Introducing Albena
One of the biggest of the Black Sea coast’s purpose-built resorts, Albena has been going since 1969 and is named after the heroine of the eponymous play by Yordan Yovkov. Spread out over a wide area, and with a lovely, 4km-long beach and shallow water ideal for water sports, it’s hugely popular with holiday-makers from across Europe. The downside is the horrendous prices charged for just about everything – Albena rivals Sunny Beach (Slânchev Bryag) as the most expensive place in Bulgaria.
