Atia (Bulgarian: Атия) is a village in Sozopol Municipality, Burgas Province, south-eastern Bulgaria.

Between 1954 and 1977 all the by-products and waste from the mining operations were dumped in the shallow waters near the Black Sea coast.

As a result the village's beach was contaminated with mercury and radioactive elements which give the sand a distinctive dark color.

Decontamination operations began in 1997 after it was determined that the background radiation in the area is twice the normal limit.
