St.
Vlas or Sveti Vlas as it is know in Bulgaria is a thriving village
just 5 kilometres
north of sunny Beach. St. Vlas is a quieter resort, that would
suit families with young children or just people who wish to
get away from all the hustle and bustle.
Beautiful sandy beaches combined with a back drop of the tree
covered Balkan mountain range makes St. Vlas an ideal location
for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday with fantastic views of
Nessebar and Sunnybeach.
The village of St Vlas – just a short walk from Vega Village,
has developed in recent years, with a selection of fabulous
restaurants and shops to choose from.
The
new marina in St. Vlas, just a stones throw from Vega Village
with 150 berths, sailing lessons, boat hire, numerous restaurants,
is a must for every sailing enthusiast.
The
village of Sveti Vlas (St. Vlas) is believed to have been founded
by the Thracian tribe of Larisi in the 2nd century BC.
During
Ottoman rule (late 14th-19th century AC), the village appeared
in administrative registrars as 'Manastir' ('Monastery') or
'Kyuchuk Manastir' after the five monasteries in the vicinity
of the village. Unfortunately, none of the monasteries has been
preserved. Officially, it restored its name of Sveti Vlas after
the reunification of the Bulgarian state in 1886.
