Introducing Kiten

Although not as bustling as Primorsko, the little resort of Kiten, 5km to the south, is developing quickly, with numerous hotel complexes rising up in recent years and an increasing number of foreign tourists, especially Czechs and Scandinavians, discovering its once hidden charms. Excavations have indicated evidence of Thracian and Roman settlement in the area, but there is little obvious history here today. There’s no town centre as such, so all shops, restaurants and hotels are dotted along the roads between the two beaches; the biggest concentration is on ul Atliman, which is lined with restaurants and bars.

The northern Atliman Beach is along a horseshoe-shaped bay, one of the cleanest and prettiest along the Black Sea coast, and the hills in the background thankfully hinder all possible future development. Morski Beach to the south is sheltered, ideal for swimming and has plenty of beachside cafés.
