Aksakovo is a dynamic and rapidly growing town located in Northeastern Bulgaria. Situated just 10 km northwest of Varna and nestled at the foot of the scenic Frangen Plateau, it offers a perfect mix of modern infrastructure and strategic proximity to the Black Sea coast.
Formerly known as Adzhemler, the town was renamed in 1934 to honor the public figure Ivan Aksakov.
Built on a gentle slope facing Lake Varna, the town enjoys a temperate-continental climate. Its elevation (80–140m above sea level) provides cooler summers and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valley and the sea in the distance.

Aksakovo can be visited year-round, but late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer the most pleasant weather and fewer tourists. Summer is the busiest season; winter is the quietest, with shorter daylight and possible cold weather.
Bulgarian settlements typically reward unhurried walking — historic centres, churches and monasteries, local markets, and family-run restaurants serving regional dishes. Larger towns often have museums and seasonal cultural events. The local tourist information centre is a good first stop for current opening hours and what's on.
