Property Description

There are several defining features of this particular property. Firstly, the exterior of the building and the design, especially that of the balconies, is quite unusual, as is the stone cladding on the building. This property has a very distinctive Western European feel to it. Secondly, the interior decor and specification is also built to high western standards, particularly the almost all-white tiled bathroom with full bath tub (and incorporated shower head) and even the extensive use of room separation with the hallways, again a feature more commonly associated with western-type properties. In addition, the entrance hall is nice too because of the dark wooden door and door frames. A feature that is also compliemnted by the matching window frames. A lot of thought has been put into the tailoring and design of the properties in this resort. The interior is reasonably spacious as far as one bedroomed properties go along the Black Sea coast. The kitchen is both compact yet surprisingly offers a great deal of cupboard space and of course contains all of the modern conveniences that anyone would expect from a holiday home, along with cooker, sink, fridge and mcrowave oven. The fact that the kitchen area is slightly recessed too is an advantage in terms of creating more space for the dining and sitting room areas. there is a wooden dining table plus four chairs. Adjacent to this is the TV/sitting room area with comfy sofa, coffee table and TV stand. The delightful and unique balcony or terrace area may be accessed via the main living room by way of a discrete slim glass door that looks just like an ordinary window. likewise there is a similar access door from the main bedroom too, thus providing 360-degree movement from the bedroom to balcony to living area etc. The bedroom is large and bright, just klike the rest of the property and has a large double bed (may be used as twin single beds also) as well as lightly coloured wooden furniture matching the walls, all complimented by wood efect laminate flooring. This is a bright, airy and modern apartment property that is presently for sale in immaculate condition, just metres away from the nearest beach.

Sozopol - the place

Sozopol is the oldest town on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The first settlement at these places dates back to IV - III B.C. The undersea explorations in the region of the port reveal relics of dwellings, ceramic pottery, stone and bone tools from the bronze era.

In the Sozopol bay many anchors from II – I B.C .have been discovered, proof of active shipping since ancient times.

The town established itself as a trade and naval centre. It kept strong political and trade relations with the great cities of Elada – Milet, Athina, Corinth, Heraklea Pontica and the islands – Rhodos, Xios, Lesbos, etc. Its trade influence in the Thracian territories was based on a treaty with the rulers of the Odrissian kingdom back at the V century B.C.

The symbol of the town – the anchor, present on all coins, minted by Apolonia since VI century B.C. is proof of the importance of the trade. The rich town soon became an important cultural centre. At these times it was called Apolonia Magna (Great).

The ancient icons and magnificent woodcarving iconostases are a remarkable accomplishment of the craftsmanship of these times. The architecture of the houses in the old town from the renaissance period makes it a unique place to visit today.

Sozòpol (Bulgarian: Созопол, Greek: Sozopolis / Σωζόπολις) is an ancient seaside town located 35 km south of Burgas on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. Today it is one of the major seaside resorts in the country, known for the Apollonia art and film festival (which takes place in early September) that is named after one of the town's ancient names.

The busiest times of the year are the summer months, ranging from May to September as tourists from around the world come to enjoy the weather, sandy beaches, history and culture, fusion cuisine (Balkan, Mediterranean), and atmosphere of the colourful resort.

Sozopol is one of the oldest towns on Bulgarian Thrace's Black Sea coast. The first settlement on the site dates back to the Bronze Age. Undersea explorations in the region of the port reveal relics of dwellings, ceramic pottery, stone and bone tools from that era. Many anchors from the second and first millennium BC have been discovered in the town's bay, a proof of active shipping since ancient times.

The current town was founded in the 7th century BC by Greek colonists from Miletus as Antheia. The name was soon changed to Apollonia, on account of a temple dedicated to Apollo in the town, containing a famous colossal statue of the god Apollo by Calamis, 30 cubits high, transported later to Rome by Lucullus and placed in the Capitol.

The coins, which begin in the fourth century BC, bear the name Apollonia and the image of Apollo; the imperial coins, which continue to the first half of the third century AD, and the Tabula Peutinger also contain the name Apollonia; but the "Periplus Ponti Euxini", 85, and the Notitiæ episcopatuum have only the new name Sozopolis. In 1328 Cantacuzene (ed. Bonn, I, 326) speaks of it as a large and populous town. The islet on which it stood is now connected with the mainland by a narrow tongue of land. Its inhabitants, in the past mostly Greeks, lived by fishing and agriculture.

The town established itself as a trade and naval centre in the following centuries. It kept strong political and trade relations with the cities of Ancient Greece – Miletus, Athens, Corinth, Heraclea Pontica and the islands Rhodes, Chios, Lesbos, etc. Its trade influence in the Thracian territories was based on a treaty with the rulers of the Odrysian kingdom dating from the fifth century BC.

The symbol of the town – the anchor, present on all coins minted by Apollonia since the sixth century BC, is proof of the importance of its maritime trade. The rich town soon became an important cultural centre. At these times it was called Apollonia Magna.

Ruled in turn by the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Ottoman Empires, Sozopol was assigned to the newly independent Bulgaria in the 19th century. At the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence (1821) prominent local personalities were arrested and executed by the Ottoman authorities due to participation in the preparations of the struggle.

Almost all of its Greek population was exchanged with Bulgarians from Eastern Thrace in the aftermath of the Balkan Wars. In 2011 the remainings of an ancient Greek settlement, part of Apollonia, were excavated in the small island of St. Kirik (Saint Cerycus) off Sozopolis.

Since 1984 Sozopol hosts the Apollonia art festivities every September, which include theatre shows, exhibitions, movies, musical and dance performances, book presentations and other cultural events.
