Muzey Sveta Anastasiya

Embark on an unforgettable sea adventure to the only inhabited island on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast – St. Anastasia Island, and discover its heart – the Museum 'St. Anastasia'. Located just a few kilometers from Burgas, the island and its museum offer a unique blend of history, mysticism, and natural beauty. Immerse yourself in the rich history of the island, which has successively served as a medieval monastery, a refuge for pirates, and later a political prison. The museum is cleverly housed in the renovated monastery buildings, eloquently narrating the lives of the monks, the fates of the exiles, and the legends that shroud the island. The exhibition includes archaeological finds, everyday objects from the prisoners, interactive panels, and multimedia presentations that bring the past to life before your eyes. Don't miss visiting the preserved island church 'Assumption of Mary', which adds to the authentic atmosphere. The museum is not merely a repository of artifacts; it's a vibrant narrative of the vicissitudes of time, the strength of the human spirit, and the majesty of nature. From the museum's terraces, breathtaking panoramic views of the Black Sea and Burgas Bay unfold. A visit to the Museum 'St. Anastasia' is more than just a cultural experience – it's a comprehensive adventure that begins with the boat trip from Burgas. On the island, you can also savor local cuisine at the restaurant, visit the lighthouse, or simply relax amidst the tranquility of the sea. A place that will captivate you with its uniqueness and history.
