The self-catering Prostor complex is situated on the idyllic Obzor beach and offers fabulous value as a family getaway in the sun. The quiet managed beach is within a minutes walk and offers a range of activities, bars and fantastic bathing. The award wining Obzor Beach Resort (resort of the year 2007) borders this property and holidaymakers can take advantage of their 4* services (excursions, activities, gym, wellness, kindergarten, doctor, etc.) in a “pay as you go” manor giving them unprecedented flexibility at a very good price.
The apartment resides in its own secure gated setting and benefits from a super sized sea facing balcony and sea views from all rooms, private shared pool, restaurant, sauna, gym, lifts and private parking (pool use and parking is included). The air conditioned apartment consists of two spacious bedrooms, WC, bathroom with WC, laundry room and open plan lounge/kitchen.
Obzor is an ideal base from which to explore the Bulgarian coastline. Varna and Golden Sands are north and easily reachable by car, to the south there is the historic town of Nessebar, Sozopol, Bourgas and Sunny Beach. There are also many places of historical interest in the general area.

The Black Sea Coast region
The Black Sea Riviera covers the eastern border of Bulgaria stretching from the Romania in the north to Turkey in the south, along 378 km of coastline. White and golden sandy beaches occupy approximately 130 km of the 378 km long coast.
The coastline is Bulgaria's most popular tourist destination. Prior to 1989 the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was internationally known as the Red Riviera it's nickname has been changed to the Bulgarian Riviera.
The average air temperature in the summer is 28°C, with the average water temperature at 26°C. There are more than 240 hours of sunshine in May and September and more than 300 hours in July and August.
The Balkan Mountains cross the country reaching to the edge of the Black Sea at Cape Emine, dividing the coastline into a southern and northern part. Parts of Bulgaria's northern Black Sea Coast feature rocky headlands with cliffs up to 70 metres in height.
There are many leisure facilities located up and down the coastline especially nearer the larger resorts of Sunny Beach and Golden Sands.
Obzor area
At a point roughly midway between Bourgas and Varna, the E-87 highway emerges from the hilly wooded terrain into a brief open coastal stretch around Obzor. Despite the town's convenient location and six-kilometre long sandy beach (the largest between Golden Sands and Sunny Beach), this remarkably pleasant spot is surprisingly uncrowded even during peak season.
The origins of the town, which the ancient Greeks knew as Heliopolis ("town of the sun"), can be seen in the small park which is lined with columns and statuary fragments from a Roman temple to Jupiter which once graced the spot. The Romans also built a fortress in the vicinity to protect their sea trading routes between Constantinople and the Danube. Medieval Bulgarians constructed their own Kozyak fortress nearby.
The best thing to do is relax and kick back on the extensive beach. When boredom sets in, head six kilometres north to Biala. Founded in the 3rd century BC, Biala today is a mix of traditional working village and tourist resort and appears more prosperous than most Bulgarian villages, undoubtedly due to the thriving local wine industry. It also boasts an impressive setting atop bluffs that end abruptly at the water's edge. Stairs lead down to a secluded beach that curves north toward rocky Cape Atanas; to the south, another promontory separates the small sandy strip from the much longer beach at Obzor.
VICINITY South of Obzor, the highway courses for 14 kilometres through open vineyards and the heavily wooded Balkan range to Cape Emine, which overlooks the Bay of Nessebur. Bulgaria's stormiest cape has a lighthouse and the ruins of a medieval fortress and monastery. Today, a deserted church is the only remaining structure. The nearby hamlet of Emona had a Thracian sanctuary and, later, a temple to Jupiter. The name of the medieval Bulgarian fortress, Emona, was derived from Aemon, the ancient name for the Balkan Mountains.
Obzor is a major rest stop for buses and vans from Bourgas and Varna that regularly ply the north-south coastal highway, so getting there from either direction is not a problem.
How to get there
Flying: The number of carriers flying to Bourgas or Varna airports is increasing. Charters from Thompson and similar tour operators are joined by scheduled flights from British Airways (www.ba.com), Wizz (www.wizzair.com), Austrian (www.aua.com), Lufthansa (www.lufthansa.com), Bulgaria Air (www.air.bg) and Alitalia (www.alitalia.com).
Getting there: The apartment is situated just outside Obzor approximately half way between Varna and Bourgas (70km) from either airport. Buses regularly stop en-route between the two cities but I would recommend you either hire a car or use a local Obzor Taxi to commute to the resort. I can supply details of a local driver if you require one.
