The Village of St Vlas
St Vlas village has about 3,000 inhabitants and is situated just 4 km to the north of Sunny Beach resort and 9 km away from the town of Nessebar. It lies in the skirts of the Stara Planina mountain and thus offers a beautiful combination of sea and mountain climate, and has long been considered by Bulgarians as particularly favourable for those with respiratory problems. The eastern end of the village's adjacent coastal line hosts a small port used by local fishermen.

The village of St Vlas is believed to have been founded by the Thracian tribe of Larisi in the 2nd century BC. At that time, it reportedly bore the name of Larisa. It was renamed Sveti Vlas in the 14th century AC after the patron saint of cattle growers and merchants. During Ottoman rule (late 14th-19th century AC), the village appeared in administrative registrars as 'Manastir' ('Monastery') or 'Kyuchuk Manastir' after the five monasteries in the vicinity of the village. Unfortunately, none of the monasteries has been preserved up to present days. Officially, it restored its name of St. Vlas after the reunification of the Bulgarian state in 1886.

There are a number of pubs and restaurants. Visitors can also take advantage of the various tourist facilities, including outdoor food, of Sunny Beach, which is just 5 minutes away by car. There is regular bus transport from Nessebar and Bourgas to St. Vlas, and plenty of private minibuses, route and ordinary taxis. There is also water transport to and from Nessebar and Bourgas to Sunny Beach.
