Unfortunately the website of the municipality of Sozopol is still not functioning in it's english version. Which is rather sad because i've been having this blog for some 3 or 4 years and i've been waiting for them to release a working english based website and obviously they need to be reminded that people would like to read more and know more. And when they provide us with usefull litle facts about the art and history and culture of Sozopol it is an absurd thing to have blogers like me translating and providing that information to the wide public of non bulgarian speakes in english.

I am writing this post to explayn why i need to translate news in english, to be honest the official site of the municipality of Sozopol can provide you with interesting history facts, nice videos, and you can actually see the every day life of the city. Small and bigger celebrations, children drawing and so on. So i need to say it - althought Sozopol is moving very fast forward there is still much to do towards the presentation of the city online. Because it is a very nice city, the beaches are great and the people are nice and the architecture is interesting, especially the old town architecture.

I will continue to publish news from their site, althought big news are not so often published simply because big things are complicated to execute and don't happen so often. So stay tuned, i will be working on providing some more pictures and history facts about the city. And actually i will search for the book of one of our ministers Bogidar Dimitrov and read it for he has a very profound view of bulgarian history and since he wrote a book especially for Sozopol it must be interesting.

The four houses complex is situated in the southern part of the city Sozopol. They are placed on the terrain so that all the apartments have a view towards the sea. The houses combine wooden elements again with modern shapes and structure but interesting here is the the dynamics they form as if they are moving towards the sea.

The feeling of lightness and movement come from the slope of the terrain and the shapes the houses form when viewed from different sides and from one another.
Those four Sozopol houses are in construction. Architect of the houses is Anton Rangelov. He graduated architecture in Sofia, 2001 and established his office there.

The climate in Sozopol is temperate but important is the influence of Black sea and the Mediterranean wind. The sun shining annually reaches 2100 – 2200 hours and is good for heliotherapy from march until October.

The full length of the coast line of Sozopol is 51 km. 17.1 km of those are beaches covered with fine golden sand. Between the numerous beaches one will find rock massifs that enhance the beauty of the coast line in a special way.

On the territory of Sozopol there are three small islands situated not far from the city – “The snake island” also called “Saint Tomas”, “Saint Ivan” and “Saint Stefan” islands. Very picturesque are the dunes of the beaches Alepu, Kavacite and Gerena with their interesting shapes and vegetation.

The Bulgarian Black sea is famous also with it’s various and specific flora. A special type of wild cactus grows only on the Snake Island near Sozopol. One of a kind is as well the wild forest that grows alongside the river Ropotamo that have kept a liana like vegetation called Longoz. Those plants give the name of the forest – Longoza.

You can actually see here a moment from the restauration of the old city walls and enforcement of one of the buildings in process.
