About Primorsko and Property
Primorsko is a climate resort and a centre for youth beach tourism. It is situated 5 min north of the village of Kiten, 30 min south of Burgas. Primorsko is famous for its graceful arcing
six miles long sandy beach, the longest and prettiest on the coast. The town is awarded with prestigious Blue Flag by the Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe - recognition of the purity of the nature in its region.
Primorsko town has two beaches, the Northern and the Southern ones. The Northern is more open and offers rough sea, which makes it treasured by surfers, while the Southern is smaller and calmer. The River Ropotamo is in the vicinity of Primorsko and is one of the largest natural reserves of Bulgaria.
Two kilometres south of Primorsko lies the grandly titled International Youth Center, a hotel complex that originally bore the name of Georgi Dimirtov and was intended as a holiday camp for Eastern bloc students. With the demise of fellow socialist regimes, the centre lost its raison d'erte, and fell into stagnation for a few years before pulling itself together as a private venture.

Arkutino and the River Ropotamo
Four kilometres north of Primorsko, ARKUTINO (the name refers to an area rather than a precise settlement) is the site of a (currently closed) motel and an inviting moonscape of shifting, scrub-covered coastal dunes. From here several unmarked walking trails run south along the coast, picking their way over shrub-carpeted cliftops before emerging at the estuary of the Ropotamo river, where there's an attractive stretch of near-deserted sand which can only be reached on foot. On the opposite side of the main road from the motel, there's a small area of coastal swamp accessed by wooden walkways (uncertain opening times), allowing glimpses of giant waterlilies that bloom in late summer.
The River Ropotamo
A few kilometres south of Arkutino, the highway crosses the River Ropotamo, whose estuary has been designated a nature reserve. Local tourist agencies imbue the Ropotamo with the mystique of the Florida Everglades, especially its waterlilies, although the reality can be something of a letdown. Boat trips (departures depend on the volume of custom; EURO 5.0) usually cover the stretch from the highway to the estuary, missing the best of the flora and fauna. This lies beyond the waterlily lake along the banks upriver, which are lined with oaks, beech, willows and creeping lianas. The river attracts fishermen with its abundance of whitefish, barbel, grey mullet and carp; drag-onflies, small black turtles and (non-poisonous) watersnakes are also found here. To the south of the river mouth rises Cape Maslen, where the sea has hollowed out caves that are sometimes frequented by seals. The easiest way to see the river is to book an excursion with one of the many travel agents in Sozopol (EURO 10.0-15.0 per person). Otherwise, Sozopol-Tsarevo buses stop at the bridge from where boats take off, but drivers seem reluctant to pick up passengers here — so be prepared to hitch back.
