The main characteristic of the beaches in this part of the southern Black sea coast is that the individual beaches, especially the smaller ones, are separated via rocky, jutting in the sea capes. Most of the rocks are broken and the sea water forms small bays. Thus among the coastal cliffs are formed narrow and deep bays with crystal clear water and big habitat, which is a real paradise for divers. The neighboring beaches are separated by the capes and are protected from the cold winds during the winter, which makes them appropriate for a year round resort usage. Kavacite, Alepu, Arkutino and Ropotamo beaches are very well preserved and attract thousand of visitors during the summer season. The sites are now in process of development and a lot of enterprisers are investing there. Read more about Ropotamo reserve here. The villa site Duni is relatively new resort complex.
