Town/Village:
A nice little village situated in a sheltered bay, Kranevo is 24 km north of the city of Varna. It lies just beyond the northern end of Golden Sands and at the southern part of a long beach, which extends towards the luxurious resort of Albena to the north. The vast beach, clean sea, gently sloping sea bottom and curative mineral water have propelled the swift growth of the village into a competitive tourist destination.
Kranevo has succeeded an ancient Roman stronghold, known as 'Ekrenethe harbour 'Kraneia'. Traces of the Roman fortress, which was exploited during the Middle Ages as well, have been found on the southern plateaus above the village. Relatively close to Kranevo is the famous Aladzha rock monastery. On the opposite direction are located the town of Balchik with its beautiful palace and Botanic Garden. There is a direct road of tarmac trough the area of Baltata connecting Kranevo and Albena resort. The road used to be used by villains.
Kranevo is known as a resort for small kids, where they go for their vacation. There are many school camps, as well as running mineral water in the village. In the village of Kranevo one will find a combination of fresh air, clean sea water and wonderful beaches. This place is suitable for those on a budget, because the prices in Kranevo are far cheaper than those in Albena, besides there is a great capacity of private lodgings for foreigners and Bulgarian tourists. There are a lot of restaurants, cafes, snack bars and bars.
