heal your body
The Bulgarian resort of Obzor is located on the Black Sea coast. Summer is always warm and comfortable, the sea water feels pleasant, and prices for goods and services are quite attractive and reasonable.
Families with children often come to Obzor to relax, because it is peaceful and harmonious here, although there are enough развлечения for both adults and kids. If you prefer wide beaches so you have more space under the sun, Obzor will definitely appeal to you!
What is interesting and at the same time very attractive for tourists is that the town of Obzor combines several natural zones that positively affect human health: the sea, the mountains and the forest. In Obzor you will find everything for body and soul — conifer forests, healing mineral springs, waterfalls, clean beaches and air that can help with respiratory system issues.
Obzor is often called “little Bulgarian Italy” because it has narrow but picturesque streets that tourists love to stroll along. Grapes and peaches grow on these streets, and the locals are very friendly and kind.
In Obzor you can rent a room in a small hotel or an entire villa. Also, in the private sector of the town there are houses offered for rent to tourists.
Obzor has everything you need for a comfortable vacation. There are hotels, restaurants, cafés, medical centers, banking institutions and even a market where you can always buy fresh vegetables and fruits and other products. And, of course, don’t forget to stop by local souvenir shops, where you can pick up many interesting things — leather goods, rose oil and even good Bulgarian wine.
In Obzor there are many interesting historical sights — the Temple of Jupiter, a Roman military fortress, the columns of an ancient temple, a lighthouse and the ruins of an ancient fortress.
