Bulgaria
Bulgaria is located in Southeast Europe, in the northeast part of the Balkan Peninsula. It is a European, Balkan, Black Sea and Danube country. This geographic location places it on the crossroad between Europe, Asia and Africa. The country’s favorable climate and natural attractions provide the basis for the development of its 142 resorts, of which 26 are marine resorts, 56 mountain resorts, and 58 are balneological resorts, not counting the numerous balneological and spa centers.

Sunny Beach
Sunny Beach is the largest resort in Bulgaria. It is situated on a bay in the shape of a crescent between the town of Nesebar and the resort Sveti Vlas. With its hundreds of hotels, multiple entertainment and catering establishments, shops and its developed infrastructure, the resort complex can presently receive thousands of tourists. The beach line is over 10 km in length and in some places it is more than 60 meters wide. The fine sand, the natural sand dunes and the gradually deepening sea bottom attract thousands of tourists from around the world.

Elenite
Elenite is a vacation complex, situated at the sea shore, on the southern slope of the easternmost Balkan Mountain. The resort is located in a beautiful bay in close proximity to Cape Emine, 4.5 kilometers from Sveti Vlas and 8.5 kilometers from Sunny Beach. The international airport of Burgas is only 40 km away from Elenite. The complex is designed so that its exposition is entirely southern. It consists of villas and hotels situated among the fresh greenery of the Balkan mountain and it offers its guests peace and luxury, combined with beautiful nature and fresh air.
