Pomorie
One day is enough to see the mud spa, salt museum and lake; add a half‑day if you want a beach break.
Pomorie is a small Black Sea resort known for therapeutic mud, a historic salt museum and the nearby Lake Pomorie. The sights cluster in the town centre, so a single day covers the highlights, with optional extra time for beach or bird‑watching at the lagoon.
