EXPLORE THE VAST BEUTY AND CULTURE OF BULGARIA AND CAPE CALIAKRA
For your leisure, discover the region, get to know the local culture and visit the nearby places of interest:
Located just 2 km southwest of Balchik, the palace was once the summer residence of Queen Maria of Romania (1875 – 1938). After the Second Balkan War (1913), Balchik and part of Dobrudzha became part of Romania. The region’s stunning landscape attracted Romanian aristocrats, and Queen Maria, captivated by Balchik’s beauty, chose to build her summer retreat here. The residence is set among lush gardens and has become a symbol of Balchik’s unique charm.
Constructed in 1924 by Italian architects Amerigo and Augustino, the residence features elegant terraces cascading along the steep seashore. Water from two natural springs flows through intricate stone channels, forming beautiful water mirrors and cascading waterfalls. This day trip also offers the chance to explore the Balchik Botanical Garden, home to a vast collection of exotic plants. After the tour, consider a leisurely walk along Balchik’s main beach. Our staff is happy to recommend local restaurants for a delicious meal by the sea.
Cape Kaliakra boasts impressive 70-meter-high cliffs that act as a natural barrier against the waves, creating a peaceful haven in the Bay of Kavarna. The name “Kaliakra,” meaning “beautiful cape” in Greek, reflects the dramatic landscape that has drawn admiration for centuries. Even before the Greeks, the Thracian Tirizi tribe cherished the area’s natural beauty. In 1444, Vladislav of Varna’s knights camped at this historic site during their march against the Ottoman Empire.
On July 31, 1791, Cape Kaliakra became the scene of the greatest naval battle in the Black Sea, when Admiral Ushakov’s Russian squadron defeated the Turkish fleet. Today, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Black Sea and visit the charming restaurant nestled within the cliffs, offering traditional Bulgarian cuisine and fresh seafood. Kaliakra is also known for its rich wildlife, with dolphins often spotted from the cliffs.

The entire wine-making process is carefully managed to ensure that every bottle reflects the region’s rich winemaking tradition.
