Studio above the fishing harbour

Sozopol was Apollonia, founded by Greeks from Miletus in the sixth century BC, and has been continuously inhabited ever since. The old town is a peninsula of timber revival houses on stone bases, and it is the most attractive place on this coast.

This is a top-floor studio, 41 m², in a house on the harbour side. One room with a sleeping alcove, a compact kitchen, a shower room, and a window seat you will use more than the furniture — below it are the fishing boats, and beyond them the bay towards Chernomorets.

It is small, and it is not trying to be anything else. Two people, comfortably. As a summer base or a short-let it is close to ideal; as a year-round home it would be tight.

The building has four apartments and no management company — the four owners split costs by agreement, which works while everyone is reasonable and is worth understanding before you buy.
