St. Cyricus Island

Unlike most other Bulgarian Black Sea islands, its infrastructure is completely set up.

In 1925-1926, a school for fishermen and sailors was built on the island, where only orphans were allowed to study.

Until recently, the island was a restricted area, where Bulgarian Navy ships were anchored.

St. Cyricus Island was demilitarized in the 2000s and is to become a centre of international maritime tourism.

As it is a national cultural monument, its heritage will be preserved and the new buildings are required to match the characteristic style of Sozopol.
