When building specialized facilities on the very end of St. Atanas cape near the town of Byala in the distant 2010 the remains of an ancient city are accidentally discovered.

And today everyone can walk past the ancient wineries, see the beautiful vineyards planted hundreds of years ago, visit an ancient church complex and see the long, beach line from afar.

The place is awesome!

The sea is endless!

The wind - constantly in the chase with the waves!

The seagulls - free and staring at the sun!

This was the case thousands of years ago, when huge vineyards spread here and the ancients produced wine right here, by the nose and by the sea.

We will walk along the ancient central street - named Mass, where life probably thrived here 1500 years ago, where there were craft shops and inns for the rest of strangers from distant places.

Three wineries have been discovered during excavations in the ancient city. We will also see a model of an ancient device for wine production.

The basilica in front of the boundless sea - today you will see the altar table and several columns, witnessed by those long-forgotten and accidentally discovered ancient times.


I wish you an exceptional and impressive walk!
