The Bulgarian Black Sea coast is lined by long beaches and dramatic headlines, which each have their own unique draws for tourists. Thousands of these tourists choose to visit Cape Kaliakra every year, and it is not hard to see why. This cape juts into one of the most beautiful bays in the whole of Bulgaria, and the area is steeped in historical and cultural significance.
Situated close to the Romanian border, the Cape was a strategic stronghold for various rulers, including the Thracians, the Romans, the Byzantines and the Bulgarians. The bay and nearby lake are also home to thousands of plants, animals, birds and fish. But there is still another reason why some visitors come to the Cape; the three fantastic golf courses in the region.
The golf courses around Cape Kaliakra are widely regarded as the best in the Varna region. When the spectacular setting is considered alongside the innovative course designs, they may be considered to be amongst the best in Europe.
Each of the three courses requires a slightly different style of play, and it is said in the region that those who can master all three are ready to take on the world. In fact, a 54-hole competition runs every summer for those who believe that they can win across all three courses.
The Thracian Cliffs course, designed by Gary Player, has also previously played host to a leg of the European Tour.
Great value golf packages are also available for those who want the opportunity to try their hand at the three courses: the Thracian Cliffs, the Lighthouse Golf and the BlackSeaRama. Depending on what package you choose, you may be able to play multiple rounds on one course, or you may be able to organise to play on a combination of the different courses. As costs are normally lower in Bulgaria, you will make your money go much further.
When you are not on the course or out sightseeing, you can choose to relax in one of the many luxurious resorts within the area. Most golf packages that are available will include standard accommodation fees, and it is normally possible to upgrade your suite if you fancy relaxing in style. The best hotels in the area offer guests access to spa facilities, pools, entertainment and many other holiday extras. If your family or travel companions are not as interested in golf as you are, they will still be able to find plenty of things to keep their interest.
