Overview of your Varna tour

My hometown of Varna is one of Bulgaria’s most popular destinations, thanks to its stunning setting on the Black Sea coast. If you enjoy breathtaking scenery, I highly recommend a self-guided tour to the Stone Forest, also known as the Petrified Forest — a unique natural landmark near Varna, where striking stone columns rise from the sandy ground. The Stone Desert of Varna is Europe’s only desert, home to rare desert reptiles and wildlife. Next, you’ll explore the remarkable Aladzha Rock Monastery, the most famous medieval rock monastery on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, believed to have been inhabited by hermit monks in the 13th–14th centuries. This tour is self-guided, and I provide a detailed guidebook to help you discover and enjoy every moment. I look forward to sharing this unforgettable experience with you!
