Why to choose Kamchia for а best family vacation in Bulgaria?

The longest and widest beach in Bulgaria.

Did you know that Kamchia beach belongs to the longest and widest beach in Bulgaria? The sand-path is 13 km long, starting from the bungalows named “Rai”, “Romantica” in the north, reaching “Cherni nos” in the south. An ideal and favorite place for families to go to the beach, because the strip is extremely wide and clean. Beware, near the mouth of the river Kamchia, the beach is unguarded. Therefore we don’t recommend swimming there. The river, which flows into the sea, forms pits and underwater currents. This specific place is very dangerous for swimming

 

Peace and always fresh air.

Truly, air in the Kamchia complex is incredibly enriched, thanks to the lush flora. Especially near the river, air gets so clean and saturated that every breath remains an unforgettable memory. Visitors come again and again to feel the power of nature in this magical place – where the river Kamchia flows into the Black Sea. A huge, untouched rainforest, beach and river flowing into the sea. Boats “Lucy” and “Longoz” know how to “anchor” in this special place, where you can see the most beautiful panoramic view.

The entire area is quiet most of the time, therefore it is a favorite place for families. In the central part there are some restaurants and entertainment for children. No clubs or discos. In most of the area, purity and silence prevail. Young people often come from the city just to get rid of the noise and take a real breath.

A Budget trip in Bulgaria

Regardless of whether you want to stay in a bungalow, villa or hotel with breakfast lunch and dinner included, your vacation in Kamchia will not cost you much. The restaurants and shops in the resort maintain low prices, and entertainment prices are affordable for everyone. A night in a bungalow in the Kamchia resort vary between BGN 30 and 90 per night. It is necessary to make a reservation in advance, because often there is a shortage of accommodation, especially in August which is the highest of the season.

Are there Mosquitoes  in Kamcia resort?

The entire area is regularly treated against mosquitoes. So, there are only certain times when mosquitoes like to appear, like after rain, and in the evening after 20:00, but only when the weather is extremely calm. This won’t last long, especially by the river itself, because there is a constant breeze. Mosquitoes do not like the sun and wind. But the fans of evening water bike trips can use mosquito spray provided by us, but for a boat trip it is not necessary
