Black Sea Hotels

When you are on holiday at the Bulgarian seaside and you pass along the resorts of Sunny Bach and Sveti Vlas you will see a variety of beautiful sceneries. At one side the sea merges with the blue sky, while at the other side the green hills of the Emine Balkan, the eastern part of Stara Planina are soaring. Right there, between the two heights, named “Kabuktchiata”, Kosharitsa village is huddled. Until recently it was almost infamous but now the region is becoming a very popular tourism destination. It is just 3 - 4 km away from Sunny Beach and is located 120 m above the sea level at the foot of the mountain.
There are 1054 people living in Kosharitsa. Several British, Irish, German, Scandinavian and Benelux families have chosen the region around Kosharitsa, known as “Almond Hills” for their second home. There are more than 20 houses sold in the region. The buyers are attracted by the low prices of the properties and by the calmness of the village. Its location also plays role in their choice.
There are numerous proves that the region was inhabited ever since ancient times. Many archeological finds from Thracians times were found there. Ancient people, who used to live close to the nature, choose the place because of the favourable climate conditions. The old name of Kosharitsa is Kashla – dere (“dere” – “gulch”). It is mentioned for the first time during the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-1878. In 1934 the village was renamed to Kosharitsa. The legend tells that the first settler in Kosharitsa was Diado Ivan (“diado” means “grandpa”). He originated from rich family from Erkech village, Bourgas. People said that his half-brother would inherit everything. Ivan killed his brother and run away in Kashla-dere where he had a cattle. Probably there he found other settlers from the local sites that had came here because of the healthy climate. The feast of the village is November 1st, the day of Saint Ivan Rilski, named after its founder.
The holiday in Kosharitsa is great fun for those who love the beaches and the nightlife because it is so close to Sunny Beach and Nessebar. Those who want to find the silence and calmness among the hills of Stara Planina, will certainly love Kosharitsa.
Right to the village is the natural reserve “Kalinata”. There is a natural habitat of torfaceous snowdrop and unique plant life in the dense forest “Kalinata”. Kosharitsa is listed in Natura 2000 (a network of protected areas in Europe). Main ornithology route is passing above the village as well.
