VARNA. The gem of the Bulgarian Black Sea. During the summer season the sunshine allows 10 - 11 hours of sunbathing. The sea is amazingly calm and free from dangerous tides. A visit to Varna would not be complete without a stroll through Seaside Park, the biggest park in Varna situated by the beach. Within the park area one can find the Seaside Baths, the Navy Museum, the Aquarium and Dolphinarium with amusing shows, also the Astronomical Observatory. You are spoilt for choice as to where to eat but recommended is Captain Cook's if you like fish dishes. Before you leave Varna at night take a loolook at the lit up Catherdal, it's awesome.
