St Vlas otherwise known as Sveti Vlas
Sveti Vlas (St Vlas) is located on the south slopes of the Stara Planina mountain, in Bulgaria, on the northern part of Bourgas Bay, just 4 km north of Sunny Beach and 9 km away from the town of Nessebar. It forms part of the Bulgarian Riviera.
It is believed that Sveti Vlas was founded by the Tracian tribe Larisi at the end of the 2nd century BC, and was then called Larisa. It was renamed Sveti Vlas in 14th century AD after Saint Blaise, the patron saint of cattle growers and merchants.
During the Ottoman rule (late 14th-19th century AD), the village was known as 'Manastir' ('Monastery') or 'Kyuchuk Manastir', named after the five monasteries which had been built in the vicinity. Unfortunately, none of these monasteries has survived to present day. Officially, it restored its name of Sveti Vlas after the reunification of the Bulgarian state in 1886.
Today St Vlas is Inhabited by about 3000 local people, and if you are looking for a quieter alternative to Sunny Beach, then Sveti Vlas could be the answer. It is the only resort in Bulgaria with a completely south facing sandy beach. It is quieter than Sunny Beach, but is close enough to benefit from its restaurants, shops and other facilities.
