About Obzor

Obzor is one of our Black Sea resorts with long, interesting and dynamic history. It is situated on the hills of Stara Planina Mountain, gently sloping down to the Black Sea. The town has a wide beach line, which stretches from Sveti Atanas Cape all the way to Mona Petra Cape. The famous Irakli Beach is not far away.

What we call “Obzor” today has had different names in the past. In the era of ancient Ellada it was known as Havlohos, in Roman times – as Templum Iovis (meaning “Temple of Jupiter”). In Medieval times the area was named Koziak. The magnificent fortresses that were built then were later destroyed by the Ottoman invaders. The name Obzor was first used in 1935 and since then the complex has been building its modern reputation as a well-known sea resort.

The area surrounding Obzor is exceptionally beautiful and interesting. It is a region of many beaches lying between picturesque rocks and capes. Not far away is the famous Emine Cape, which is the furthermost point of Stara Planina Mountain. This area is known as Paleocastro and in Medieval times there used to be a fortress called Emona here. Rock chapels have been built in the shore region and the caves have given refuge to monks and hermits.

Today Obzor is a great holiday spot, which offers a range of services to its guests. Most of the hotels here are new and luxurious, and have been built only recently. Restaurants offer great food and the night life can definitely satisfy all requirements.
