A medieval Orthodox Christian cave monastery complex with beautiful mosaics and frescoes in a reserved forest. Cool souvenirs and eating. We can organize a half-day trip for you if you choose so!

Just beyond Varna’s northeastern suburbs is an astounding Orthodox cave monastery complex that is part of a protected natural area just in from the coast. These caves are man-made and have been purposely carved from the face of a 25-metre-high karst cliff. It’s one for the sure-footed, as some of the terrain can be tough!
