• Fishing is a traditional profession of the people,
living in towns and villages on the Black Sea coast
like Burgas, Nesebar, Sozopol and Pomorie.
• The fishers go fishing at the coast or by small
boats and sell the fish at local fish markets. Bigger
ships, using nets, catch more fish and sell it to
traders.
• However, in the evenings, a lot of those ships
moor at the harbours and sell the fish directly to
the locals. It is a real attraction for the tourists to
see hundreds of people holding plastic bags full of
fresh-caught fish coming from the harbour.
• The ‘Slavyanka’ factory, located in Burgas,
produces fish cans for the market.

on the Southern slope of the Balkan mountains,
that produce wine for connoisseurs.

bigger and less dependent on the weather conditions. It is
unique for the town, so there is a Salt Museum.
