The town of Obzor is located at the midpoint of Burgas and Varna just beyond a hilly wooded area that opens onto this coastal community. It’s an easy stop along the E87 coastal highway. This town, which ancient Greeks once referred to as Heliopolis, the town of the sun, sits tranquilly along a 4-mile stretch of beautiful beach. A small park marks the location of an ancient Roman temple honoring Jupiter; sanctuary fragments and columns are among the ruins. A Roman fortress once used to protect sea trade routes between the Danube and Constantinople, and there is a medieval Bulgarian Kozyak fortress close by.
