Irakli

Irakli is a protected area with camping site close to the village of Emona in the municipality of Nessebar. It is 9 km away from the town of Obzor and 70 km south of the city of Varna. Although in the camping site there are bungalows of different institutions, it is famous for its virgin nature and clean environment, which cannot be found almost anywhere else at the Bulgarian seaside. As it is away from the big resorts – Golden Sands and Sunny Beach, and there is almost no infrastructure in the area, Irakli is visited mainly by young people, who ignore the lack of comfort and enjoy their contact with wild nature. There are a lot of tents and whole families live there from June to September. The bay has a large beach stripe – more than 3 km, which reaches to Cape Emine. Irakli is included in the list of Protected Areas. The purpose is to preserve the typical coastal habitats of rare and endangered floral species, as well as lots of birds.
