ITINERARY
An amazing trip to one of the last unspoiled spots on the Black Sea coast. Tour of the caves followed by skinny-dipping in the sea. Copious lunch at the mussel farm "Dulboka".
Information:
Yailata is a seaside terrace, separated from the Dobrudja Plateau with 50-60-meter high cliffs. Located 20 km. north of Cape Kaliakra, it combines both archaeological finds and wild nature.
There is a cave town consisting of 101 cave dwellings from the V century BC., an ancient sanctuary, altars, wineries, four necropolises and an early Byzantine fortress from the V-VI century AD.
During the Middle ages the caves were used as a monastery complex. The walls of some of the caves still keep legible proto-Bulgarian signs runes, crosses and stone icons. The Via Pontica migratory passage crosses this area. More than 178 species of nesting migratory birds can be seen here.
