You can sit all day on the beach in Varna if you wish, but there is more to do than that, especially if you have good shoes and a good appetite!
Taxis are cheap and safe, or for a small handful of stotinki you may like to try out the bus service. Varna is full of history which you can still see all around you today. Your host will tell you how to reach some fascinating places that will keep you clicking your camera.

Restaurants and coffee shops - everywhere!
A visit to the popular and elegant Golden Sands resort is a must - you may spot a movie star or two while you are there!
There is plenty of night life - visit the seafront down the steps from the city centre's main pedestrianised street, which leads you right onto the beach past all these other attractions - excellent restaurants, bars, coffee shops (oh-oh, those cream cakes again!) and nightclubs. This is a particularly enjoyable area on warm evenings.
When your evening is over, taxis are to be found at all hours so keep a few leva in your pocket after you have enjoyed the food and drink.
We can't begin to name all the restaurants, they are everywhere and all offer excellent food.
This holiday villa in Varna is pet / dog friendly.
