I went to Cape Kaliakra with my family a few days ago. Beautiful!! The sea, the cliffs...everything was amazing. A big surprise was the Restaurant Castello di Kaliakra...well...Brava! It was a big surprise to find such good service and good food were we least expected. Smart employees, attention to details, very clean and attractive menu. I am glad that we had that trip to Kaliakra because it was a very nice experience. And for Castello di Kaliakra just one word: Congratulations!
One of the most beautiful places in Bulgarian Black Sea coast. There is a restaurant and a car parking near the cape.
Cape Kaliakra is the eastern point of Bulgaria. It's high narrow rocky cliff(reaching 70 m ) with great views to the blue water. Remrants of a medieval town is located there.In addition: there is a restaurant and several pavilions where people sell drinks.
A pleasant afternoon well worth a visit. The views are outstanding and the history is interesting to.Well sign posted and easy to get to. The facilities there are good and well looked after. DO NOT MISS.
We just went there to admire the nature, having no idea about the history of that place. We have discovered a natural stronghold, inhabited for 2500 years, a great panorama, a museum and a nice restaurant. The water was so clear that, from 70 m high, we could see the fishes close to the shore. It would have been perfect if there was a boat trip, so we could admire the cliffs from the sea level.
Visiting Cape Kaliakra was the best idea. Outstanding views, beautiful sea and cliffs. We were glad to find even a restaurant: Castello di Kaliakra. Attention to details, clean, good service and a very tasty and fresh food. We ate in a few minutes with a view to remember. Overall a very good experience. Can't wait to do it again. As for the restaurant Castello di Kaliakra: Well done!
Except military base with antennas and radars,that spoil the landscape, the place offer an amazing view.The see is emerald green.You can see dolphins swimming around.
If you are in Varna, don't miss a trip here. It's got a beautiful view along with wind turbine along the way but unfortunately, there are no specific transport to get there directly. You can board hourly bus from Varna to Kavarna which is the nearest city to Kaliakra. It costs somewhere between 10-15 lev and took 1.5 hours. After that, we took a taxi but unfortunately, this is where people can get cheated a lot. Its only 12km to Kaliakra from Kavarna but the taxi charges us 20 lev when it should have been 0.79 lev per km. But since there were no other transportation option, that is the only way to go there. So unless you have a driving license, I recommend you rent a car. Its better this way as you can stop and enjoy the sunflower fields along with the wind generator fields along the way. Also it costs 3 lev for entrance to Kaliakra.
My first time in Bulgaria and I was absolutely stunned, reminded me of the Croatian coastline. Very beautiful scenery, easy to access. If you're here don't miss the restaurant Castello Kaliakra. We had a very good time, our waiter was absolutely brilliant, the food was excellent (we ate fish).You have to pay 3 leva entry fee but this is a small price to pay for the things you will see and experience. 5 stars from me.
I first visited the place in 1997 and now again in 2014. I saw huge improvements of the facilities, there were more signs than before (of course, one can expect more improvements). Sometimes one can see dolphins in the waters below, so watch carefully.There's a small museum, ask for a guided tour. I forgot to ask about availability in other languages than Bulgarian, but you can check. A tip for lovers of off-the-beaten-track places - there are some steps which lead to a gate down below the main tourist site. I must warn though that it's NOT for people afraid of heights. For those, you could at least go a few steps down to take a picture of the gate (arch) as it is normally not seen very well from the main path. The steps start a little further away from the restaurant and museum on your way to the chapel.One more thing - entrance fee was paid on the road at the main gate. So if you're coming by car, be prepared. The ticket includes the parking fee, the entrance fee to the fortress, as well as the museum. There's a toilet - just enter the restaurant. There's a small fee for the WC.
