1 Day tour walking on the edge of civilization!

The tour starts at Russalka - once called 'Tauk Liman' wich in Turkish means 'The bird cove'. Probably the name was given because of the many migrating birds stopping here for a rest on their way. The Via Pontica migratory passage crosses this area wich makes it a great place for bird-watching in the spring/autumn migration. The tour continues on the edge of the rocky coast towards Yailata - a seaside terrace, separated from the Dobrudja Plateau with 50-60-meter high cliffs. Located 20 km. north of Cape Kaliakra, it combines both archaeological finds and wild nature. There is a cave town consisting of 101 cave dwellings from the V century BC., an ancient sanctuary, altars, wineries, four necropolises and an early Byzantine fortress from the V-VI century AD.

During the Middle ages the caves were used as a monastery complex. The walls of some of the caves still keep legible proto-Bulgarian signs – runes, crosses and stone icons. Visit of the caves followed by skinny-dipping in the sea and lunch. After the short break the tour continues direction north towards Tyulenovo. This village has it's name because once a colony of seals used to live in the caves along the rocky coast. Unfortunately no seal has been seen in the area since the 1980. But still there is a hope that some of them hide around. On the contrary dolphins can be seen often, as they usually come near to the land in the early morning or late afternoon.
