    Beglik-Tash

    Begin your day with a drive from Burgas along one of Bulgaria’s most beautiful coastal routes. As the city disappears behind you, the landscape changes. The Black Sea opens to the horizon and the forests of Strandzha Mountain begin to appear. First, stop at the ancient Thracian stone sanctuary of Beglik-Tash, the Bulgarian Stonehenge of the Black Sea. Hidden among the forests near Primorsko and the Ropotamo Nature Reserve, this site is home to enormous stone formations, sacred circles, and forgotten rituals. Created and used by the ancient Thracians, the sanctuary dates back to prehistoric times and continued to be connected with religious practices for centuries. Archaeological research suggests activity here from the Bronze Age and later Thracian periods. Walk among the giant megaliths and discover the sacred stone circles, the ritual platforms, the “Marriage Bed” of the Sun God and the Mother Goddess, the stone labyrinth, and the ancient astronomical elements of the sanctuary.
