Lozenets, History and Climate

On the Black Sea coast, in a quiet bay between Kiten and Tsarevo, lies the picturesque resort village of Lozenets. It is located at the foot of the Strandzha Mountains, 65 km south of Burgas and 5 km from Tsarevo.

The settlement was founded in 1924. Until 1931 Lozenets was known as Embelец, also mentioned as Ambelits or Emberler, a name connected with pleasant aroma and with a famous grape variety. Later the village received the name Lozenets because of the many vineyards in the area. Local people also practise fishing.

Winter is mild and summer is hot, because the mountains and the sea constantly give warmth. The climate is very favourable for rest and combines mountain and sea air streams.

According to environmental specialists, the sea water in Lozenets is among the cleanest on the coast and contains useful microelements such as iodine, bromine, calcium and magnesium. The dunes, wide beach lines and view of Papia peak, 503 metres high, make the place unique.

Beaches of Lozenets

The beaches are sandy, with fine golden and soft sand. In Lozenets there are several beaches: Central, Oasis, Coral, Small Beach, Children’s Beach and Bear’s Den.

Central Beach is about 700 metres long and offers umbrellas and sunbeds. Visitors can enjoy water activities such as pedal boats, banana boats, jet skis, surfing and other summer entertainment.

Coral Beach is longer than Central Beach and is considered a more natural, less guarded area. Oasis Beach lies southeast of the village towards Tsarevo. Like Central Beach, it offers many activities, including diving.

Bear’s Den is located between Central Beach and Coral. It is a small sea bay without umbrellas, sunbeds or water attractions. This part of the coast has clear water and is pleasant for families with small children. The natural lagoon is also known among underwater hunting enthusiasts.

The Small Beach is southeast of the village and surrounded by rocks. It has umbrellas, sunbeds, small restaurants and many water attractions. The rocky character of the coast also makes some parts of Lozenets popular with people looking for more open beach areas.

Holidays, Surfing and Car Hire

In the past, old Tsarevo was located in this area. Today Lozenets is a developing Black Sea resort and one of Bulgaria’s popular holiday places. It is attractive both for families with children and for young people.

The village is also interesting for sailors, because training can be held here all year round. The official village holiday is 6 May, when local people and guests gather in the central square for folklore concerts, cultural events and competitions.

National surfing competitions are also held in Lozenets, but they are not easy to attend without personal transport. If you do not have your own car, you can use car hire Bulgaria from Sky. Rental cars are offered for different needs and periods without mileage limits, so you do not have to count every kilometre.

Infrastructure, Oasis and Nature

The village resembles a modern European suburb with infrastructure that meets European standards. A rental car helps visitors appreciate Lozenets fully, because beaches, hotels and natural sites are easier to reach.

Only one kilometre north is Oasis camping, located near the protected natural area called Swamp Snowdrop. Three kilometres west there is a beautiful botanical area that gives the local landscape a special character.

Lozenets has conditions for research, active tourism and full rest. The region has exotic vegetation, unique beech and oak forests. The Veleka River is the largest river in the Strandzha Mountains and is navigable in its lower part for almost 10 km inland.

Guests can visit Silkosia, one of the oldest nature reserves in Europe, founded in 1933. There are old archaeological monuments, inherited customs and traditions of Strandzha culture, and a rich variety of wildlife.

In Lozenets there is the church of St. George, built with donations. About one kilometre northwest of the village, before Coral Beach, is the Bear’s Den cave. Near the resort are the nature parks Karagach, Strandzha and Ropotamo, the Bulgarian Stonehenge Beglik Tash, Silistar Bay and Kastritsion fortress.

More Original Details About Beaches, Hotels and Routes

The original description of Lozenets also stresses how convenient the resort is for different types of travellers. It is not only a seaside village for sunbathing, but also a place for active tourism, family holidays, nature routes and business meetings. The specific climate, formed by the influence of the sea and the Strandzha Mountains, gives the area a special character and makes travel by car especially useful.

The route to Ropotamo, Karagach, Strandzha and Beglik Tash is much easier with a rental car. The same applies to Silistar Bay and Kastritsion fortress near the valley of the Rezovska River, where the border with Turkey passes. These places are not always comfortable to reach by public transport, while a car lets visitors plan stops, photos and rest according to their own rhythm.

The accommodation part is also important. Oasis del Mare offers not only a beach location and all inclusive service, but also a reception, shops, public Wi-Fi, massage sessions, windsurfing lessons, bicycles and car rental. Seagarden Villa combines forest, quiet surroundings, pools, a secluded beach, Oasis Beach nearby, sea views, barbecue equipment, secure parking and free Wi-Fi. Ativa is practical for guests who want to be close to the centre, the local beach, shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Elmaz is very close to Central Beach and has 24-hour reception. Nikolovi Guest House is quiet, close to the shopping street and useful for travellers who need airport transfer or a rental car.

The transport section of the original text explains that buses and route taxis run in summer, but their timetable and ticket price depend on the route. For visitors who want to see Bulgaria, summer resorts, winter resorts and natural attractions, a rental car remains the better option. Sky offers vehicles at acceptable prices, some starting from 9 euro per day, and focuses on a balance between price and quality.

Cars can be booked at any convenient time by phone, email or through the reservation form. The company also provides GPS navigation, child seats, snow chains, roof racks and, when needed, cars with a personal driver. Specialists help clients choose the right car and explain the rental conditions clearly.
