This town, blessed with the most sunny days in Bulgaria, is a treasure trove of natural wonders, historical treasures and authentic traditions. Saint George Medical SPA Hotel, nestled in the heart of Pomorie, is your cozy home and an ideal starting point for an unforgettable adventure. Let us guide you through the magic of this seaside oasis, where every landmark tells a story and every moment turns into a memory. Natural Wonders: A Gift from the Earth and the Sea Pomorie Lake: An Ecological Poem Just a stone's throw from the Saint George Hotel, Pomorie Lake reveals its magic as a nature reserve of world importance, part of the Natura 2000 network. This lagoon is home to over 250 species of birds, from pink pelicans to graceful white herons, which dance in the morning mist or under the golden rays of sunset. "The morning by the lake was like a dream," says a hotel guest. "The birds, the silence, the nature — the feeling is of peace that you can't describe." How to visit it: A 5-minute walk from the hotel, with convenient observation trails and binoculars for rent for ornithologists-enthusiasts. The Pink Salt Pans: A Picture from Another World The Pomorie salt pans are a living legacy of the thousand-year-old tradition of mining "white gold". Microorganisms in the salt water turn the pools into pink canvases that seem to belong to another planet. At sunset, this landscape becomes a surreal picture that inspires photographers and dreamers. "We stood speechless in front of the pink lakes," says Daniela from Sofia. "Then we returned to the St. George Hotel for a seafood dinner — the day was perfect." Practical: The salt pans are a short walk from the hotel, with panoramic observation terraces and guides who reveal the secrets of salt mining. Historical Treasures: A Journey Through the Ages The Thracian Dome Tomb: An Ancient Mystery Hidden beneath a hill near Pomorie, the 2nd-3rd century Thracian Dome Tomb is an architectural marvel that whispers of the ancient beliefs of the Thracians. Its intricate structure and symbolism make it unique in the Balkans, and stepping inside is like traveling back in time. “The tomb made me feel like I was part of something bigger,” says one guest. It is on the UNESCO tentative list, underscoring its significance. Visit: Open daily with guided tours organized by the hotel for a deeper understanding of Thracian culture. The Salt Museum: A History More Valuable Than Gold The only Salt Museum in Bulgaria tells the fascinating story of salt mining — from antiquity, when salt was currency, to the present day. Interactive exhibits, authentic tools, and panoramic views of the lake make a visit a journey for the senses. "I learned so much about Pomorie," says one visitor. "And then I enjoyed a coffee on the terrace with a view — a sea idyll." Location: 10 minutes walk from the St. George Hotel, with the option of combined tours with the salt pans. Spiritual Oases: Peace for the Soul St. George Monastery: Sanctuary of Peace Founded in the 14th century and named after our hotel, the Monastery of St. George is a spiritual retreat hidden among ancient trees. Its miraculous icon and quiet atmosphere invite contemplation and inner peace. "The feeling here is like an embrace of nature and history," says a guest. A walk to the monastery is ideal for those seeking spiritual enrichment. How to get there: The hotel organizes short excursions with a transfer for your convenience. Church of the Holy Transfiguration of the Lord: Renaissance beauty This majestic 19th-century church is a masterpiece of the Bulgarian Renaissance. Its masterful iconostasis and authentic frescoes combine Byzantine sophistication with local traditions. Step inside and experience the silence that heals the soul. "The church is like a journey back in time," says one visitor. "Then I walked to the hotel and had dinner overlooking the sea — a day for the soul." Location: A short walk from the hotel, in the heart of the old town. Active vacation: Nature in motion Pomorie Sand Spit: Bridge between sea and lake This 5-kilometer natural strip is a unique phenomenon, connecting Pomorie with the open sea. On one side is the calm lake, on the other — the endless waves. Ideal for jogging, walking or meditation, the hair is a place to connect with nature. "My morning run on the hair became a ritual," says George, a regular guest. "Afterwards, breakfast at the Saint George Hotel was like a reward." Tip: Take a bottle of water and a camera — the views are unforgettable. Modern Pleasures: Entertainment for Everyone Summer cinema under the stars Pomorie's open-air cinema combines retro charm with modern comfort.
