A remarkable walking tour around Balchik, the Palace of Queen Maria and the Botanical garden.
Itinerary
Day 1
This is a remarkable walking tour around Balchik, the Palace of the Romanian Queen Maria and the Botanical garden. This is something different and you will sure spend nice and relaxing time with your guide Patrick and enjoy all his personal attention!
The harbour town of Balchik is located 31 km away from Varna. It was founded in the V century BC. The name of the town comes from the ancient Greek word for springs due to the numerous healing carvern waters that spring in the area.
The town is famous for the largest and richest botanical garden on the Balkans and the palace of the Romanian queen Maria (1924). The palace complex consists of a central palace with a high tower, many buildings in a style typical for that time, a park with terraces, lanes and paths, stone alcoves with marvellous columns and sea view.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
