  1. Kraybrezhna aleya

    Officially known as aleya Georgi Georgiev but more commonly referred to either as Plazhna aleya or Kraybrezhna aleya, the coastal lane along the beach is the centre of Varna's summer nightlife. In summer it's lined with clubs, bars and restaurants, only a handful of which operate at other times of year, and many change names from one season to the next. Pick up the Summer Seaside Guide to see what's new.
