Sveti Vlas Hiking Trails

In the mountain above Sveti Vlas there are several Hiking trails that provide moderate physical exertion, which in turn is rewarded with crystal clear and lung-opening air. The view over the whole bay is just a bonus.

There are numerous gazebos set up for relaxation, and there are many water fountains usually a little off the trails (you will have to check the hiking trails maps for the exact location and is always advisable to have water in you) that provide cold spring water.
