[1] The production of sea salt was the main livelihood and wealth of Pomorie in the Middle Ages.

There is evidence and it can be assumed that the ancient colony Anchialos of Apollonia, Thrace originated in the 5th century BC, around the extraction of sea salt.

In all probability, the tradition is connected and transferred from the ancient and neighboring Solnitsata.

It was not until the Middle Ages that the extraction of rock salt began in Salina Turda.

The concessionaire of the Pomorie salt pans in the 16th century was Michael Kantakouzenos Şeytanoğlu, known by his Ottoman nickname "son of Satan" as Archon of Constantinople under Suleiman the Magnificent, and as a cousin of Russia's first tsar, Ivan the Terrible.
