A new yacht port will be built in the resort place of Ahtopol. The coastline in this part of the Black Sea is extremely suitable for this initiative. The yacht port is a project of the Municipality which expects a high rise of the level of tourists coming into the resort in the next few years.
Another piece of news which will contribute to the popularity of the resort is the change in the statute of the sea ports Ahtopol, Sozopol, Pomorie, Nessebar and Tsarevo. It will be with a statute of public transport with regional importance, and not as by now – with national importance. This was decided by the National Assembly, which accepted on first and second reading the changes in the Law for the sea spaces, internal sea routes, and the ports of Republic Bulgaria. Importer of the changes is the deputy Rumen Angelov.
By now the sea port of Bourgas maintained the five ports which is the reason why the infrastructure of the port complexes is not modernizing enough. According to him, the acceptance of the law will improve the conditions for tourism in the five municipalities which will be able to use the already set up port infrastructure.
By now the population of Ahtopol is approx. 1364 inhabitancy. There are sufficient numbers of restaurants, cafes and groceries, offering delicious Bulgarian foods and meals, and a lot of sea foods as well. The town of Ahtopol is preferred resort by many holiday's makers, attracting them with clean air, sandy beaches and peaceful nature. This virgin place on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast has so many sunny days during the summer. Prices are still low compare with the rest of the resorts situated on the Black sea coast. The infrastructure is well developed and there are regular buses to surrounding towns. Five kilometres south of Ahtopol is the mouth of well famous exotic the Veleka River. The village of Varvara is 3 km to the north, favourite place for divers because of stone cavities in the river banks and underwater “reefs” of shells. These are just part of the things which attract so many tourists to the resort of Ahtopol.
