Resort of Kamchiya


The Resort Complex of Kamchia,, is a Black Sea coastal resort on the northern length of the coast of Bulgaria. It is located 25 km south of the Provincial Centre of Varna in the municipality of Avren and lies north of the mouth of the river Kamchia. It is mainly made up of "rest bases", which are mini-resorts made up of individual villas and bungalows. There is also a functioning fishing village, and the remains of a military outpost,. The resort has a transitional population which only remains for the summer season beginning in May and finishes at the end of September.

History

It was most built during the period in which Bulgaria was communist,. Many of the 'rest bases' would have originally been national institutions, most of which would have been run by individual ministries,. Today, although some of the rest bases have been retained by the government, most are owned by private concessionaires while the standard of the sub-complexes ranges from relatively low to high.
