Kiten – a piece of Paradise

VisitBulgaria.NET, by Georgi Georgiev

The summer resort Kiten is situated on a small peninsula, about 50 km south of Burgas. During the summer season, this small pretty town is full of visitors, who have come to spend their holiday there. We also had some unforgettable nights in Kiten, followed by some relaxing days on the beach. But we are not going into details of our sweet memories, because the best moments are still to come. We shall only tell you about this wonderful site, the fine sand, the sun and the sea.

One of the things you would really love in Kiten is the greenery that surrounds the town and the beaches. There are no big constructions near the sand stripe as well, so Kiten is a sheltered, cosy site with its own magic and exotic. There are two beaches, situated in quiet bays to the north and to the south of the town. During the summer they are filled with life and the merry din of the holiday-makers. According to the visitors the northern beach is better one. Probably it is so attractive because of the very old legend. At the beginning of the Turkish slavery, the ottoman sultan besieged the coastal fortress Urdoviza. Its remains can be seen near Kiten. He fell in love with local lass (according to other saga she was the ruler of the fortress) and he wanted to marry her. She accepted with tears in her eyes, but she asked the sultan to free of the taxes so mush land as she was able to go round on horse for one night. The girl rounded 17 villages and in the morning she reached the bay, where she and the horse passed away. The sultan was filled of admiration for the brave Bulgarian girl and he kept to his promise. The northern bay was named Atliman – the horse bay.

Today there is no sigh of the tragically events, went on centuries ago. Now the tourists are basking under the sun, swimming in the blue sea and happy kids built sand castles, living in their imaginary world, just like “Le petit prince”. Music sounds from the beach bars and the beer pours from the beer tenders - everything necessary to have a great time on the beach. And during the night there is a real summer fiesta in a very attractive night club. Half of it is on the beach and the other half is in the sea waters. It is quite common to miss the beach parties, because of the numerous cosy taverns along the way. It is a question of priority and one would definitely love to share the delicious meal and the heavy drinks with a good company. The night clubs are still there and you can plunge in their atmosphere as soon as you can.

In my opinion the south beach is in every way the north beach equal and it is excellent site for rest and entertainment. It is situated in Karaagch bay. It reaches the outflow of Karaagch River, also named Kitenska, to the south and Urdoviza peninsula, where the pier is situated, to the north. And one of things you will always remember is the magnificent view. Towards evening, when people leave and the beach becomes desert, the breeze brings white, playful waves, the sand is getting even more golden, lit by the sun. And in the distance the green hills of Strandzha Mountain let down lightly to the sea, to become in one with it forever.
