How to visit Saint Anastasia Island?

St. Anastasia Island is one of the most romantic places on our Black Sea coast. The island is shrouded in mystery and hundreds of legends and stories are told about it. The island used to be a monastery, and for some time it also served as a prison. Its area is nearly 9 acres. It is located 6 km from the coast. Today, the island offers its guests a restaurant with sea cuisine "100 years back", a cafe-dispensary, a small amphitheater, a museum telling the history of the island, and a small beach. For those visitors who wish to enjoy the island's romance for more than a day, an overnight stay on the island is available. The island can be reached by the two municipal catamarans - "Burgus" and "Anastasia", which make regular trips from Magazia 1 at the Port of Burgas.
