Last Summer Days at Cape Kaliakra

Cape Kaliakra, Kaliakra, Bulgaria

Despite that September is almost gone, summer has been very generous this year. It's still sunny and warm, especially at the seaside. Wednesday was a bank holiday and we took the opportunity to make a trip to cape Kaliakra, located 70 kilometres north of Varna, the biggest Bulgaria port at Black Sea. 

Back in time Kaliakra as a major port on the Black Sea, Kavarna saw the rise and decline of the empires which one dominated our land. Remains from the fortification walls and the Roman baths are well preserved and relics from Byzantine and Turkish times can be seen in one of the caves which hosts the museum of cape Kaliakra. We spent there most of the afternoon, exploring the small caves in the rock and trying to find hidden paths leading to the base of the cliffs.
