Balchik is a quaint seaside town that combines historical romance, cultural attractions, and steep streets with the majestic beauty of the sea. Located in northern Bulgaria, it has long been known as the White Town due to the mostly white color of its lime rocks. It is 25 minutes outside the third largest city in Bulgaria and seaside capital, Varna, and just under 7 minutes from the one of Bulgaria’s biggest resorts, Albena. Aside from its stunning beaches, there is much to do and explore within the city, including a botanical garden, the Temples of Balchik, the Archealogical Museum, and the State Cultural Institute.
