The Pearl of the Black Sea
Lying on the remnants of an ancient Thracian civilisation dating to about 4000 BC , Varna is Bulgaria’s third biggest city and maritime capital. In 2008, Varna was the designated seat of the Black Sea Euroregion by the Council of Europe and recieved the title of European Youth Capital in 2017. It's Yana's childhood home and where her parents still live. Apparently also known as the 'centre of the Universe'.
A combination of port city, naval base and seaside resort, it’s an appealing place to while away a few days, packed with history yet thoroughly modern, with an enormous park to amble round and a lengthy beach to lounge on. In the city centre you’ll find Bulgaria’s largest Roman baths complex and its finest archaeological museum, as well as a lively cultural and restaurant scene. Varna is also the place where the oldest gold in world and the oldest prehistoric village were found!
Good news for us all if we experience the apocalypse during your stay. Varna is only 500km from Rodoppi Mountain, an apparent safe haven to wait out the end of the world. In the event of this circumstance, carriages will be rearranged on a first come first served basis
