Things to do

Holidays to Albena tend to focus around the stunning beach that so many holidaymakers come here for, however outside the golden sands and crystal waters lies a wealth of history and culture. One place that should make the list of places to visit is Kaliakra. For a thousand years or more, Kaliakra was a major settlement, first for the Romans, then the Bulgarians, however it was finally destroyed in the Ottoman invasion. It's a fascinating place offering spectacular views out to sea. There is a small museum located here that is extremely interesting due to it actually being in a cave. You should definitely take a day trip here and experience this incredible site.

Food and drink

Although it is said that the food and drink in Albena is believed to be the most expensive in Bulgaria, one certainly gets good value for money. There are many quality restaurants serving traditional Bulgarian, continental European, Indian and Chinese cuisine, as well as those serving British favourites. Most of the eateries here sit along the resort's bustling promenade and are right beside the beach.
