The town of Balchik is 31 km north and north-east of Varna, and is situated on the coast itself. There is a big harbor used for medium-size passenger and trade vessels. After the Crimean War the town flourished and grew into a big corn-trading centre. After the Balkan War in 1913 it was included in the territories of Romania. Struck by the natural beauty of the place Queen Maria built a palace and a botanical garden, a chapel and a villa complex for the Romania aristocrats. The town turned into a luxurious resort at the time. After 1940 Balchik was again included in Bulgarian territory. Apart from the palace, the palace complex and the botanical garden – the biggest and most diverse in the Balkans, the town is attractive to tourists with its ancient atmosphere that has been preserved for centuries now. The area of Touzlata is located 4 km east of the town and is well known for its curing mud. A balneo-centre was built here beside the two lakes, formed by old landslides. There is a mineral spring with water temperature of 30°C. Near Balchik are the two big camping sites. They offer various opportunities for rest and water sports, clubs, bars, numerous bungalows for tourists having no camping equipment, small restaurants and stalls for sea and continental food.
