The sea, the beach and the weather right now
Sozopol
Sozopol is one of the oldest towns on the Black Sea coast – the successor of ancient Apollonia, about 30 km south of Burgas.
The Old Town sits on a peninsula with wooden Revival-period houses and narrow cobbled streets, while the New Town has the Central and Harmanite beaches. Every September the town hosts the Apollonia arts festival.
The webcams show the sea, the beach and the hotels.
What to see
In the old town, visit the Archaeological Museum, the Church of the Holy Mother of God and the Southern fortress wall and tower. Opposite Sozopol are the islands of St Ivan and St Peter, and on St Ivan island relics associated with St John the Baptist were found in 2010.
The beaches
The Central beach is next to the old town, and Harmanite is larger and in the new part. To the north, towards Chernomorets, is Zlatna Ribka, and to the south are Budzhaka, Kavatsite and Smokinite. Almost all are sandy with a gently sloping seabed.
When to go
The peak is July and August. In late August and early September the Apollonia festival brings concerts, theatre and exhibitions. Autumn and spring are good for exploring the old town without crowds.
How to get there
From Burgas – about 30 km; buses leave from Burgas South bus station.

Why is a camera sometimes not working?
The cameras belong to their owners. We check them automatically and hide the ones that are down, so you only see working cameras here. When all cameras in a place stop, we show the nearest working ones.
