Kiten

The Kiten resort village is situated in Southeastern Bulgaria at the Black Sea seaside, 55 km Southeast of Bourgas and 5 km South of Primorsko. There are two beaches – the Northern (Kiten Atliman) and the Southern (Kiten-South). The Northern is covered in fine sand and is in the inner end of bay. The Southern beach is more than a kilometer long and situated on the Urdovitsa bay. It reaches Kitenska River to the South, which is full of fish. The settlement dates back to VI century B.C. Once upon a time, there has been a Roman fortress in the area, called Urdovitsa. The combination of forest spurs of Strandzha Mountain and the seaside contribute to the special charm of the small resort, which turns into a heavenly place in the summer. Beaches are the main tourist asset of Kiten, which turned it into a resort village and a center for summer recreation. Ropotamo Park is near Kiten. It was declared a reserve in 1940, altered in 1956 and declared a national Park in 1962. It includes the mouth of Ropotamo River and is situated on 847 hectares. Kiten’s landscape is extremely beautiful and attractive. Many tourists prefer Kiten because of the cleaner sea and marvelous forests.
