Although the Bulgarian coast is rather mild, near the resort of Obzor or Sunny Beach we can find the steepest Bulgarian cape Emine as if cut out of the catalogues of classic steep rocky capes.

On its peak stands a lighthouse and nearby also the ruins of a medieval fortress with a monastery. About 4 km from the cape you'll find the famous Irakli beach, which is one of the nicest and most peaceful beaches without the lush bars and hotel complexes.

Cape Emine is most easily reached by rental car, with public transport only going 1-2 times a day to the nearby village of Emona.
