Kavarna is situated 63 kilometers northeast of Varna on a rocky beach in the northern portion of Bulgaria\u2019s Black Sea Coast. Kavarna\u2019s gorgeous shoreline runs for 42 kilometers, and the Municipality\u2019s entire beach area is 74 000 square meters. The town has a population of around 11 000 people.<\/p>

Human activity in the area stretches all the way back to the third millennium BC. In the fifth century BC, Greek immigrants from Mesembria (modern-day Nesebar) established the Bizone Colony in the area. Today, the ruins of a fourth-century AD fortification wall may be discovered on Cape Chirakman, 3 kilometers south of Kavarna. The town was a significant economic and cultural center throughout Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Karvuna (Kavarna) and the adjacent town of Kaliakra were the principal settlements of the Principality of Karvuna in the 14th century. The medieval town of Karvuna was renamed Kavarna in the 15th century.<\/p>

In 1913, Romania conquered the village, which was returned to Bulgaria in 1940.<\/p>

Kavarna was once known as Bulgaria\u2019s Rock Capital. Each summer, the town hosted a concert including world-renowned rock artists. The first Kavarna Rock Fest took place in 2006, and has since included bands and performers such as Scorpions, Dream Theater, Tarja, Doro, Heaven and Hell, Mot\u00f6rhead, and Manowar, among others.<\/p>

Kavarna\u2019s history museum has artifacts spanning from the fifth to sixth centuries BC until 1940. The exhibition features artifacts from the region\u2019s Thracian tribes, as well as those illustrating the Slavic and Proto-Bulgarian lifestyles. The museum has an exceptionally unique exhibit: a polymetal ingot, which was used as a medium of trade prior to the invention of coins. The ingots were common in the Eastern Mediterranean area from the second millennium BC. Additionally, the museum has silver coins from Tsar Ivan Alexander\u2019s (1331\u20131371) treasury. Adjacent to the museum is a renovated 15th-century Turkish bath. There are two exhibits there: Dobrudzha and the Sea Exhibition, which details the region\u2019s marine history. On exhibit are stone anchors, coins, and a Thracian gold treasure discovered on the coast of Dobrudzha.<\/p>

Kavarna also contains an ethnographic museum, which displays things representative of the Kavarna people\u2019s way of life, as well as national clothes and adornments from other ethnic groups. The show is housed in a traditional Dobrudzha mansion.<\/p>

The Kavarna area is home to some of the most stunning beaches on Bulgaria\u2019s Black Sea Coast. Rusalka (Mermaid) Resort with its stunning rocky beach are located around 20 kilometers from town. Cape Kaliakra, Bulgaria\u2019s easternmost point on the Black Sea coast, is also close by. A museum is located in one of the caverns on Cape Kaliakra, where visitors may learn about the fortress\u2019s history and evolution throughout the years. Kaliakra is a natural and archaeological preserve; it is home to several protected species and the ruins of a fortified wall and spa.<\/p>

The surrounding town of Kamen bryag (Stone Shore) is a famous tourist destination for July Morning celebrations. John Lawton, Uriah Heep\u2019s main vocalist, played the band\u2019s popular song of the same name before dawn on the beach in 2007. July Morning is a hippie custom that originated during the communist period as a subliminal protest against the dictatorship and a celebration of the free spirit and rock music.<\/p>

Yaylata National Archaeological Preserve, located 2 kilometers from Kamen bryag, has been the site of several archaeological finds. Three carved necropoles and 101 cave houses from the fifth millennium BC are unearthed on a 300-decares-square-mile area. Yaylata is sandwiched between two rocky sea terraces. Due to the enormous number of anchors discovered on the sea floor, it is believed that the bay between them was previously utilized as a port. Yaylata\u2019s castle was constructed between the end of the fifth and the beginning of the sixth centuries. Then it was dismantled and subsequently in the 9th century, a Bulgarian hamlet was constructed there. By virtue of Ordinance No RD-822 of 23 August 2002, the preserve was added to the Bulgarian Register of Protected Areas and Protected Zones.<\/p>

Bolata and Taukliman (The Bird\u2019s Cove) were two significant wetlands located north of Kaliakra. These locations are home to a variety of interesting water birds, and some of the animal species are included in the Bulgarian Red Book (a list of the endangered species in the country). These are only a few of the birders\u2019 favorite places in the country.<\/p>

Balgarevo and Tyulenovo settlements, as well as the town of Shabla, are located near Kavarna. Along with its gorgeous beaches and historic sites, Kavarna and the area attract visitors with a variety of traditional events, including the Mussel and Fish Fest, the Week of the Sea, and the Kavarna Rock Fest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dobruja and the Sea Display<\/h3>

A modest marine museum, the Dobruja and the Sea Display is located on the island of Dobruja. It is housed in a partially renovated Turkish bath known as the Hamam. It was constructed in the early 15th century and resembles a gigantic stone beehive spa. It is located at the entrance of the valley leading to the port, about half a kilometer from the town center. There are several stone anchors, amphorae, and pottery revealed by underwater archaeological excavations. The Treasure House Hall displays coins from various eras and a golden Thracian treasure. Ancient and medieval color painting expand our understanding of ancient navigation around the coastline of Dobruja.<\/p>

Town Museum<\/h3>

The Town Museum is housed in the town library\u2019s building. In its exhibition, materials detailing the town\u2019s thousand-year history are shown. Evidence for human existence in the area dating all the way back to ancient times is documented here. There is also a replica of ancient cave homes on display, as well as several tools, firearms, rifles, and pistols from the War of Liberation, as well as ethnographic artifacts \u2014 apparel, finery, and folk-style textiles.<\/p>

Ethnographic Museum<\/h3>

The Ethnographic Museum is a recreation of a late-nineteenth-century mansion that belonged to a wealthy family. Its interior displays the habits and culture of the people who live in that region of the nation; traditional Dobruja premises, cultural instruments, and the people\u2019s daily routine. Surrounding the structure is a garden filled with mulberry trees, peonies, and tulips.<\/p>

Churches<\/h3>

The town has two churches, both of which are situated in the town center. The Church of Saint George was completed in 1836, while the Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos was completed in 1860. Both cathedrals served as educational and cultural hubs throughout Ottoman control and after the Liberation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since 2004, the town has developed into one of Bulgaria\u2019s musical epicenters. Kavarna has hosted a number of rock and roll concerts. In 2005, Deep Purple was the most popular band to perform in the town\u2019s stadium. Other notable performers included Scorpions, Axel Rudi Pell, Gamma Ray, Masterplan, and Destruction. Accept, another German band, had their last gig here on 27 August 2005 with original lead singer Udo Dirkschneider. Additionally, there is a mural of Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale.<\/p>

In 2006, the Kaliakra Rock Fest \u2013 A Metal Festival (renamed Kavarna Rock Fest in 2010) debuted, featuring numerous metal bands. The next year, the tradition continued with performances including more metal bands as well as some pop and dance performers.<\/p>

In 2007, Heaven and Hell, the John Lawton Band, Manowar, Mot\u00f6rhead, Robert Plant, and Ronnie James Dio were among the performers. The following year, Manowar returned to Kaliakra Rock Fest for a five-hour effort to break the world record for the longest heavy metal concert. Alice Cooper, Slayer, and In Flames all performed performances the next two days. M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce headlined the rock festival in July 2009, with Scorpions, Blind Guardian, and Dream Theater. Additionally, Sonata Arctica performed in 2008 and 2011.<\/p>

Thracian Cliffs Golf Course hosted the 2013 Volvo World Match Play Championship.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
