Varvara is a settlement in the Burgas Province of southern Bulgaria, situated in the Tsarevo Municipality.
This coastal resort is located on the Black Sea coast inside the Strandzha Nature Park, near the cities of Tsarevo and Ahtopol.
Varvara is largely noted for its stunning sea. Despite its little size, the sandy beach is one of the most picturesque on the Black Sea coast. Due to its isolation, the community has been able to retain its natural beauty and crystal blue sea waters. Surrounding the town are rocky coves ideal for spearfishing and scuba diving.
On the neighboring Papia summit, there are remnants of a late antique and medieval castle.
The Iron Tree, in Varvara, was constructed specifically for the filming of “The Great Night Bath.” For years, hippies have greeted July mornings here.
Demographics
The hamlet also has a large number of fisherman. The population is diverse, with a rising number of Western Europeans relocating temporarily and permanently. Additionally, there is a Romani community. The village’s size and intellectual values have aided in the development of a varied but cohesive society that collaborates on several initiatives, such as the recent construction of a new tiny church by locals and some of the town’s Bulgarian members.
Economy
Burgas International Airport is about an hour’s drive along the recently repaired route to Burgas. Apart from fishing, the primary source of revenue nowadays is tourism. There is a private sandy beach, and the settlement is next to one of the most renowned diving spots on the Black Sea, known as the Dardaneli. This is a series of underwater caves and canyons along the coast that are ideal for snorkeling and diving. Additionally, there are various family-friendly hotels, pubs, and restaurants.
History
In the mid-nineteenth century, the contemporary town site was unoccupied save for a tiny monastery or church dedicated to Saint Barbara with holy springs, after which the hamlet was called. An earlier village may have existed, as shown by the name Vardarah being marked on Max imek’s 1748 and Christian Ludwig’s 1788 maps in the region. Varvara was a tiny Ottoman town before the Balkan Wars, populated by ethnic Turkish refugees from northern Bulgaria who migrated there after Bulgaria’s Liberation in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78. Following 1913, the Turks departed, to be replaced by Bulgarian refugees from Eastern Thrace.
The hamlet is most recognized for its artistic and literary community. Many young artists came to Varvara in the 1970s and 1980s and settled in a tiny camp named The Sea Club that was acquired for them by the Academy of Arts in Sofia. Over time, a bigger group of artists established themselves in Varvara and began purchasing property and establishing a little community.
