Palace in Balchik

The town of Balchik is a small seaside town situated 31km north of Varna. It is a relatively large settlement along the Northern seaside and a harbour used for medium-sized passenger and commercial vessels. It combines the romance of its steep streets with the beauty of the sea. For a long time it has been known as the White Town for the mainly white colour of its lime rocks.
The exceptional view of the town Balchik from the sea impressed the great Ovid who exclaimed: "O white stone town, I salute thee for thy inimitable beauty!". The Milesian colonists believed that the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, was born there out of the sea foam.
Famous place of interest in Balchik City is The Botanical garden - the "residence" of 3000 or so plant species of which cacti alone are over 250, and thus Europe`s second most important collection.
