Sinemoretz is a village type resort situated at the very south part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, where Valeka River empties into the sea, close to the border with Turkey. Sinemorec is the most southern Bulgarian resort. The nearest resort to the north is Ahtopol – 5 km away and Bourgas, the nearest airport, is 85 km away. Globalization has not affected the village yet and it is very calm, a mix of virgin nature and quietness. There are no big hotels and night clubs in Sinemoretz, which is why it attracts people who are looking for solitary beaches and peaceful atmosphere. Because the place was not rediscovered until recently, the nature is perfectly preserved with crystal clear water, thick forests and mild sand. Until 1989 the village was a restricted area due to the proximity with the Turkish border. After the fall of communism, the resort has started to gain popularity especially among the wealthier people from Bulgaria, who are looking to build houses in yet not globalized area with untouched nature. The settlement dates back from ancient times, there are remains of a Thracian fortress and ceramic fragments from V-IV century BC. The village got its name, Sinemoretz in 1930, literary translated from the Greek “galaza” meaning sky-blue. The mouth of Valeka River is situated north from the village. It is the only firth in Bulgaria and forms extremely beautiful sand hair at the point of infusion of the river; this is the north beach of Sinemoretz and it is called “The Hair”. The south beach of Sinemoretz is on the other side of the mouth of Valeka River and is characterized by different beautiful rocky formations. The most famous are “The Cave of the Pigeons”, “Sizif’s Rock” and the “Separated Crag”. South of Sinemoretz is the protected Silistar area. Silistar is coastal humid area with typical and preserved Longoz forest, a home of many rare and protected birds.
