Just got back from Kavatsite Resort near Sozopol, and honestly, it was pretty disappointing. Here's the real deal:
Getting Around: The infrastructure here is seriously lacking. Want to check out Sozopol? You're stuck taking a taxi because there's basically no other way to get there. We're talking about a measly 3.5km ride that'll cost you around 10 euros - that's Western European Uber pricing for what should be a quick local trip!
Value for Money: The accommodation prices are just not justified by what you actually get. Most hotels and apartments are overpriced for the level of service and amenities they offer. You're paying premium rates for a mediocre experience.
Beach Situation: Don't expect to find many free beach spots - most areas seem to be privatized or require payment. It really felt like every decent stretch of sand had a price tag attached.
Bottom Line: This was another letdown from Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, which sadly isn't surprising anymore. If you're looking for good value where your money actually matches the experience, I'd honestly recommend checking out Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, or Turkey instead. These places know how to treat tourists right without breaking the bank.
For those willing to spend a bit more, Italy and France rarely disappoint - you get what you pay for and then some.
My take: Skip Kavatsite unless you enjoy overpaying for underwhelming experiences. There are way better coastal destinations out there that respect both your wallet and your vacation time.
This is the view from my apartment, instead to have a nice small park you get something like a trash yard...

However, the free area without umbrellas is veeeery short and we were really disappointed by this. One of the nearby restaurants was offering a big tent for several people for 55 leva... I really should be giving less points for kavatzi, but I was stunned by the...
Read moreTop top beach place! The beach is nice, the sand is like powder, the water is calm and clear. There are nice bars and restaurants pretty much for everyone’s taste and budget. There is also free area and paid one. Most bars don’t charge extra for sitting if you consume there. Compared to the beaches in Sozopol this is high quality. There is a convenient bus from Sozopol and for 10-15 minutes you...
